What is NSTS Sprayer Testing

NSTS is the delegated body in the UK to provide testing for all types of Pesticide Application Equipment (PAE). The Scheme was introduced in 2003 following the introduction of a voluntary scheme set up in 1997 by the Agricultural Engineers Association (AEA). The Scheme also offers fertiliser spreader testing.

All pesticide application equipment applying professional plant protection products (PPP) must be tested. The requirements are contained in the Plant Protection Products (Sustainable Use) Regulations 2012 – Sustainable Use Directive (SUD). Along with the requirement to follow integrated pest management (IPM) principles and ensuring operators hold the relevant certificate of competence for the application equipment they are using, testing of PPP application equipment ensures safe and accurate operation of machinery for a more sustainable future of weed, pest and disease management and control.
