Introduction
This document is meant to assess the demands made on mobile spreading/spraying/gritting machines
operated in traffic.
For simplicity, in this document all machines are called “spreaders” also for liquid agent spraying and
gritters.
Spreaders are bound to be operated in such way that homogeneous distribution of spreading agents is
given within the set spreading dosage, spreading width and spreading track asymmetry.
In this document the following aspects are reported:
— type of spreading machines and their main performances;
— dosage tolerances admitted;
— main functions, applications;
— interface to be connected with external equipment.
This document does not refer to the yearly test done by the users on the machines in order to check the
good status during their life.
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements on design and construction of bulk spreaders and sprayers,
trailer spreaders and towed spreaders with speed related spreading for winter service. This document
also deals with information about the minimum content required for operating manuals.
The document is valid for machines, which are used to spread the following spreading agents:
— not pre-wetted and pre-wetted spreading agents;
— abrasive spreading agents;
— liquid spreading agents (brine).
This document is not applicable to:
— requirements for registration and approval;
— requirements made by automobile manufacturers;
2 3
— requirements on safety, which are dealt with in EN 17106-1 and EN 17106-3-2 .

4 Requirements
4.1 General
The spreading machine shall be designed in such a way that handling and easy adjustment for various
spreading agents under various spreading conditions (e.g. different speeds) are ensured. Selected
dosage shall be spread homogeneously within the set spreading width and spreading track asymmetry.
4.2 Type of spreading machines
The following Table 1 and Table 2 are showing the type of spreading machines related to their
performances and spreading agent.

NOTE B2 — maximum quantity is calculated with 12 m with 70 g/m at 52,5 km/h.
In case of spreading working in countries with left hand drive, the asymmetric spreading maximum
limits shall be reversed.
4.3 Requirements on dosage tolerances of spreading agents
Requirements on dosage tolerances are shown in Table 3.
The test method is described in EN 15597-2:2019, 6.3 “Procedure of static test”.
Table 3 — Requirements on dosage of spreading agent
Spreading agent Admitted deviation
Not pre-wetted agents ±6,5 %
Pre-wetted agents (with spreading agent measured ±6,5 %
separately)
Liquid spreading agent (brine) ±6,5 %
Abrasive spreading agents ±15,5 %
A positive deviation up to 3 kg/min for total amount is acceptable when the required amount spread is
less than 10 kg/min.
4.4 Technical information
Producer of spreading machine shall supply the:
a) technical data as given in the key (see Table 4) of Figure 1;
b) minimum and maximum spreading parameters (see Tables 1 to 2);
c) range of spreading track asymmetry according to spreading pattern;
