Annex No 2 to Decree No 207 / 2012 Coll.
Restrictions on the use of professional equipment for product application
The operator of a professional device for the application of products shall use this device only in good agro-technical terms and in optimal weather conditions. In addition, it must select an optimal setting of the equipment working mode to minimise risks to health and the environment.
A. Optimal weather conditions for professional equipment for the application of products without anti-shock components:
(a) wind speed up to 3 m / s;
(b) air temperatures up to 25 ° C; and
(c) relative humidity greater than 60%.
B. Optimal setting of professional device operating mode for application of products without anti-shock components:
a) optimal frame height above the surface - according to nozzles,

Annex No 3 to Decree No 207 / 2012 Coll.
Preparation of application fluid and cleaning of professional equipment for application of preparations
A. Preparation of application fluid
The following requirements shall be complied with when performing a professional device for the application of spray-bearing agents (especially water) or preparation:
(a) The carrier shall be free from mechanical impurities.
b) Perform filling of the tank through the filling sieve or filling filter.
(c) If the professional device for the application of the products is equipped with its own filling device, the suction hose shall be terminated by the basket and the carrier shall be guided through the suction filter. This additional device may only be used if the carrier is sucked from an impermeable tank from which there is no risk of contamination of surface or groundwater.
(d) The mixing device shall be in operation.
(e) Where incorporation equipment is provided, it must be used.
(f) When multiple applications are carried out at the same time, their concentrates are added to the tank separately.
g) Mix the contents of the container thoroughly before starting the application. The mixing device must also be in operation during application.
B. Cleaning of professional equipment for product application
After the completion of the application or during the rotation of the products, a thorough cleaning of the professional equipment for the application of the products (daily cleaning) must always be done. At regular intervals, the complete rendering of the entire professional device for the application of the products must also be carried out, at least after the end of the season, for a longer period or before its planned control testing.
The cleaning of professional equipment for the application of the products shall be carried out in places designated for this or in a field followed by spraying the residue at the edge of the treated parcel. The operator shall use adequate protective equipment when cleaning, follow the instructions on the product label and, where appropriate, follow the instructions for use of the detergent.
1. Daily cleaning
Daily cleaning consists of a thorough rinsing of all parts of the application fluid, tank and nozzle distribution. It shall be carried out at places designated for this or on the treated parcel using the professional rinsing system for the application of the products. The outer parts of the professional device for the application of the products shall be rinsed after the shift has been completed with clean water.
2. Total rendering
In addition to daily maintenance, a thorough external cleaning, drainage of professional equipment for the application of preparations (protection against freezing of liquid residues) and corrosion treatment and possible dismantling of certain parts shall be carried out. The protected professional device for the application of the products should be protected against weather effects.
3. Internal rendering
Dilute the residue of the spray fluid with water and spray to the area where the application was made.
Dilute the residue of the spray fluid twice more and spray again to the area where the application was made.
Only diluted liquid which cannot be sprayed is removed from the field. This residue must be stored and secured prior to leakage into the environment after exhaustion of the tank. Such residues must be treated as hazardous waste.
4. External cleaning
The remains of the products from the professional equipment for the application of the products shall be cleaned on the property. It is changed instead of cleaning in order to avoid repeated loading of the land with residues of preparations.
If the professional equipment for the application of the products is cleaned on the holding, a place where rinse water is used for further processing or disposal shall be selected.

Annex No 4 to Decree No 207 / 2012 Coll.
Requirements for the restriction of product leaching and the use of professional equipment for the application of products limiting the leaching of products for reducing the protective distance
General conditions:
1. The reduction of the protective distance is not possible if it is excluded in the instructions for use or if the protective distance results from limiting the risks of a standardised sentence (1).
2. If a protective distance from surface water is indicated in the instructions for use in case of application on sloping land, the product shall not be applied to those parts of sloping land which are less distant from surface water than at a specified protective distance.
A. Requirements for the restriction of product drift
The anti-relief classification divides professional equipment for the application of products into three classes of drift limitation, marked 50%, 75% or 90%.
For the inclusion of a professional device for the application of products in the list of professional devices for the application of products with a view to limiting unwanted drift, test results demonstrating the degree of reduction of drift and any restrictions on use shall be submitted.
B. Use of professional equipment for the application of products limiting the use of products for reducing the protective distance provided for in the decision authorising the product
Practical implementation of the use of anti-relief measures is conditional on compliance with the design requirements for professional equipment for the application of products, requirements for technical measures, in particular the use of anti-relief nozzles, and technological measures aimed at the working mode of professional equipment for the application of the products, in particular compliance with the running speed, working pressure and height of nozzles above the application as set out in Annex 2 to this Decree.
If the product has a protective distance, this may be reduced by applying anti-relief measures.
If a table with prescribed protective distances and possibilities for shortening is included in the product instructions for use, using appropriate professional devices for the application of products classified in each class of drift limitation, the final distance shall be governed by this table.
Where only the prescribed protective distance is included in the instructions for use without shortening, the possibility of shortening it by using the appropriate professional equipment for the application of the products classified in each class of drift restriction with the tables that the plant health administration declares in the Journal.
