Agricultural and forestry machines - Inspection of sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors in use - Part 4: Fixed and semi mobile sprayers (ISO 16122-4:2015)
This International Standard, to be used with ISO 16122-1, specifies the requirements and methods for their verification for the inspection of fixed and semi-mobile prayers in use. It relates mainly to the condition of the sprayer in respect of the potential risk of environmental contamination and opportunities to achieve good application.
Land- und Forstmaschinen - Kontrolle von in Gebrauch befindlichen Pflanzenschutzgeräten zum Ausbringen von Pflanzenschutzmitteln und flüssigen Düngemitteln - 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.
Matériel agricole et forestier - Contrôle des pulvérisateurs et distributeurs d'engrais liquides en service - Partie 4: Pulvérisateurs fixes et semi-mobiles (ISO 16122-4:2015)
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.
