2 Doc No: CMD-III/12232(Part 1)/1 Manual Date of Issue: MANUAL FOR CERTIFICATION OF IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT- ROTATING SPRINKLER AS PER IS 12232(PART 1) (FIRST ISSUE) BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS MANAK BHAWAN, 9, BAHADUR SHAH ZAFAR MARG, NEW DELHI

3 FOREWORD The product certification scheme of the Bureau of Indian Standards, now under Bureau of Indian standards Act 1986, is in operation for more than four decades covering a wide variety of products. The wide experience in the area has brought a fair amount of rationalization in the certification process. This has resulted in the formulation of the Operation Manual for Product Certification (referred to as OMPC in this manual) prescribing rules and practices generally applicable to all products. Product related rules/guide lines are periodically issued to cover the specific requirements of different products. Still, in view of the wide spread of the certification operations, differences are found in the application of these guidelines in the BIS certification offices in different parts of the country. Therefore, it has been decided to bring out Sectoral manuals as guideline documents covering certification requirements of specific products/group of products. This Manual, one in the series, has been prepared to ensure uniformity in the certification practices in respect of IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT- ROTARY SPRINKLER covered by IS (Part 1). This manual is strictly an internal document intended for use by the certification marks officers of BIS. In this manual, some useful information relating to the product characteristics, a few design aspects, limitations and constraints in its use, which is considered useful to the user, are included in a brief manner. This manual takes into consideration the generally acceptable practices
