Agricultural machinery - Solid fertilizer line-distributors - Environmental protection - Part 2: Test methods

This Standard specifies methods to test mounted, trailed and self-propelled solid fertilizer in lines distributors including such machines attached to a basic machine, used in agriculture and horticulture. The standard does not apply to machines which are: - combined grain and fertilizer drills or; - equipment for distributing liquid or granulated pesticides. NOTE: The standard is also applicable to drilling machines if it is stated by the machine manufacturer that the machine is suitable for fertilizer application. If both drilling and spreading in lines distributors are meant, the term machine will cover them both.

Landmaschinen - Reihen-Mineraldüngerstreuer - Teil 2: Prüfverfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt Verfahren zur Prüfung von angebauten, gezogenen und selbstfahrenden Reihen-Mineraldüngerstreuern, einschließlich an einer Grundmaschine angebrachte Maschinen, fest, die in der Landwirtschaft und im Gartenbau eingesetzt werden.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt nicht für folgende Maschinen:
   Verteiler von Flüssigdünger;
   oder Verteiler von flüssigen oder granulierten Schädlingsbekämpfungsmitteln;
   oder Ausleger  und Wurf Mineraldüngerstreuer (die in EN 13739 1:2003 und EN 13739 2:2003 behandelt werden).
ANMERKUNG   Die Norm gilt auch für Drillmaschinen, wenn vom Hersteller der Maschine angegeben ist, dass sich die Maschine für die Ausbringung von Dünger eignet.
Wenn sowohl Reihen-Drillstreuer als auch Reihen-Düngerstreuer gemeint sind, deckt der Begriff "Maschine" beide ab.

Matériel agricole - Distributeurs d'engrais solides en lignes - Protection de l'environnement - Partie 2: Méthodes d'essai

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les méthodes d'essai des distributeurs d'engrais solides en lignes portés, traînés et automoteurs, y compris de telles machines associées à une machine de base, utilisés en agriculture et en horticulture.
Cette norme Européenne ne s'applique pas aux machines suivantes :
   matériel de distribution d'engrais liquides ; ou
   matériel de distribution de pesticides en granulés ou liquide ; ou
   distributeurs d'engrais solides en nappe et des distributeurs centrifuges (qui sont traités dans le prEN 13739-1 et dans le prEN 13739-2:2003).
NOTE   La norme s'applique également aux semoirs, s'il est indiqué par le fabricant que la machine est adaptée à l'épandage d'engrais.
Dès lors que le terme "machine" est utilisé, il concerne à la fois les localisateurs d'engrais en surface et les localisateurs-enfouisseurs.

Overview

EN 13740-2:2003 (CEN) specifies test methods for mounted, trailed and self‑propelled solid fertilizer line‑distributors used in agriculture and horticulture. The standard focuses on environmental protection aspects of solid fertilizer application and applies to machines attached to a basic machine. It does not apply to combined grain-and-fertilizer drills or equipment for distributing liquid or granulated pesticides. The standard can also be applied to drilling machines when the manufacturer declares the machine suitable for fertilizer application.

Key topics

• Scope and applicability: Clear definitions of which machines are covered (mounted, trailed, self‑propelled, and machines attached to a basic machine) and explicit exclusions (combined grain/fertilizer drills; liquid/granulated pesticide applicators).
• Environmental protection focus: Test methods address environmental performance of solid fertilizer line‑distributors, ensuring application practices minimise negative environmental impact.
• Test methods: Standardised procedures for evaluating line‑distribution equipment performance. (Note: the standard text itself provides the specific test procedures and conditions.)
• Manufacturer declarations: Rules for when drilling machines are treated as fertilizer applicators if declared suitable by the manufacturer.
• Adoption and reference data: Includes classification/ICS references relevant to equipment for storage, preparation and distribution of fertilizers (ICS 65.060.25) and other environmental protection standards (ICS 13.020.99).

Applications

Who uses EN 13740-2:2003 and why:

• Manufacturers: to validate design and demonstrate compliance with standardised test methods for environmental performance and distribution functionality.
• Test laboratories and certification bodies: to perform repeatable, comparable tests on solid fertilizer line‑distributors.
• Equipment purchasers and fleet managers: to compare performance claims and select machines that meet environmental and operational expectations.
• Regulators and advisors: to reference standard test procedures when developing guidance, procurement specifications or environmental compliance checks.
• Agricultural contractors and farms: to understand performance characteristics and ensure responsible fertilizer application.

Related information

• Adopted nationally (example: SIST EN 13740-2:2004 in Slovenia), reflecting CEN harmonisation practice.
• See other CEN standards and documents on agricultural machinery and environmental protection for complementary requirements and Part 1/related parts if published.
