Third European Workshop on Standardised Procedure for the Inspection of Sprayers - SPISE 3 -, Brno, September 22-24, 2009 164 Julius-Kühn-Archiv, 426, 2010 Conclusions of Session 5 Kole, J.C.1; Lesnik, M.2 1 SKL,Agro Businesspark 24, NL6708PW  Wageningen, The Netherlands  2 Faculty of Agriculture of Malibor, Pivola 10, SI-2311 Hoce, Slovenia Topic discussed: • Is there a need for the creation of a EU-wide platform of the responsible bodies of all MS and can the SWG play a role in this? And what are the demands of such a platform? • How can the uniformity of the inspection schemes in the different MS be promoted or guaranteed? • Is there a need for a European database so that MS can easily check the validity of granted certificates of tested sprayers? • How to define and deal with  minor defects? • How can the uniformity of test reports be better? • What are the elements what have to stated on a label (shape, content, colour, etc.)? • Can SPISE or the SWG play a role in endeavouring MS in mutual recognition of inspections between MS? Some conclusions: • At the moment there is no need for a central European database of issued certificated. Not all MS heave an inspection scheme running, not all MS have a central database and there will be problems with the misuse of data, place, management, admission and content of the database. • Approved PAE should be issued with a certificated which exist of both a official test report and a label fixed on a clearly visible place on the machine • The base for good and uniform inspections are harmonised EN standards. Therefore it is important that the standards EN-13790 are harmonised and official published. So that they can be implemented by the different MS. The priority will be the standards for both field crop and air-assisted sprayers, but there is also a need for harmonised standards for the other types of equipment. • Mutual recognition between MS and easy validation of approved sprayers will be promoted by a uniform label. Uniformity in the content of the label and the colour of the label. For the colour is the colour coding of spray nozzles an idea (ISO 10625). • At the moment there is no uniformity between MS how they deal with minor defects. • Point of attention in the revision and harmonisation traject of CEN TC144 WG3 of the standards EN-13790: o A correct definition of minor defects. o Uniform test report. o Development of standards for other PAE as field-crop and air-assisted sprayers. Listing of subjects to be dealt with by the SPISE Working Group: • The SPISE workshops, the SWG and the SPISE website have already a role in giving information to MS with the implementation of sprayer inspection schemes. But the SWG can play a role in giving information to MS for implementing a sprayer testing scheme. This can be done in cooperation with the Commission. • To make the communication between the responsible bodies and expert between MS more easier, the SWG can play a role in assembling a list of this body in the different MS. • SWG can play a role in promoting a uniform label (content, colour, size, etc). • In cooperation with the Commission the SWG can play a role in the development and execution of an auditing system for the inspection schemes in the MS.
