Visser Horti Systems is now a SKL certified inspector

About SKL testing

A SKL test is a recurring inspection of spraying equipment on functionality and safety. The SKL protocol for inspections is based on the content of the article 8 of the EU directive for a Sustainable Use of Pesticides. In 2015, the ministry of Economic Affairs has integrated the obligation to inspect sprayers in their legislation. Meaning that legally all field crop sprayers have to be inspected every 3 years by an official SKL certified testing station.

"Recurring inspections contribute to an increase of lifespan and reliability of installations."
