Book (stand-alone)GuidelineGuías sobre los estándares para equipos de aplicación de plaguicidas agrícolas y procedimientos de pruebas relacionados
Aspersores montados sobre vehículos y remolcados
2001Las guías de la FAO sobre estándares están basadas en estándares internacionales existentes, tanto europeos como nacionales, y otras referencias publicadas. Ellas también hacen uso del conocimiento profundo y la experiencia de los estándares internacionales para aspersores de los expertos asignados al proyecto y en la experiencia de los autores en la aplicación de pesticidas en el mundo en vías de desarrollo. Las guías sobre estándares constan de especificaciones detalladas y requisitos, apoy ados por procedimientos de prueba para medir el cumplimiento de los estándares de la FAO, para los principales tipos de aspersores de plaguicidas agrícolas fabricados o usados en los países miembros de esta organización. Estos estándares reflejan la práctica manufacturera contemporánea, otros estándares nacionales e internacionales y la realidad práctica del agro en los países miembros. El objetivo tanto de los requisitos mínimos como de las guías de los estándares es dar a los fabricantes y a los gobiernos un sistema de aseguramiento práctico y de calidad confiable. Cada país miembro puede entonces decidir sobre la forma y la velocidad de la introducción de las respectivas guías en la práctica nacional y en la legislación, en donde sea apropiado.
