Agricultural and forestry machinery - Inspection of sprayers in use - Part 2: Horizontal boom sprayers (ISO 16122-2:2015)

ISO 16122-2:2015, when used together with ISO 16122-1, specifies the requirements and test methods for the inspection of horizontal boom 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. Requirements for the protection of inspectors during an inspection are given in ISO 16122 1.

Introduction
There are two main reasons for the inspection:

— less potential risk of environmental contamination by plant protection products;

— good control of the pest with the minimum possible input of plant protection product.

In order to use plant protection products in agricultural production safely, it is necessary to define the

requirements and test methods for sprayers in use. This is a relevant step after having standardized

minimum requirements for new sprayers, in respect of safety hazards (see ISO 4254-6) and potential

risks of environmental contamination (see ISO 16119 series).

Standardizing the requirements and methods for inspection of sprayers in use, takes into consideration

not only the original performance of the sprayer but also its use, care and maintenance. This is a logical

link to ensure the continued benefit arising from the supply of new sprayers of good quality.

The inspection of sprayers in use can be a mandatory requirement or adopted on a voluntary basis. In

both cases further requirements, outside the scope of this standard, are necessary for the management

of inspections. These include, for example, requirements for the competence of persons carrying out

inspections and the frequency of inspections.

NOTE National or local regulations may also apply concerning the qualifications and competence of

inspectors.

ISO 16122-2:2015(E)
4 Requirements and method of verification
4.1 Leaks and dripping
4.1.1 Static leaks
The sprayer shall be filled with water to its nominal capacity.

With the pump not running and the sprayer parked on a level horizontal surface, a visual inspection for

any leakage from the tank, pump and associated pipes shall be carried out.

For high capacity tanks, water filling can be reduced to no less than half of the nominal tank volume,

provided an additional inspection of the tank is carried out in order to identify any cracks, holes or other

damage that can cause leakage.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection.
4.1.2 Dynamic leaks
4.1.2.1 Leak test when not spraying

With the sprayer running at a pressure which is equal to the maximum obtainable pressure for the

system, with the section valves closed, there shall be no leakage from any part of the sprayer.

Compliance shall be checked by inspection.
4.1.2.2 Leak test while spraying

While spraying at a pressure that is equal to the maximum working pressure recommended by the

sprayer manufacturer, or the nozzle manufacturer for the nozzles mounted on the sprayer if lower, there

shall be no leakage from any part of the sprayer or spray boom.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection.
4.1.3 Spraying and dripping on parts

Regardless of the height of the boom above the ground, in the height range between the nozzles and the

target surface, no liquid shall be sprayed directly on to the sprayer itself (e.g. parts of the sprayer, hoses).

This does not apply if needed by function (e.g. sensors) and if dripping is minimised.

Compliance shall be checked by inspection and function test.
4.2 Pump(s)
4.2.1 Capacity
The pump capacity shall be suited to the needs of the sprayer.

a) The pump capacity shall be at least 90 % of its original nominal flow given by the sprayer

manufacturer or another minimum pump capacity given by the sprayer manufacturer.
Compliance shall be checked by measurement according to 5.2.1.2.2 or 5.2.1.2.3.

b) Or, alternatively, the pump(s) shall have sufficient flow rate capacity in order to be able to spray

while maintaining a visible agitation as specified in 4.3.1.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection.

Compliance shall be checked by inspection.
4.3.2 Mechanical

A clearly visible agitation shall be maintained when the agitation system is working as recommended by

the sprayer manufacturer, with the tank filled to half its nominal capacity.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection.
4.4 Spray liquid tank
4.4.1 Lid

The tank shall be provided with a lid that shall be well adapted and in good condition.

This lid shall be tightly sealed to prevent leakage and shall avoid unintended opening.

If a vent is fitted in the lid (according to 4.4.4), it shall prevent spillage.
Compliance shall be checked by inspection.
