Equipment for crop protection - Knapsack sprayers - Part 1: Safety and environmental requirements (ISO 19932-1:2025)

This document specifies the safety and environmental requirements and their means of verification for the design and construction of knapsack sprayers carried on the back or shoulder of the operator for use with plant protection products. It also specifies the type of information on safe working practices (including residual risks) to be provided by the manufacturer.
This document is applicable to lever-operated knapsack sprayers, knapsack compression sprayers and knapsack sprayers driven by an engine or electric motor using hydraulic pressure atomisation of the spray liquid intended to be used primarily in agriculture, forestry and horticulture with a nominal volume of more than 6,0 l.
This document is not applicable to knapsack sprayers which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document.
It does not apply to knapsack combustion engine-driven air-blast sprayers according to ISO 28139: 2019+A1:2024.
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to knapsack sprayers when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A), excepting the hazards arising from:
—     static electricity;
—     explosion or fire from chemicals for spraying; and
—     insufficient structural integrity.
Noise is not considered to be a relevant hazard for:
—     lever operated knapsack sprayers;
—     electric motor driven knapsack sprayers.
This document does not cover electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements.
This document is intended to be applied in conjunction with ISO 19932-2:2025.

Le présent document s’applique aux pulvérisateurs à dos à pression entretenue, aux pulvérisateurs à dos à pression préalable et aux pulvérisateurs à dos entraînés par un moteur à combustion ou un moteur électrique utilisant la pulvérisation sous pression hydraulique du liquide à pulvériser, destinés à être utilisés principalement en agriculture, en foresterie et en horticulture, et dont le volume nominal est supérieur à 6,0 l.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas aux pulvérisateurs à dos fabriqués avant la date de publication du présent document.
Il ne s’applique pas aux atomiseurs portés à dos motorisés couverts par l’ISO 28139: 2019+A1:2024.
Ce document traite de tous les dangers importants, toutes les situations dangereuses et tous les événements dangereux concernant les pulvérisateurs à dos lorsqu’ils sont utilisés comme prévu et dans des conditions d’utilisation abusive qui sont raisonnablement prévisibles par le fabricant (voir l’Annexe A), à l’exception des dangers découlant de:
—     l’électricité statique;
—     l’explosion ou le feu dus aux produits chimiques à pulvériser; et
—     une intégrité structurelle insuffisante.
Le bruit n'est pas considéré comme un danger important pour:
—     les pulvérisateurs à dos à pression entretenue;
—     les pulvérisateurs à dos à moteur électrique.
Le présent document ne couvre pas les exigences de compatibilité électromagnétique (CEM).
Le présent document est destiné à être utilisé conjointement avec l’ISO 19932-2:2025.

This European Standard has been prepared under a Commission’s standardization request “M/396
Mandate to CEN and CENELEC for Standardisation in the field of machinery" and "M/471 Mandate to
CEN for standardisation in the field of machinery for pesticide application" to provide one voluntary
means of conforming to essential requirements of Directive 2006/42/EC of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 17 May 2006 on machinery, and amending Directive 2009/127/EC.
Once this standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive,
compliance with the normative clauses of this standard given in Table ZA.1 confers, within the limits of
the scope of this standard, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements
of that Directive, and associated EFTA regulations.
