RousseauChairman of ISO TC23 SC6 Berthoud, 69220 Belleville, FRANCEDOI 10.5073/jka.2012.439.014With the entry in force of the Thematic Strategy on sustainable use of pesticides, both new and in use sprayers have now also to comply with European regulations related to the respect for environment.Since the15th of December 2011, new sprayers have to comply with the amendment to the Machinery Directive under the process of self certification. New European harmonised standards are therefore needed to support the manufacturers in implementing this new regulation.A new series of standards (EN ISO 16 119) that defines environmental requirements on new sprayers is under development since 2009. The work started with general requirements (16  119-1), horizontal boom sprayers (ENISO 16 119-2) and vineyards and orchards sprayers (16 119-3) on the basis of the existing EN 12 761 standard developed in the 90’s, A fourth part (EN ISO 16 119-4) has also been initi-ated. Some additional parts for other specific types of sprayers could be added in the future. These standards are developed by the CEN Technical committee “Agricultural and forestry machinery” (CEN TC 144) , Working Group 3 “Mobile machines” with the participation of the ISO subcommittee on plant protection equipment (ISO TC 23/SC6), which means they will be published both as European and International standards (respectively EN and ISO standards).This work on new sprayers is done in parallel with the development of the standards for the inspection of sprayers in use (EN ISO 16 122) in order to avoid inconsistency between requirements on new and in use sprayers.The 3 first parts of ENISO 16 119 have now passed the parallel EN / ISO public enquiry and could pos-sibly be published in the Official Journal of the UE during 2013.Julius-Kühn-Archiv 439 | 2012104Fourth European Workshop on Standardised Prodedure for the Inspection of Sprayers – SPISE 4 –, Lana (South Tyrol), March 27-29, 2012 Fourth European Workshop on Standardised Prodedure for the Inspection of Sprayers – SPISE 4 –, Lana (South Tyrol), March 27-29, 2012Julius-Kühn-Archiv 439 | 2012Fourth European Workshop on Standardised Prodedure for the Inspection of Sprayers – SPISE 4 –, Lana (South Tyrol), March 27-29, 2012 Fourth European Workshop on Standardised Prodedure for the Inspection of Sprayers – SPISE 4 –, Lana (South Tyrol), March 27-29, 2012105
