BS EN 12484-4 is a European standard that covers the installation and acceptance of automatic turf irrigation systems, enabling efficiency, performance and durability in irrigation applications.
BS EN 12484-4 specifies the installation methods and the automatic turf irrigation system handover.
In BS EN 12484-4, Annex A can be used as a checklist for system handover (excluding pump stations).
BS EN 12484-4 on automatic turf irrigation systems applies to:
Automated turf irrigation systems irrigate the land by continuously monitoring soil moisture content and wirelessly controlling pipeline valves to open when the moisture level falls below the minimum threshold for the turfs.
BS EN 12484-4 provides users guidance on installation method for turf irrigation systems, including installation schedule, contractor storage area, staking, trenches, trenches under roads, pipe installation, buried cables installation, connections and equipment installation, enabling users to effectively set up a turf irrigation system for stable operations.
BS EN 12484-4 provides users guidance on safety in turf irrigation systems, including trenches, excavations, user information, coils of polyethylene pipe in long lengths, protection against the danger of electrocution, ensuring safety, risk reduction and prevention of hazards in irrigation applications.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 12484-4, users can assess and install automatic turf irrigation systems, ensuring the prevention of water wastage and promoting effective turfgrass.
