Iso 22368 consists of the following parts, under the general title Crop protection equipment - Test methods for the evaluation of cleaning systems: Part 1: Internal cleaning of complete sprayers Part 2: External cleaning of sprayers Part 3: Internal cleaning of tank @ IS0 2004 - All rights reserved ISO 22368-1:2004(E) Introduction The cleaning of sprayers used in crop protection is becoming increasingly important, especially for the following reasons toavoidcontaminationoftheenvironmentandtheoperator because of the possibility of accidental release of agrochemicals that could cause crop damage, raise residue fears or lead to the mixing of incompatible crop protection products. Moreover, it is likely that the relevant sections of the industry are in need of guidance in developing cleaning systems, so that the state of the art and a basis for future specifications can be evaluated. IsO 22368-1 and IsO 22368-2 specify test methods related to the internal and external cleaning of sprayers. offering the user the means to evaluate the general performance of both inside and outside cleaning systems and a possible basis for defining performance specifications in the future.
