This standard specifies requirements and methods for their verification for design and performances of field crop sprayers with respect to minimizing the risk of environmental contamination.
This standard applies in connection with EN 12761-1:2001 which contains general guidelines for agricultural sprayers.
NOTE The requirements are based on the test methods given in ISO 5682-2, primarily developed for hydraulic sprayers. For other sprayers, other test methods and/or test criteria may be needed. This has to be a subject for a future investigation and possible amendment of this standard.
