Hydraulic Power Sprayers are widely used in agriculture, horticulture and plantations. They are also used for pest control as the sprayers are efficient in spraying of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and liquid fertilizers. These machines are designed to deliver spraying solutions at controlled pressure levels. This ensure uniform coverage and effective crop protection.
For quality and reliable operation, Hydraulic Power Sprayers should follow the standard requirement as mentioned in IS 11313:2007. The standard includes requirements regarding construction, performance, discharge capacity, pressure control, durability and overall efficiency of the sprayers. Adherence to these specifications helps ensure the sprayers work great in actual field conditions too.
What is IS 11313:2007 for Hydraulic Power Sprayers
This is the Indian Standard for hydraulic power sprayers used in agricultural applications such as crop protection and pesticide spraying. It ensures performance, efficiency and durability under field conditions. As per BIS, these sprayers are:
- Tested for pressure output
- Assessed for pump efficiency
- Evaluated for leakage resistance
- Checked for operational performance
Who Must Comply with Hydraulic Power Sprayer Standards
BIS certification under IS 11313:2007 is required for businesses involved in manufacturing, importing, or supplying Hydraulic Power Sprayers in India.
Applicable to:
- Manufacturers (India) - Must get BIS approval if the power sprayers are covered under QCO.
- Foreign Manufacturers - Must obtain BIS certification before exporting hydraulic power sprayers to India and comply with Scheme-I requirements.
- Importers/Brand Owners - Must ensure that the products are BIS-certified before sale.
- Sellers/Distributors - Should deal only in BIS-certified hydraulic power sprayers.
BIS Testing Requirements under IS 11313:2007
To ensure efficient agricultural spraying performance, the Bureau of Indian Standards defines quality and operational requirements for hydraulic power sprayers under IS 11313:2007. This certification ensures consistent spray output, mechanical durability, and reliable field performance for agricultural applications.
The BIS testing parameters and quality checks for the hydraulic power sprayers are listed below:
How to Get BIS License for Hydraulic Power Sprayers in India
The BIS Certification process for Hydraulic Power Sprayers (IS 11313:2007) ensures that the equipment meets the required performance, safety, and quality standards for reliable operation in agricultural and industrial applications. This process is governed by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and includes the following steps:
- Online Registration: Manufacturers register on the BIS Manak portal by submitting company, factory, and product details. Foreign manufacturers must appoint an Authorized Indian Representative (AIR).
- Testing at BIS-Approved Laboratory: Product samples are tested in BIS-approved laboratories for key parameters such as discharge rate, suction capacity, volumetric efficiency, pressure handling capability, power requirement and endurance performance.
- Application Submission: The application is submitted along with test reports, technical documents, and factory details. Foreign manufacturers must also submit AIR-related documents.
- Factory Inspection: BIS officials conduct an on-site inspection of the manufacturing facility to evaluate production processes, quality control systems, testing infrastructure and compliance with IS 11313:2007.
- Grant of BIS License: Once all requirements are successfully fulfilled, BIS grants the certification license under Scheme-I.
- Use of ISI Mark: After approval, the manufacturer is authorized to use the ISI Mark on the product along with a valid CM/L number, confirming that the product meets BIS standards.
