European foreword
This document (EN 15597-2:2019) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 337 “Road
operation equipment and products”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2020, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2020.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes CEN/TS 15597-2:2012, which has been technically revised.
The main following changes were introduced:
— update of the normative references and of the Bibliography;
— deletion of Table 1 and Table 2 (defined working ranges of the different types of machinery) for
spreader type definition, this is reported in EN 15597-1;
— inclusion of the determination and characteristics of test materials for salt 1 and salt 2 (Clause 5);
— addition of a new test for the starting behavior;
— simplification of the static tests;
— modification of Figure 1 to Figure 4 and deletion of Figures 5 to 8;
— adaptation of the test points to the changes in the working ranges of the spreader types;
— inclusion of Annex B as an example for a static test report.
EN 15597, Winter maintenance equipment - Spreading and spraying machines, is composed of the
following parts:
— Part 1: General requirements and definitions;
— Part 2: Requirements for distribution and their test.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,
Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of
North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the
United Kingdom.
Introduction
This document is meant to assess the demands made on mobile spreading and spraying machines
operated in traffic.
For simplicity, in this document all machines are called “spreaders” also for liquid agent spraying.
Spreading machines (spreaders/gritters) are meant to be operated in such way that homogeneous
distribution of spreading media is given within the set spreading dosage, width and spreading pattern
track.
The static and dynamic test procedure has the task to test functionality and accuracy of the spreader.
With dynamic testing, the task is also to test the spreading pattern as much as possible under real
conditions. Therefore, the dynamic test is done with trucks driving realistic speeds.
To ensure the repeatability of the results and to limit the expenditure, the tests for the certification are
not done with all possible spreading agents and all possible parameters of the operational area of the
spreader. The salt for the test is limited to three defined test materials, also the brine is defined
(see Clause 5), and the dynamic tests are not done with the highest possible driving speeds. This does
not mean that the spreaders do not work with other materials or higher speeds. If the spreader is bound
to operate with other materials and/or higher speed, this is meant to be tested and adjusted
individually by the customer. Especially when driving at higher speeds, the influences of the driving
turbulences and the truck configuration upon which the spreader is mounted become very strong so
that it makes no sense to test this for the certification independent of the special truck.
1 Scope
This document gives the possibility to certify a model of vehicle-mounted or (trailer) dragged spreading
machines for winter service with standard parameters, leaving the possibility to the manufacturer to
evolve in performances. At the same time, information is given on the minimum content required for
operating manuals.
This document is valid for machines which are used to spread the following media:
— not pre-wetted spreading agent (solid spreading agent);
— pre-wetted spreading agent;
— liquid spreading agent (brine).
The following points are not covered by this document:
— requirements for registration and approval;
— requirements made by automobile manufacturers;
— requirements on EN 15518-3.
