2. Functional checks for spraying machines

Agricola 2000 is a Testing Facility authorized by Regione Lombardia (Aut. Reg. IT/03/MI/03) and has at its disposal a mobile center that can travel within the regional territory with the necessary equipment to certify and calibrate the spraying machines. After each positive check and/or calibration, the relative identifying sticker and the check report are issued.

The Legislative Decree N. 150 of 14/08/2012 that follows the European Directive 2009/128/CE on the sustainable use of PPPs adopted by professional operators states that:

the period between two checks must not exceed three years starting from 01/01/2021;
the new equipment purchased after 26/11/2011 must undergo a first functional check within five years of its purchase.

The only exceptions to the aforementioned rules are related to:

the equipment used by a third party, for which the check must be conducted within two years of its purchase and then every two years;
the equipment used in areas that are frequented by the public (such as parks, streets, railways) for which the check must be conducted annually.
