TS 13390

TS 13390 sets out the rules for authorized services that work on spraying devices, focusing on how these service organisations should be structured and what minimum operating conditions they should meet. The subject is the service provider rather than the spraying equipment itself: the standard addresses the organisation, competence and technical setup needed to maintain, repair and support such devices in a consistent way.

Organisational and technical basis of the service

According to its scope, the standard brings together structural characteristics, business operations, technical equipment and personnel qualifications. In general technical terms, a competent service provider is not defined only by having a workshop; it also depends on suitable facilities, the right tools and measuring equipment, orderly record-keeping, and staff with the knowledge to carry out the work correctly. For spraying devices, this matters because service quality is closely tied to reliable operation, correct settings and stable maintenance practices.

How spraying-device service is understood

Spraying devices are used for controlled application tasks, especially in agricultural and pest-control contexts. Their performance depends on elements such as spray pattern, flow rate, nozzles, pressure control and sealing integrity. Authorized services therefore do more than fix breakdowns: they support maintenance continuity and technical conformity in the field. TS 13390 is concerned with the minimum rules for that service infrastructure.
