Overview

EN 15695-2:2017 is a CEN European standard that specifies requirements and test procedures for filters used in operator cabs of agricultural tractors and self‑propelled sprayers (cab categories 2, 3 and 4 as defined in EN 15695‑1). Its purpose is to limit operator exposure to airborne hazardous substances (dust, aerosols, vapours) during agricultural and forestry operations. The standard defines laboratory test methods, minimum performance levels and the information that filter manufacturers must provide.

Key Topics and Requirements

• Scope and exclusions
  • Applies to filters integrated into cabs (categories 2–4); does not cover fumigants, selection of cab category for specific applications, in‑field cab performance or field durability of filters. Not applicable to filters manufactured before its publication as EN.
• Dust filter
  • Gravimetric efficiency ≥ 99 % (tested per ISO 14269‑4 or equivalent).
  • Test conditions: horizontal position, cab inlet air flow at highest operating condition, temperature (23 ± 2) °C, relative humidity (50 ± 3) %, test dust concentration 1 g/m3 over 30 min.
• Aerosol filter
  • Must meet type “P‑R” requirements of EN 143 to block aerosols.
  • Maximum aerosol penetration ≤ 0.05 % before and after storage.
  • Test with paraffin oil / DEHS / DOP per EN 1822‑2 / EN 1822‑5 for 20 min at maximum flow; penetration measured at ≤5 min intervals; post‑storage retest after (24 ± 1) h (16–32 °C, 50 ± 30 % RH).
• Vapour filter
  • Must meet type “A” requirements of EN 14387 for organic vapours with boiling point > 65 °C.
  • Pre‑test conditioning: drop and vibration (logarithmic sweep 10–200 Hz, back to 10 Hz at 1.5 Hz/s; specific displacement/acceleration levels; 0.5 h per axis).
  • Tested using the cyclohexane method (EN 12941) for 70 min at 1.8 mg/l upstream; downstream concentration not to exceed 10 ml/m3 throughout test.
• Manufacturer information and marking
  • Required user information: intended use / protected substances, installation, service, maintenance, replacement and disposal instructions.
  • Marking: e.g., “Filter for cab category X according to EN 15695‑1:2017.”

Applications and Users

• Practical use: specifying and verifying cab filtration systems to reduce operator exposure during spraying, fertilising and other tasks generating dust, aerosols or organic vapours.
• Primary users:
  • Tractor and self‑propelled sprayer manufacturers and OEMs
  • Filter and filtration system manufacturers
  • Test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
  • Health & safety officers, agricultural service providers and machine specifiers

Related Standards

Normative references used by EN 15695‑2:2017 include:
