Term: 2018-01-01 bis 2029-12-31Measuring free-floating dust from treated seeds by the Heubach test method
The Heubach test method was established in 2008 to measure free-floating dust from treated seeds. In this test, treated seeds are mechanically stressed over a defined time period to measure the proportion of free floating dust in the seed lot. With...
Term: 2018-01-01 bis 2029-12-31Inspection of seed treatment facilities that meet the quality criteria which ensure that the release of dust is reduced to a minimum level
The use ordinance NT6991 issued by the BVL (Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety) indicates plant protection products which can only be applied in seed treatment facilities listed by the JKI. The best technique available has to be...
Term: 2018-01-01 bis 2029-12-31Elaboration and evaluation of alternative concentration measurement for agitation and cleaning tests
The standard test agent used in the cleaning or agitation test may no longer be commercially available in the mid term and exhibits strong batch-dependent fluctuations in its physical properties. In order to ensure the comparability of test results,...
Term: 2014-01-01 bis 2029-12-31Development and harmonisation of the inspection of sprayers in use on a European Ievei (SPISE)
Harmonisation of the rules for the inspection of sprayers in use according to EU-wide commonly agreed technical requirements in order to fulfill mutual recognition of inspected and indicated plant protection equipment. Legal basis for these actions...
