Biobeds Design Manual and Site Checklist
|
|
Biobed treatment systems help reduce the chemical washed from sprayer loading areas & lost into the environment. This document will help select the most appropriate type of biobed and will assist in the preparation of the specification, construction and use for such an area, guiding the user on management principles for efficient operation of the area and final disposal of any discharge. A checklist for potential sites is also included. CPA and AIC as part of the VI, 2005.

Fertiliser Industry Assurance Scheme (FIAS) Standards (2016)
|
|
FIAS covers the assurance of all fertilisers intended for agriculture, horticulture, forestry, amenity and any other such commercial use. It does not apply to fertilisers packaged for home garden use. The issues and the risks vary according to the type of fertiliser and it is for this reason that the entire scheme has adopted a “Risk Assessment” approach to achieving the necessary level of assurance.
