Equipment for crop protection - Knapsack sprayers - Part 3: Inspection of knapsack sprayers in use (ISO 19932-3:2025)

This document specifies the requirements and test methods for inspection of the use of knapsack sprayers carried on the back or shoulder of the operator for use with plant protection products (PPPs).
The requirements relate mainly to the condition of the sprayer with respect to its potential risk to the operator and the environment and its performance to achieve good application.
This document 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, intended for use primarily in agriculture, forestry and horticulture, with a nominal volume of more than 6,0 l.
It does not apply to
—    knapsack combustion engine-driven air-blast sprayers, which are covered in ISO 28139:2019/Amd 1:2024,
—    controlled droplet application equipment utilizing rotary atomisers, or
—    portable application equipment for spatial application (such as foggers).

Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für die Überprüfung der Verwendung tragbarer Spritzgeräte für die Ausbringung von Pflanzenschutzmitteln, die auf dem Rücken oder der Schulter des Bedieners getragen werden, fest.
Die Anforderungen betreffen hauptsächlich den Zustand des Spritzgeräts in Bezug auf ein mögliches Risiko für den Bediener und die Umwelt sowie seine Leistung für eine gute Ausbringung.
Dieses Dokument gilt für tragbare Spritzgeräte, die mit einem Hebel betätigt werden (Handhebel-Spritzgeräte), Druckspeicher-Spritzgeräte sowie Spritzgeräte, die von einem Verbrennungs- oder einem Elektromotor angetrieben werden (Motor-Spritzgeräte), und hydraulischen Druck für die Zerstäubung der Spritzflüssigkeit verwenden; er gilt für Geräte mit einem Nennvolumen von mehr als 6,0 l, die insbesondere für eine Verwendung in der Land- und Forstwirtschaft und im Gartenbau vorgesehen sind.
Es gilt nicht für
   rückentragbare Blasluftsprühgeräte mit Verbrennungsmotor, die durch ISO 28139:2019/Amd 1:2024 abgedeckt sind,
   Geräte für die kontrollierte Tröpfchenausbringung mit drehenden Zerstäubern oder
   tragbare Geräte für großflächige Anwendungen (z. B. Vernebler).

Matériel de protection des cultures - Pulvérisateurs à dos - Partie 3: Contrôle des pulvérisateurs portables à dos en service (ISO 19932-3:2025)

Le présent document spécifie les exigences et méthodes d’essai pour le contrôle en service des pulvérisateurs à dos que l’opérateur porte sur le dos ou sur l’épaule et destinés à être utilisés avec des produits de protection des plantes (PPP).
Les exigences concernent principalement l’état du pulvérisateur eu égard à son risque potentiel pour l’opérateur et l’environnement, ainsi que de sa performance pour obtenir une bonne application.
Le présent document s’applique aux pulvérisateurs à dos à pression entretenue, aux pulvérisateurs à dos à pression préalable et aux pulvérisateurs à dos entraînés par un moteur à combustion ou un moteur électrique utilisant la pulvérisation sous pression hydraulique du liquide à pulvériser, destinés à être utilisés principalement en agriculture, en foresterie et en horticulture et dont le volume nominal est supérieur à 6,0 l.
Il ne s’applique pas:
—    aux atomiseurs portés à dos motorisés, qui sont couverts par l’ISO 28139:2019/Amd 1:2024.
—    au matériel d’application à gouttes contrôlées utilisant des buses centrifuges; ni
—    au matériel d’application portable pour application spatiale (par exemple brumisateurs).
