ISO 16039:2004确立了用于浇筑和修整水泥混凝土的移动式自动操作机器（通常称为“滑模摊铺机”）的定义、术语和商业文献规范的内容，这些机器在塑性条件下成型混凝土。它根据要执行的工作类型指定了一般机器配置和特殊设备。该工程可以是混凝土道路、道路安全结构（屏障、墙壁等）、道路排水结构（边缘、沟渠、排水沟等）和机场铺砌（跑道、滑行道、停机坪等）。 ISO 16039:2004不适用于带有固定在地面的非移动模板的机器，也不适用于只需要垂直推进的施工工程。

ISO 16039:2004 establishes definitions, terminology and the content of commercial literature specifications for mobile, self-operating machines used for placing and finishing cement concrete, commonly called "slipform pavers", which mould concrete in a plastic condition. It specifies the general machine configuration and the special equipment depending on the types of work to be executed. This work can be concrete roadways, road safety structures (barriers, walls, etc.), road drainage structures (edgings, gulleys, gutters, etc.) and airport paving (runways, taxiways, aprons, etc.). ISO 16039:2004 does not apply to machines with non-travelling formwork fixed to the ground and to those construction works which require only a vertical progression.
