TS 13315

TS 13315 is a standard for competent services that work on insect repeller and animal chaser equipment, focusing on how the service organisation should be structured and run. It is concerned less with the devices themselves than with the service network that maintains, repairs, checks and supports them. In practice, this means the standard addresses the basic conditions that help make service delivery consistent, traceable and professionally managed.

The service elements the standard brings together

The scope groups its requirements around operating arrangements, structural characteristics, technical equipment, personnel qualifications and certification. In general technical terms, these are the core building blocks of a competent service: an organised business structure, the tools and facilities needed to perform the work, staff with the relevant competence, and a documentation or certification system that demonstrates that competence. For equipment used to manage pests or deter animals, consistent service practice matters because the products are intended for environmental control and user-facing support.

What this equipment category means

Insect repeller equipment refers to devices intended to discourage insects or similar pests from remaining in or approaching a space, while animal chaser equipment is intended to help keep certain animals away. Technically, this category may include products based on ultrasonic, electrical, mechanical or other physical principles. The standard, however, is about the service organisation that supports such products, not about defining the internal design or operating principle of the devices themselves.

From a general engineering perspective, dependable spare-parts handling, suitable test and inspection practices, orderly record-keeping and clear staff responsibilities are central to reliable service work. TS 13315 provides a framework for those service-side expectations so that maintenance and support for these products can be delivered in a more consistent way.
