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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

ISO 17962:2015(E)
Introduction
This International Standard has been developed to consider potential methods of minimizing the effects
of seed coating dust drift when mixed in the exhaust fan air flow. This dust has the potential to become
fugitive during the sowing process on equipment with pneumatic systems.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 17962:2015(E)
Agricultural machinery — Equipment for sowing —
Minimization of the environmental effects of fan exhaust
from pneumatic systems
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies various means of minimizing the environmental effects of fan
exhaust from pneumatic systems for vacuum-style sowing agricultural field equipment used for sowing
coated seeds.
It is applicable to vacuum-style sowing systems where “dust off” (fugitive) material from seed coatings
can mix with fan (blower) intake air and be exhausted into the atmosphere.
This International Standard is not applicable to
— conveyance systems between a central tank and remote meters where the air is exhausted at the
remote meters, and
— conveyance systems where the meter is at a central tank and the air is exhausted at a ground
engaging opening device.
The design principles in this International Standard are not applicable to pneumatic equipment for
sowing which was manufactured before the date of its publication.
NOTE National or local requirements can apply which could be more stringent.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
direct drift
quantity of plant protection product that is carried out of and deposited within specified distance of the
sowed area by the action of air currents during the sowing process
2.2
fan exhaust zone
cylindrical shape (static) that defines the boundaries of the fan exhaust of a pneumatic system
2.3
vacuum-style sowing system
pneumatic system where negative air pressure is used to meter seeds on equipment for sowing
2.4
zero position
distance from the sowing are
