23、oduction This document is a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events are covered are indicated in the scope of this European Standard. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those

24、 which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. When operating self-propelled sprayers or tractors the op

25、erator can be exposed to hazardous substances such as dust, aerosols or vapours (for example during the application of plant protection products or fertilisers). Cabs of agricultural tractors and self-propelled sprayers providing protection against these substances may respectively be used to reduce

26、 operator exposure to air-borne contaminants generated during farming operations. 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);

27、 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

28、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 i

29、mprove 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 pr

30、ovided, in particular with regard to installation, use and maintenance operations. BS EN 15695-1:2009EN 15695-1:2009 (E) 6 1 Scope 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 (dri

31、ver) 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 e

32、xposure 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 f

33、or 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. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indi
