Full title and description

STB BS ISO 22369-1-2006 — Crop protection equipment — Drift classification of spraying equipment — Part 1: Classes. This designation refers to the international ISO standard ISO 22369-1:2006 (classification of spray drift reduction classes) and its national adoption as a British Standard (BS ISO 22369-1:2006).

Abstract

ISO 22369-1:2006 specifies the drift classification of spraying equipment and defines spray drift reduction classes. It is applicable to spraying equipment used in arable field crops, bush and tree crops, horticulture and forestry, and is intended to be used alongside other parts of the ISO 22369 series where applicable.

Scope

This part of ISO 22369 establishes the classes used to describe the reduction of spray drift from spraying equipment. It defines the classification framework (the drift‑reduction classes) that can be used to rate spraying devices across applications such as arable field spraying, bush and tree crops, horticulture and forestry; it is intended to be applied together with the test and measurement procedures given in other parts of the ISO 22369 series.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of spray drift reduction classes for spraying equipment (classification framework).
• Scope of applicability: arable crops, bush/tree crops, horticulture and forestry.
• Intended use together with method and measurement parts (e.g., ISO 22369-2 for field measurements).
• Terminology and class descriptors to enable consistent labelling and comparison of drift-reducing performance.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers and designers of spraying equipment (to classify and communicate drift-reduction performance); certification and testing bodies (to apply classification outcomes from test methods); agricultural regulators and extension services (to set guidance or procurement requirements); researchers and agronomists working on spray drift mitigation. The standard is used where a common classification of drift‑reduction performance is required and in conjunction with the measurement procedures in later parts of the series.

Related standards

Part of the ISO 22369 series. A directly related document is ISO 22369-2:2010 (Crop protection equipment — Drift classification of spraying equipment — Part 2: Classification of field crop sprayers by field measurements), which specifies field measurement procedures that allow allocation of the classes defined in Part 1. National identical/adopted versions exist (for example BS ISO 22369-1:2006, SS-ISO 22369-1:2006).

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 22369-1:2006 (adopted as BS ISO 22369-1:2006) defines the classification scheme (classes) for spray drift reduction of crop‑protection spraying equipment.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the definitions and class descriptors used to express spray drift reduction performance and is intended to be used with measurement/test methods given in other parts of ISO 22369 (for example Part 2 for field measurements).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Equipment manufacturers, testing and certification bodies, regulators, agronomists and researchers concerned with spray drift and drift‑reduction measures.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The ISO bibliographic record indicates ISO 22369-1:2006 was last reviewed and confirmed in 2020 and remains current in ISO’s catalogue; the British adoption is listed as BS ISO 22369-1:2006. Users should check national catalogues for any later national amendments or withdrawals.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 1 of ISO 22369. Related parts include ISO 22369-2:2010 (field measurement methods to classify field crop sprayers) and national identical/adopted versions.
