About the Test

Under Irish Legislation (S.I. no. 155 of 2012) all boom Sprayers (above 3m) and blast/orchard sprayers have to be tested before December 2016 to standard EN13790. Our test is carried out to this standard by suitably qualified test engineers. All tests can be conducted either on the customer site or at our premises at Passage Cross.

All our test engineers are Department approved to carry out sprayer tests. 

All the main componants of the sprayer are tested. These include the control system(s), the pump, all nozzles, the presure gauge(s), hose lines, pressures throughout the sprayer, filters, etc.

If the sprayer passes the test a certificate will be awarded stating that the sprayer meets the required standard. In the event of a failure, recommendations will be provided informing the user of the necessary repairs. Once these repairs are completed within 28 days then a free re-test will be provided and a certificate will be issed at that date.
