Agricultural and forestry machines - Inspection of sprayers in use - Part 5: Aerial spray systems - Environmental protection (ISO 16122-5:2020)

This International Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for their verification for inspection in use for aerial fixed wing and rotary aircraft spray systems for agriculture, horticulture forestry and human health, with respect to minimizing the risk of environmental.
This part of ISO 16122 relates mainly to the condition of the equipment with respect to its potential risk for the environment and its performance to achieve good applications.
NOTE: Requirements for the protection of inspectors during an inspection are given in ISO 16122-1.

Land- und Forstmaschinen - Pflanzenschutzgeräte - Gerätekontrolle - Teil 5: Luftfahrzeuge (ISO 16122-5:2020)

Dieses Dokument legt Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für die Kontrolle von in Gebrauch befindlicher Pflanzenschutztechnik für Starr- und Drehflüglern fest, die in der Land- und Forstwirtschaft, auf Grasflächen oder zur Aufwuchsbekämpfung bei Transportleitungen (z.B. Gas- und Stromleitungen) eingesetzt werden, um mögliche Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt beim Einsatz zu minimieren.
Dieses Dokument gilt nur für bemannte Luftfahrzeuge. Die Sicherheit des Luftfahrzeugs und konstruktive Merkmale bezüglich der Tauglichkeit und der Zulassung von Luftfahrzeugen sowie Anforderungen an Piloten oder Bedienpersonen, die in Ländern oder Regionen gesondert geregelt sind, werden nicht behandelt.
Dieses Dokument bezieht sich in erster Linie auf den Gerätezustand in Hinblick auf mögliche Risiken für die Umwelt und das Leistungsvermögen zur Erreichung einer guten Anwendung.
Die generellen Anforderungen von ISO 16122 gelten, sofern zutreffend, einschließlich der Anforderungen zum Schutz des Prüfpersonals während der Kontrolle.

Matériel agricole et forestier - Contrôle des pulvérisateurs en service - Partie 5: Systèmes aériens de pulvérisation - Protection de l'environnement (ISO 16122-5:2020)

Le présent document spécifie les exigences, les méthodes d'essai et la vérification de l'inspection des systèmes de pulvérisation par aéronef à voilure fixe ou tournante destinés à l'agriculture, à la foresterie, aux surfaces engazonnées et au contrôle de la végétation sur les voies de transport (comme les lignes électriques et les conduites de gaz) en vue de réduire le plus possible le risque potentiel de contamination environnementale pendant leur utilisation.
Le présent document s'applique uniquement aux aéronefs pilotés. Il ne couvre pas la sécurité des aéronefs, ni les critères de navigabilité, l'immatriculation des aéronefs, les exigences relatives aux pilotes ou aux opérateurs, qui sont précisés séparément par chaque pays ou région.
Le présent document concerne principalement la condition de l'équipement vis-à-vis de son risque potentiel pour l'environnement et de sa performance pour obtenir de bonnes applications.
Les exigences générales de l'ISO 16122-1 s'appliquent le cas échéant, y compris pour la protection des inspecteurs lors d'une inspection.

of the Directive 2009/128/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 October 2009
establishing a framework for Community action to achieve the sustainable use of pesticides.
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.
Table ZA.1 — Correspondence between this European Standard and annex II of

Introduction
Significant areas are sprayed globally by fixed wing and rotary aircraft in order to overcome serious
pest threats to agriculture and forestry. Aerial application is used where difficult terrain or crop
(forests) dictate as well as for timely application to large areas in order to maximize efficient use of
crop protection products and minimize environmental impact. This standard specifies requirements
and methods for their inspection in use of such spray systems.

Aerial spray systems — Environmental protection
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for their verification for
inspection in use for aerial fixed wing and rotary aircraft spray systems for agriculture, forestry,
turf, and vegetation control in transport access ways (such as gas and electric lines) with regard to
minimizing the potential risk of environmental contamination during use.
This document applies only to manned aerial aircraft. It does not cover aircraft safety and design
criteria for air worthiness and aircraft registration nor pilot or operator requirements all of which will
be specified separately by countries or regions.
This part of ISO 16122 relates mainly to the condition of the equipment with respect to its potential risk
for the environment and its performance to achieve good applications.
NOTE Requirements for the protection of inspectors during an inspection are given in ISO 16122-1.
