This document, to be used together with ISO 4254-1, specifies the safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of mounted, semi-mounted, trailed and self-propelled agricultural sprayers for use with plant protection products (PPP) and liquid fertilizer application, as placed on the market by the manufacturer and designed for a single operator only. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices (including residual risks) to be provided by the manufacturer.
When requirements of this document are different from those which are stated in ISO 4254-1, the requirements of this document take precedence over the requirements of ISO 4254-1 for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this document.
This document, taken together with ISO 4254-1, deals with significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A), excepting the hazards arising from:
—          protection of the driver against spray when spraying (see Foreword);
—          automatically actuated height adjustment systems;
—          the environment, other than noise;
—          moving parts for power transmission except strength requirements for guards and barriers.
This document is not applicable to sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document.

This document supersedes EN ISO 4254-6:2009.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— some excluded hazards have been deleted from the scope as they are covered by ISO 4254-1 or this
revised edition;
— the general (stability) requirements have been deleted as they are covered by ISO 4254-1;
— the protection of the operator against hazardous substances in case of front mounted booms has
been removed as this risk is relevant to all types of sprayers but appropriate requirements (in form
of an international reference standard) are not yet available; however, the protection of the driver
against spray when spraying is dealt with by the harmonized European standard EN 15695
(Agricultural tractors and self-propelled sprayers - Protection of the operator (driver) against
hazardous substances - Part 1: Cab classification, requirements and test procedures and Part 2:
Filters, requirements and test procedures) which is listed in the EU Official Journal under the
