SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
5.1 Pesticide regulations for the minimization of drift during pesticide application often require active ingredient (a.i.) product use under defined droplet size conditions. Spray performance with respect to transport and deposition of droplets and particles at target surfaces and product efficacy for desired applications are also affected by droplet size spectra. The effect of drift reduction adjuvants on droplet size spectra should be understood in this context. The present test method describes standard tests that can be conducted to investigate the performance of pesticide spray drift reduction adjuvants under simulated field use conditions for drift management decisions in the context of the entire spraying process. The measured reduction in driftable fines and shift in spray droplet size distribution can be used to reduce the buffer zones mandated by regulatory agencies.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method is used to characterize the performance of pesticide spray drift reduction adjuvants with respect to spray droplet size spectra, volume of fines, and other use parameters under simulated field ground application conditions. This test method does not include any procedures to evaluate if pump shear degrades the performance of the spray drift reduction adjuvant.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
Note 1: This method uses industry-standard units. The following conversions to SI units are provided for convenience: 1 mph = 1.61 kph; 1 in = 2.54 cm; 1 gal/acre = 9.36 L/hectare.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Concern over the toxic effects observed in tests on animals has demonstrated the need to assess hazards of many new, and some presently used, materials. The process described herein will help producers, regulatory agencies, and others to compare alternative materials efficiently and adequately, completely assess a final candidate material, or reassess the health hazard of a material already in use. The process is not intended for pesticide registration; this guide provides techniques for health hazard assessment.
Sequential assessment and feedback allow appropriate judgments concerning the efficient use of resources, thereby minimizing unnecessary testing and focusing effort on the information most pertinent to each material. For different materials and situations, hazard assessment will appropriately be based on substantially different amounts and kinds of biological, chemical, physical, and toxicological data.
Assessment of the health hazard of a material should never be considered complete for all time. Reassessment should be considered if new uses are discovered, the nature of the exposure changes, or new information on biological, chemical, physical, or toxicological properties becomes available.
Periodic review will help ensure that new information receives prompt and appropriate attention.
If a pesticide is transformed substantially into another chemical entity in the environment, the hazard of the transformed material(s) may need to be assessed.
SCOPE
1.1 This guide covers a stepwise process for using information concerning biological, chemical, physical, and toxicological properties of a pesticide or other chemical(s), or of a formulation to identify adverse effects that may occur to pesticide applicators or others with potential exposure.
1.2 The health hazard assessment process is complex and requires decisions at a number of points; thus, the validity of the assessment depends on the soundness of those decisions, as well as the soundness of the information used. All decisions should be based on carefully documented analyses so that an appropriate assessment can be completed, at the least cost, which is consistent with scientific validity.
1.3 This guide assumes that the reader is knowledgeable in animal toxicology and related pertinent areas, and relies heavily on the judgment of the evaluator, particularly in the area of chronic hazards.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
