Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 5681 : 2020 ‘Equipment for crop protection - Vocabulary’ issued by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Agriculture Machinery and Equipment Sectional Committee and approval of the Food and Agriculture Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1977 and subsequently revised in 1996 to incorporate various new terms of crop protection equipment and their components based on ISO 5681: 1992. The second revision of this standard has been undertaken to harmonize it with ISO 5681: 2020 and is an identical adoption of the ISO standard under dual numbering.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
