This document specifies the safety and environmental requirements and their means of verification for the design and construction of knapsack sprayers carried on the back or shoulder of the operator for use with plant protection products. It also specifies the type of information on safe working practices (including residual risks) to be provided by the manufacturer.
u000bThis 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 to be used primarily in agriculture, forestry and horticulture with a nominal volume of more than 6,0l.
u000bThis document is not applicable to knapsack sprayers which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document.
u000bIt does not apply to knapsack combustion engine-driven air-blast sprayers according to ISO28139: 2019+A1:2024.
u000bThis document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to knapsack sprayers when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see AnnexA), excepting the hazards arising from:
u000b— static electricity;
u000b— explosion or fire from chemicals for spraying; and
u000b— insufficient structural integrity.
u000bNoise is not considered to be a relevant hazard for:
u000b— lever operated knapsack sprayers;
u000b— electric motor driven knapsack sprayers.
u000bThis document does not cover electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements.
u000bThis document is intended to be applied in conjunction with ISO 19932-2:2025.
