Overview

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, relating to machines which were placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) for the first time, with the intent of simplifying the means of proving conformity with such requirements. Once this standard is designated a harmonized standard in the Official Journal of the European Union, a manufacturer applying this standard may assume compliance with the requirements of the Machinery Directive (the so-called "presumption of conformity"). This part of ISO 19932 specifies test methods for safety and environmental requirements of ISO 19932-1. It is applicable to lever-operated knapsack sprayers, knapsack compression sprayers and knapsack sprayers driven by an engine or electric motor using hydraulic pressure atomisation of the spray liquid, with a nominal volume of more than 3 l, for their intended use primarily in agriculture and horticulture. It does not apply to knapsack mistblowers. This part of ISO 19932 deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to knapsack sprayers when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A), excepting the hazards arising from: - static electricity; - explosion or fire from chemicals for spraying; and - insufficient structural integrity. This document is not applicable to knapsack sprayers which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document. This standard contains the German version of EN ISO 19932-2:2013 which has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 23 "Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 144 "Tractors and machinery for agriculture and forestry" at the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). The national interests during the preparation are represented by Working Committee NA 060-16-02 AA "Bodenbearbeitung, Saat, Pflanzenpflege und Pflanzenschutz" ("Soil cultivation, seeding, plant care and plant protection") of the Agricultural Machinery Standards Group at Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN. Stakeholders were involved in the development of the standard.
