Standard BNQ 0605-200
Arboreal and Horticultural Maintenance
BNQ standards on ornamental horticulture (BNQ 0605-) constitute a major reference for ornamental industry growers and service providers concerned with offering their customers guarantees of quality and reliability.
These standards contribute to ensuring that the production, use and maintenance of plants and landscaping work with inert materials are carried out with environmental preservation in mind and consideration of currently existing techniques.
The standard BNQ 0605-200 concerns arboreal and horticultural maintenance in particular. In addition to specifying requirements ensuring a minimum level of quality in plant maintenance (shrubs, young trees, turf, plants in containers, plant sculptures and green walls), the standard establishes key components to be considered during pruning, trimming and felling work, the removal of stumps and tree bracing. The standard is divided into 10 sections:
- Definitions;
- Pruning shrubs and young trees;
- Maintaining shrubs and young trees;
- Trimming trees;
- Felling trees and stump removal;
- Bracing trees and treating wounds and holes;
- Maintaining turf areas;
- Maintaining plants in hanging containers or wall planters;
- Maintaining plant sculptures (mosaiculture);
- Maintaining green walls.
