ISO/TC 23/SC 6/WG 20 - Aerial sprayers

This document specifies requirements and the means for their verification for the design and performance of aerial fixed wing and rotary aircraft spray systems for agriculture, forestry, turf, and vegetation control in transport access ways (such as gas and electric lines) with regard to minimizing the potential risk of environmental contamination during use, including misuse foreseeable by the manufacturer. It is intended to be used with ISO 16119-1:2013, which gives general requirements common to all the sprayer types covered by ISO 16119. When requirements of this document are different from those stated in ISO 16119-1:2013, the requirements of this document take precedence over the requirements of ISO 16119-1:2013 for machines within the scope of this document. This document does cover safety of aerial spray equipment not covered by ISO 4254 series. This document is not applicable to sprayers manufactured before the date of its publication, or unmanned aerial vehicles (such as drones).

This document specifies the requirements, test methods and verification of the inspection of aerial fixed wing and rotary aircraft spray systems for agriculture, forestry, turf, and vegetation control in transport access ways (such as gas and electric lines), with regard to minimizing the potential risk of environmental contamination during use. This document applies only to manned aerial aircraft. It does not cover aircraft safety and design criteria for air worthiness, aircraft registration, pilot or operator requirements, all of which are specified separately by countries or regions. This document relates mainly to the condition of the equipment with respect to its potential risk for the environment and its performance to achieve good applications. The general requirements of ISO 16122-1 apply where appropriate, including for the protection of inspectors during an inspection.
