ASABE Publishes Air-Quality Standard

The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) has published the fourth in a series of standards to improve the air-quality systems of agricultural cabs.

The last in the four-part series—ANSI/ASABE S613-4, Tractors and self-propelled machinery for agriculture—Air quality systems for cabs—Part 4: Performance test of a cab—is now available.

The standard provides guidance for testing the level of protection provided by the cab enclosure of agricultural equipment when operating in hazardous environments.

Almost complete is a revision to Part 3 of the series—Filters for environmental cab HVAC systems—which will revise acceptance levels and clarify wording.

ASABE members with standards access and those with site-license privileges can access the full-text of the standard by electronic download later this month at elibrary.asabe.org.

Others can obtain a copy for a fee directly from the library or by contacting ASABE headquarters at OrderStandard@asabe.org.
