General Information

Abstract

This European Standard is applicable to cabs of agricultural and forestry tractors and self-propelled sprayers. Its purpose is to limit the exposure of the operator (driver) to hazardous substances when applying plant protection products (PPP) and liquid fertilisers. This European Standard specifies different categories of cabs of agricultural and forestry tractors and self-propelled sprayers and the relevant requirements and test procedures in order to limit the exposure of the operator (driver) to hazardous substances when inside the cab. It also specifies the information to be provided by the tractor or self-propelled sprayer manufacturer.
This document does not cover:
-   the exposure linked to fumigants;
-   the category of cab and performance level to be used for any particular application;
-   the actual cab performance in the field applications;
-   the field durability of filters.
This document is not applicable to tractor cabs which are manufactured before the date of its publication as an EN.

With regard to the application of plant protection products (PPP) the operator can be exposed to risks:
 before the actual spraying operation (e.g. handling of PPP cans/packages, spray tank filling, sprayer adjustment);  during the spraying operation (e.g. on the tractor or self-propelled sprayer with/without cab, when working at the sprayer when adjusting the sprayer in the field, removing nozzle blockages, etc.);  after the spraying operation (e.g. when removing residues, sprayer cleaning, service and maintenance operations). Protective measures (personal protective equipment (PPE)) are specified on labels today, for example:  dermal exposure: gloves, overall, apron, headdress (with face protection), protective goggles;  respiratory exposure: filtering half masks. The objective of this European Standard is to improve the operator protection by using the protective function of the cab of self-propelled sprayers and tractors in case of mounted or trailed sprayers. For this purpose this European Standard specifies cab categories, performance requirements, test procedures and the operator information to be provided, in particular with regard to installation, use and maintenance operations.
