Abstract

Mandatory inspections in Spain are organized following ISO 16122. In order to guarantee a clear and comprehensive inspection’s procedure in all of the official inspection’s workshops, the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture published an official inspection’s manual based on ISO 16122 in order to improve and harmonize the process. On the other hand, and considering the more and more cases of new sprayers with difficulties to fulfill the mandatory inspections requirements, an official manual for sprayer’s manufacturers have been published in collaboration with the Spanish Association of Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers (ANSEMAT) giving them a practical document to fulfill the requirements established in ISO 16119. Both documents have been written by the research team of UMA-UPC. In this paper will be presented the objectives, structure and success of the two official manuals.
