Overview
EN 15695-1:2017 (CEN) - “Agricultural tractors and self‑propelled sprayers - Protection of the operator (driver) against hazardous substances - Part 1: Cab classification, requirements and test procedures” defines how operator cabs reduce exposure to hazardous substances (dust, aerosols, vapours) during application of plant protection products (PPP) and liquid fertilisers. The standard classifies cabs, sets design and test requirements for filtration and air‑delivery systems, and specifies required user information from manufacturers.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Cab classification: four categories
- Category 1: no specified protection
- Category 2: protection against dust
- Category 3: protection against dust and aerosols
- Category 4: protection against dust, aerosols and vapours
- Filter housing: cabs in Categories 2–4 must provide accessible housings that accept filters per EN 15695‑2 and prevent ingress of unfiltered air.
- Air delivery and filtration system: requirements for tightness, air inlet location, blocking/failure behavior and maintenance accessibility.
- Verification and test procedures: normative test methods for
- air delivery system performance (Annex A),
- leakage determination of installed systems (Annex B),
- isolation effectiveness using aerosol laboratory methods and measurement protocols (Annex C).
- Information for use: required content of operator manuals and marking, including installation, use, maintenance and filter replacement instructions.
- Scope limits: the standard does not cover fumigant exposure, selection of cab category for specific tasks, in‑field performance, filter field durability, or cabs manufactured before its publication.
Applications and practical value
- Manufacturers of agricultural tractors and self‑propelled sprayers use EN 15695‑1 to design cabs that reduce operator inhalation risk from PPP and fertilisers.
- Filter and component suppliers align housings and filters to the standard’s mounting, accessibility and sealing requirements.
- Health & safety regulators, certifiers and purchasers reference the standard when specifying protective cabs for machinery fleets or compliance checks.
- Maintenance and service providers rely on the required documentation and test methods for periodic checks, filter replacement and troubleshooting.
- The standard helps reduce operator exposure to airborne contaminants, supporting safer spraying operations and clearer user guidance.
