BS ISO 22401:2015

This standard BS ISO 22401:2015 Equipment for crop protection. Method for measurement of potential spray drift from horizontal boom sprayers by the use of a test bench is classified in these ICS categories:

• 65.060.40 Plant care equipment

This International Standard provides a test method to measure spray sedimentation from horizontal boom sprayers using a test bench. The sedimentation measure gives a value for potential spray drift. These measurements can be used to compare different sprayer setups on the same sprayer.

This International Standard is applicable to mounted,trailed and self-propelled horizontal boom sprayers used in arable crops; and horizontal boom sprayers used for weed control in orchards/vineyards and spray application on horticultural crops.

This International Standard is intended for booms using a uniform set of spray generators. If intended for spray drift classification of the sprayer, the comparison is limited to nozzle type, spray pressure and boom height.
