Scope
This part of EN ISO 16119 specifies general requirements for the design and performance of sprayers, as defined in EN ISO 5681, with regard to minimizing the potential risk of environmental contamination during use, including misuse foreseeable by the manufacturer. It also specifies the requirements for identification of the sprayer and certain of its components, and the minimum content of the operator’s manual.
It is intended to be used with each of the other parts of EN ISO 16119, which give requirements specific to particular types of sprayers (see Annex A). This part of EN ISO 16119 is applicable to all types of sprayers used in agriculture, horticulture, forestry and other areas, except knapsack sprayers. It does not cover safety aspects (see EN ISO 4254‑6).
NOTE Knapsack sprayers are covered by EN ISO 19932 and knapsack combustion engine-driven airblast sprayers (knapsack mistblowers) are covered by EN ISO 28139, which deal with safety as well as environmental aspects. Unmanned agricultural aerial sprayers are covered by EN ISO 23117.
This part of EN ISO 16119 is not applicable to sprayers manufactured before the date of its publication.
