BS EN 13406:2002 Agricultural machinery - Slurry tankers and spreading devices - Environmental protection - Requirements and test methods for the spreading precision
This European Standard specifies test methods and requirements for the design and construction of slurry tankers
for broadcasting and band spreading of slurry 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 and the stretch within the tolerance zone.
NOTE The application of this standard alone will not be sufficient to deal with all the environmental aspects. Other aspects
such as ammonia emission, odour reduction etc. should be considered.
These requirements are valid only according to the tests with slurry as described in Table A.1.
Personal safety aspects have not been considered in this standard. These aspects are covered by EN 707.
