ISO 8224-1:2002规定了移动式灌溉机的操作特性、实验室和现场试验方法。它包括面向用户的技术信息，以在制造商随附的产品文献中展示，实验室试验程序，用于评估在规定条件范围内运行的机器在灌溉带上的用水均匀性，以及确定驱动机构在规定操作条件下能够实现的最大移动速率，以及现场试验程序，用于在试验时现场普遍存在的当地条件下，确定给定灌溉带上的用水均匀性。 它仅适用于移动式灌溉机类型，不适用于其他类型，如中心枢轴或侧向灌溉机。

ISO 8224-1:2002 specifies the operational characteristics of, and laboratory and field test methods for, traveller irrigation machines. It includes user-oriented technical information for presentation in the manufacturer's accompanying product literature, laboratory test procedures for evaluating the uniformity of water application on an irrigated strip by a machine operating within a specified range of conditions and for determining the maximum travelling rates the drive mechanism is able to achieve in response to specified operating conditions, and field test procedures for determining the uniformity of water application on a given irrigated strip under local conditions prevailing in the field at time of testing. It is applicable only to traveller irrigation machine types, and not to other types such as centre-pivot or lateral irrigation machines.
