ISO 13441-1:1997

Overview

ISO 13441-1:1997, "Air-assisted agricultural sprayers - Data sheets - Part 1: Typical layout," defines the standardized layout and technical specifications for data sheets describing air-assisted agricultural sprayers. It applies to mounted, trailed and self-propelled sprayers used in arboriculture, viticulture and hop cultivation. The part helps manufacturers, importers and component suppliers present consistent information about dimensions, materials, characteristics and design of sprayers.

Key topics

The standard focuses on the structure and content of manufacturer data sheets and includes:

• General specifications: manufacturer name/address, type, model, year of manufacture and trade names.
• Dimensions: standardized presentation of overall length, axle‑coupling length, wheelbase, wheel track (min/max), tank filler height, chassis clearance, operating/transport heights and minimum turning radius (as per ISO 789-3).
• Masses: empty and full masses, axle or wheel loads, and total mass.
• Tyres and brakes: tyre make/type/dimensions and inflation pressures; brake types and parking/foot-brake details.
• Engine and drivetrain (for engine-driven/ self‑propelled units): engine make, cycle, cooling, capacity, rated speed and output (references ISO 2288), fuel tank capacity, transmission types, drive-axle configuration, clutch and steering.
• Operator station: cab features, seats, windscreen wipers/washer, cab filtering and air conditioning options.
• Spraying system design codes: Annex A codifies common configurations (e.g., spray booms; main fan(s); fan + deflectors; recuperation/ reflection panels - code group 502).
• Annexes: Annex A (normative) provides the code list for data-sheet entries; Annex B (informative) lists related ISO standards and bibliography.

Applications

ISO 13441-1 is practical for:

• Manufacturers and importers preparing technical data sheets and catalogs.
• Component and accessory suppliers aligning specifications for compatibility and procurement.
• Dealers and buyers comparing equipment on consistent criteria.
• Test labs and certification bodies referencing standardized data presentation during inspections.
• Agricultural engineers and service teams using consistent dimensional and mass data for installation, maintenance and transport planning.

Related standards

Annex B cross-references international standards relevant to agricultural sprayers (e.g., ISO 789-3 for turning radius, ISO 2288 for engine power, and other ISO documents on sprayer nozzles, connections and test methods). Use these related standards alongside ISO 13441-1 to ensure complete technical compliance.
