Division [9A350] Spraying or fogging systems, specially designed or modified for fitting to aircraft, "lighter-than-air vehicles" or “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” (“UAVs”), and specially designed components therefor, as follows:F1F2

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

  1. a..

    Complete spraying or fogging systems capable of delivering, from a liquid suspension, an initial droplet ‘VMD’ of less than 50 μm at a flow rate of greater than two litres per minute;

  2. b..

    Spray booms or arrays of aerosol generating units capable of delivering, from a liquid suspension, an initial droplet ‘VMD’ of less than 50 μm at a flow rate of greater than two litres per minute;

  3. c..

    Aerosol generating units specially designed for fitting to systems specified in 9A350.a. and.b.

    Note:

    Aerosol generating units are devices specially designed or modified for fitting to aircraft such as nozzles, rotary drum atomizers and similar devices.

Note:

9A350 does not control spraying or fogging systems and components that are demonstrated not to be capable of delivering biological agents in the form of infectious aerosols.

Technical Notes:

1.

Droplet size for spray equipment or nozzles specially designed for use on aircraft, "lighter-than-air vehicles" or unmanned aerial vehicles should be measured using either of the following:

  1. a..

    Doppler laser method;

  2. b..

    Forward laser diffraction method.

2.

In 9A350 ‘VMD’ means Volume Median Diameter and for water-based systems this equates to Mass Median Diameter (MMD).
