Scope

This European Standard specifies test methods and requirements for the design and construction of manure spreaders for spreading manure in agriculture and horticulture with the intention of minimising the environmental damage. It specifies requirements for the transverse and longitudinal spreading characteristics such as working widths, characteristic application rate, characteristic flow, the stretch within the tolerance zone and the coefficient of variation for the longitudinal spreading. These requirements are valid only according to the tests with manure as described in Table A.1. This standard is not applicable to manure band-spreaders or to sludge spreaders. NOTE Sludge spreaders can be dealt with in a future revision when there is sufficient data available to determine their classification and to set the limits for the machine requirements. Personal safety aspects have not been considered in this standard. These aspects are covered by EN 690.
