Overview

EN 12484-1:1999 (CEN) - Irrigation techniques - Automatic turf irrigation systems - Part 1: Definition of the programme of equipment by the owner - defines the information an owner must supply to start the design, sizing and implementation of an automatic turf irrigation system. It applies to projects larger than 1 ha, including golf courses, race courses, large municipal parks and sports fields. The standard sets out the required data, irrigation needs, constraints and user requirements that enable accurate system specification and procurement.

Key topics and requirements

EN 12484-1 requires the owner to present and quantify, as a minimum:

• Project and site data: area, layout, turf types and planting zones, topography and soil conditions.
• Irrigation needs: expected watering frequency, target turf quality, seasonal variations and evapotranspiration considerations.
• Water supply and hydraulic constraints: available flow, pressure, source characteristics and any restrictions.
• Operational and maintenance requirements: control preferences (automatic/manual), access, maintenance schedules and staffing.
• Environmental and regulatory constraints: drainage, runoff control, water-use restrictions and local regulations.
• Performance and reliability expectations: service life, redundancy and acceptable downtime.

The standard is focused on the owner’s programme of equipment - a structured brief that enables designers and contractors to perform system design, hydraulic calculations and equipment sizing without ambiguity.

Applications and who uses it

EN 12484-1 is primarily used by:

• Owners and facility managers (golf clubs, municipal authorities, sports facility operators) preparing a clear technical brief for an irrigation project.
• Irrigation designers and consultants who convert owner data into detailed designs and equipment specifications.
• Landscape architects and project planners integrating irrigation requirements with broader site works.
• Contractors and equipment suppliers who size pumps, valves and controllers based on the owner’s programme.

Practical benefits include reduced design rework, clearer procurement documentation, improved system performance and alignment of client expectations with technical solutions.

Related standards and classification

• Classified under ICS 65.060.35 (Irrigation and drainage equipment).
• EN 12484-1 is part of the EN 12484 series addressing automatic turf irrigation systems; consult national standards bodies or CEN for related parts and implementation guidance.
