ISO DIS 16119-4

Description / Abstract: This part of ISO 16119 specifies requirements and the means for their verification for the design and performance of fixed and semi-mobile sprayers with regard to minimizing the potential risk of environmental contamination during use, including misuse foreseeable by the manufacturer.

This type of spraying systems is generally a combination of separate elements (main tank, pump and application unit) that could be assembled in fixed installations (fixed sprayers) or with moving parts (semimobile sprayers).

It does not apply for Ultra Low Volume (ULV) application equipment¹⁾ (i.e. foggers).

It is intended to be used with ISO 16119-1, which gives general requirements common to all the sprayer types covered by ISO 16119. When requirements of this part of ISO 16119 are different from those which are stated in ISO 16119-1, the requirements of this part of ISO 16119 take precedence over the requirements of ISO 16119-1 for machines within the scope of this part of ISO 16119.

It does not cover safety aspects (see ISO 4254-6).

This part of ISO 16119 is not applicable to sprayers manufactured before the date of its publication.

1) ULV application equipment is an application equipment designed for spraying at a Volume Application Rate (VAR) of less than 5 l/ha for field crops or less than 50 l/ha for tree/bush crops.
