Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, 2. www.iso.org/directives

ISO 16122-2 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 144, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry, in collaboration with ISO Technical Committee TC 23, Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry, Subcommittee SC 6, Equipment for crop protection, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).

ISO 16122 consists of the following parts, under the general title Agricultural and forestry machinery — Inspection of sprayers in use:

• Part 1: General
• Part 2: Horizontal boom sprayers
• Part 3: Sprayers for bush and tree crops
• Part 4: Fixed and semi-mobile sprayers

Introduction

There are two main reasons for the inspection:

• less potential risk of environmental contamination by plant protection products;
• good control of the pest with the minimum possible input of plant protection product.

In order to use plant protection products in agricultural production safely, it is necessary to define the requirements and test methods for sprayers in use. This is a relevant step after having standardized minimum requirements for new sprayers, in respect of safety hazards (see ISO 4254-6) and potential risks of environmental contamination (see ISO 16119 series).

Standardizing the requirements and methods for inspection of sprayers in use, takes into consideration not only the original performance of the sprayer but also its use, care and maintenance. This is a logical link to ensure the continued benefit arising from the supply of new sprayers of good quality.

The inspection of sprayers in use can be a mandatory requirement or adopted on a voluntary basis. In both cases further requirements, outside the scope of this standard, are necessary for the management of inspections. These include, for example, requirements for the competence of persons carrying out inspections and the frequency of inspections.

1 Scope

This part of ISO 16122, when used together with ISO 16122-1, specifies the requirements and test methods for the inspection of horizontal boom sprayers, when in use.

The requirements relate mainly to the condition of the sprayer with respect to its potential risk for the environment and its performance to achieve good application.
