ISO 10625-2018 PDF

Full title and description

Equipment for crop protection — Sprayer nozzles — Colour coding for identification (ISO 10625:2018). This International Standard specifies a colour‑coding system for flow‑rate identification of hydraulic spray nozzles (flat and cone types) used in agricultural sprayers and is available as a PDF from ISO and national standards bodies.

Abstract

This document defines the colour coding used to identify nozzle flow rates so that small nozzle parts can be quickly and unambiguously recognised during manufacture, servicing and use. It applies to hydraulic energy nozzles (flat and cone nozzles) used for application of crop protection products and is not applicable to adjustable nozzles.

Scope

Specifies the system of colour coding for flow‑rate identification of nozzles used on sprayers. Applicable to hydraulic energy nozzles such as flat and cone nozzles used for crop protection product application; not applicable to adjustable nozzles. The standard is intended to avoid confusion by allowing flow recognition on small parts under normal conditions of use.

Key topics and requirements

• Defined colour‑coding system mapping colours to flow‑rate identification for spray nozzles.
• Application limited to hydraulic (fixed‑geometry) flat and cone nozzles used in crop protection.
• Design intent: clear identification on small parts to reduce selection errors during installation, maintenance and operation.
• Not applicable to adjustable nozzles or nozzle systems where multiple components influence flow rate.

Typical use and users

Used by nozzle and agricultural‑machinery manufacturers, sprayer OEMs, distributors, service and maintenance personnel, testing and certification bodies, and regulatory or procurement teams that require standardised identification of nozzle flow rates for safety, traceability and field use.

Related standards

Supersedes ISO 10625:2005 (previous edition). Related agricultural machinery and sprayer safety standards include ISO 4254‑6 (Safety — Sprayers and liquid fertilizer distributors) and other ISO/TC 23/SC 6 publications addressing sprayer design and safety.
