Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to manual and powered crop protection equipment used for applying pesticides and spraying liquid fertilizers, including sprayers, dusters, and foggers. It is mandatory for manufacturers targeting the Chinese market. It does not apply to manned or unmanned aerial application systems, nor to equipment manufactured before the implementation date.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies comprehensive safety requirements and protective measures for various types of crop protection machinery. General requirements cover stability on slopes, sealing reliability to prevent pesticide leakage, and overpressure protection for pumps. It mandates that operators must be able to perform maintenance and replace wearing parts without specialized tools and without contamination. Specific requirements are detailed for different machine types. For knapsack equipment, limits on ear-noise and handle dimensions are specified. For boom sprayers, the standard regulates folding mechanisms and height adjustment systems to prevent crushing hazards. For self-propelled and trailed machines, requirements include braking performance, lighting, and the provision of a clean water tank. The standard also introduces new safety provisions for remote-controlled and unmanned equipment, requiring fail-safe mechanisms that immediately stop movement and application if control is lost. Additionally, it sets forth requirements for hydraulic and electrical systems, including insulation resistance and protection against high-voltage static electricity.
Testing methods
Compliance is verified through visual inspection, measurement, and performance testing. Key tests include stability tests on an 8.5° inclined plane, drop tests for knapsack tanks, and pressure resistance tests for pressurized components. For self-propelled machines, braking performance is tested on dry, hard roads. Noise levels for knapsack and portable fogging machines are measured at the operator's ear position.
