Overview
ISO 22369-1:2006 - Crop Protection Equipment - Drift Classification of Spraying Equipment - Part 1: Classes establishes a standardized system for classifying the drift reduction performance of agricultural spraying equipment. Developed by ISO Technical Committee 23/SC 6, this standard provides a consistent framework to assess how effectively different sprayers and spray parts minimize pesticide drift. The goal is to promote responsible pesticide application, protect sensitive ecosystems, and support regulatory compliance in diverse agricultural settings, including arable field crops, bush and tree crops, horticulture, and forestry.
Key Topics
- Drift Reduction Classification: Defines a classification system (classes A-F) for evaluating and comparing the efficiency of spraying equipment in reducing spray drift compared to a reference spray system.
- Performance Measurement: Outlines the basis for assessing drift reduction through quantitative comparison of drift deposition or collection at various distances from the spraying target area.
- Applicability: Covers a wide range of crop protection equipment types, ensuring relevancy for many agricultural, horticultural, and forestry operations.
- Harmonized Procedures: Promotes adoption of uniform testing and classification procedures, supporting informed decision-making by farmers, equipment manufacturers, regulators, and other stakeholders.
Applications
Implementing ISO 22369-1:2006 delivers significant practical benefits for agricultural professionals and industry suppliers:
- Supporting Regulatory Compliance: Helps meet buffer zone and minimum spray distance requirements by enabling the selection of equipment with certified drift reduction performance.
- Enabling Best Practice: Assists operators and agronomists in adopting best practice for pesticide application, optimizing equipment selection for environmental protection.
- Facilitating Equipment Comparison: Provides a transparent and objective method to compare the drift reduction capability of different sprayers and sprayer parts, enhancing procurement, product development, and marketing.
- Reducing Environmental Impact: Minimizes the risk of off-target pesticide contamination to non-crop areas, sensitive habitats, and water sources, aligning with integrated pest management and sustainable agriculture principles.
- Supporting Research and Development: Offers a foundation for ongoing R&D into improved nozzle designs, sprayer technologies, and drift reduction accessories.
Related Standards
ISO 22369-1:2006 is part of a broader family of standards focused on crop protection equipment. Key related standards include:
- ISO 22369-2 (in development): Will cover wind tunnel testing for spray drift reduction, complementing the classification system of Part 1.
- ISO 5682 (various parts): Addresses general test methods for agricultural sprayers.
- ISO 16119 series: Specifies environmental requirements and testing for different types of crop protection equipment.
- ISO 10625: Specifies requirements for sprayer nozzles.
These related ISO standards work in synergy to advance the safety, efficacy, and sustainability of crop protection practices worldwide.
Adopting ISO 22369-1:2006 ensures a standardized, science-based approach to evaluating and classifying crop protection equipment for spray drift reduction, supporting safe agricultural production and environmental stewardship. For organizations involved in agriculture, horticulture, equipment manufacturing, and regulatory oversight, this standard provides key guidance for technology selection, compliance, and best practice.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Avant-propos
L'ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d'organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l'ISO). L'élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée
aux comités techniques de l'ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du
comité technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non
gouvernementales, en liaison avec l'ISO participent également aux travaux. L'ISO collabore étroitement avec
la Commission électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI,
Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d'élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur
publication comme Normes internationales requiert l'approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres
votants.
