5.3 Functional tests
5.3.1 Shut-off device reliability
Detach the shut-off device assembly with the spray lance from the sprayer and mount it on a frame
according to 4.3. Connect the shut-off device to a pressurized water supply of (3 ± 0,2) bar. Fully activate
the shut-off device using a frequency of (15 ± 5) cycles/min for a total duration of 25 000 cycles. Inspect
functionality and record any leakage occurring within 1 min ± 5 s after completion of the last cycle.
5.3.2 Spray liquid output
The spray liquid output rate, q , of the sprayer for each nozzle supplied for use with the sprayer shall
m
be measured with a maximum error of ±1 % at the optimum spray pressure specified in the instruction
handbook or at the setting specified in the instruction handbook. Record the spray liquid output and
calculate the percentage deviation, σ, from the values, q , specified in the instruction handbook using

5.3.3 Load carrying straps and their fixation points
WARNING — This test has an element of risk. All personnel shall either be kept out of the test
area or otherwise protected from hazards such as parts displaced from the sprayer on test.
Fill the spray tank with water so that the total mass of the sprayer is 7 kg ± 100 g. If the empty mass
of the sprayer is over 7 kg the test shall be carried out with the sprayer empty and if the maximum
mass of the sprayer filled to the nominal volume is below 7 kg record the mass and test at this mass.
Attach the sprayer to a strap test device according to 4.4 so that each load carrying strap can be tested
individually. From the position where the sprayer is carried by a strap in the device, lift the sprayer
vertically (200 ± 20) mm and let the sprayer drop. Repeat this 10 times for each load carrying strap.
Inspect for and record any damage.
5.3.4 Stability
Position the empty sprayer on a flat hard surface with an incline of 8,5° ± 0,2° so that the load carrying
straps are facing down the slope. Set any lever and the lance in the park position specified by the
manufacturer. If there are no park positions, set the lever in its highest position with the lance down
the slope.
Check the stability of the sprayer by rotating it at 90° intervals.
Repeat the test with the spray tank filled to the nominal volume.
Record any position in which the sprayer does not remain upright without being touched.
5.3.5 Contents gauge scale and total volume
Place the empty sprayer in an upright position on a flat horizontal surface with any lever in the park
position.
Measure and record the volume between the graduations on the spray tank contents gauge scale when
filling the spray tank using a measuring cylinder according to 4.8 or using a device according to 4.7.
Continue until the spray tank is filled to its nominal volume.

5.3.6 Filling rate
This test shall be carried out on a complete sprayer, empty at the start of the test, as described in 5.2.
Wash all external surfaces of the sprayer with a non-ionic surfactant aqueous solution of 0,5 % and then
dry them.
Put any lever and spray lance in the park position. Remove the spray-tank lid or the air pump, as
appropriate, but keep the filling strainer in position.
Position the sprayer in the centre of a polythene sheet according to 4.13.
Position a filling device according to 4.6 with its outlet placed 100 mm ± 5 mm above the filling opening.
The sprayer shall be positioned with its straps opposite to the filling device with the line connecting the
upper strap fixing points orientated perpendicularly to the axis of the filling device (see Annex E). The
impact point of the test liquid shall be the middle of the filling opening.
Fill the filling device with a volume of water to its maximum volume without overspill.
Pour a volume of water that equates to the nominal spray-tank volume from the filling device into the
filling opening of the sprayer to simulate filling of the sprayer. The flow rate from the filling device shall
be such that the nominal tank volume will be poured within 60 s with a maximum flow rate deviation
of 10 %.
Wipe off any external residues on the sprayer with a tissue. Determine the amount of splashes as the
mass of the collected splashes on the polythene sheet according to 4.13 and the tissue, considering their
tare, using a weighing device according to 4.7 b).

5.3.7 Emptying
This test shall be carried out on a complete sprayer, empty at the start of the test, as described in 5.2.
Fill the sprayer with water to its nominal volume. Drain the sprayer in accordance with the instruction
handbook. Fill the sprayer again and drain according to the instruction handbook and then weigh it
using a weighing device [4.7 a)].
Determine the amount of liquid remaining in the sprayer as the difference between the mass of the
drained sprayer and the mass recorded before it was filled with water.
5.3.8 Absorbency of harness
This test shall be performed with relative air humidity of 50 % to 70 %.
Dismount the carrying straps with padding and remove any metal or plastic parts attached to them
before immersion (in order to minimize, as far as possible, the dry mass of the straps) and weigh them
dry using a weighing device according to 4.7 b). Completely immerse the straps in water for 2 min.
Remove the straps from the water, shake off surplus liquid and hang freely from one end to drain for
10 min before re-weighing.

WARNING — This test has an element of risk. All personnel shall either be kept out of the test
area or otherwise protected from hazards such as parts displaced from the sprayer on test.
Lever-operated sprayers and compression sprayers to be tested shall first have been subjected to the
drop test (see 6.2).
Fill the spray tank with water to its nominal volume. Connect the outlet of the shut-off device to an
external pressure supply device according to 4.10.
Lever-operated sprayers and engine or motor-driven sprayers are tested with the spray-tank lid
removed from the filling opening. Compression sprayers are tested with the spray-tank closed using air
pump and lid, if part of original equipment of the sprayer.
