Agricultural and forestry machines - Inspection of sprayers in use - Part 4: Fixed and semi-mobile sprayers (ISO 16122-4:2015)

ISO 16122-4:2015, when used together with ISO 16122‑1, specifies the requirements and test methods for the inspection of fixed and semi-mobile sprayers, when in use.
The requirements relate mainly to the condition of the sprayer with respect to its potential risk for the environment and its performance to achieve good application.
It does not apply to application equipment for spatial treatment (e.g. foggers).
Note that requirements for the protection of inspectors during an inspection are given in ISO 16122‑1.

Land- und Forstmaschinen - Kontrolle von in Gebrauch befindlichen Pflanzenschutzgeräten - Teil 4: Fest installierte und teilbewegliche Geräte (ISO 16122-4:2015)

Dieser Teil von ISO 16122 legt in Verbindung mit ISO 16122-1 die Anforderungen an und Prüfverfahren für die Kontrolle von in Gebrauch befindlichen fest installierten und teilbeweglichen Pflanzenschutzgeräten fest.
Die Anforderungen beziehen sich in erster Linie auf den Gerätezustand in Hinblick auf mögliche Risiken für die Umwelt und das Leistungsvermögen zur Erreichung einer guten Anwendung.
Er gilt nicht für Geräte, mit denen die Ausbringung im gesamten Raum erfolgt (z. B. Nebelgeräte).
ANMERKUNG Anforderungen in Bezug auf die Sicherheit des Prüfers während der Kontrolle sind in ISO 16122-1 enthalten.

L'ISO 16122-4:2015, lorsqu'elle est utilisée conjointement avec l'ISO 16122‑1 spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essai relatives au contrôle des pulvérisateurs fixes et semi-mobiles en service.
Les exigences concernent principalement l'état de l'équipement eu égard à son risque potentiel pour l'environnement et sa performance pour obtenir une bonne application.
Elle ne s'applique pas à l'équipement d'application pour le traitement des espaces (c'est-à-dire nébulisateurs).
Les exigences pour la protection des inspecteurs pendant le contrôle sont données dans l'ISO 16122‑1.

ISO 16122-4:2015(E)IntroductionThere are two main reasons for the inspection: less potential risk of environmental contamination by plant protection productsâ— good control of the pest with the minimum possible input of plant protection product.In order to use plant protection products in agricultural production safelyá it is necessary to de Ðine the requirements and test methods for sprayers in useä This is a relevant step after having standardized
v t w væ xrisks of environmental contamination (see ISO 16119 series).Standardising the requirements and methods for inspection of sprayers in useá takes into consideration not only the original performance of the sprayerá but also its useá care and maintenanceä This is a logical link to ensure the continued bene Ðit arising from the supply of new sprayers of good qualityäThe inspection of sprayers in use can be a mandatory requirement or adopted on a voluntary basisä In both cases further requirementsá outside the scope of this standardá are necessary for the management of inspectionsä These includeá for exampleá requirements for the competence of persons carrying out inspections and the frequency of inspectionsäNOTE National or local regulations may also apply concerning the quali Ðications and competence of inspectorsä vi © ISO 2015 – All rights reservedSIST EN ISO 16122-4:2015
