This document specifies the test method and procedure to evaluate the algal bloom removal rate using microbubbles in on-site microbubble-based algal-bloom removal facilities. The evaluation of the removal rate is conducted by comparing chlorophyll-a concentration before and after treatment using microbubbles. The range of water and weather conditions are served for test because they influence the characteristics of microbubbles and the algal bloom removal rate.

This document does not specify requirements for the analogue output of PDDB, if any.
This document does not deal with any specific requirements on acoustic noise as the noise emission of proximity devices is not considered to be a relevant hazard.
A PDDB product is intended to be used as sensing subsystem of a safety related control system according to IEC 62061 or ISO 13849-1.

Even if security, including IT security, may be useful from an operational point of view, it falls outside the scope of this document.
An activation of the means to terminate the flight by a visual observer is also outside the scope of this document.
This document provides voluntary means of demonstrating compliance with the requirements laid out in Regulation (EU) 2019/945.
Additional hazards that occur from the characteristics of the payload are excluded and are, conversely, under the responsibility of the UAS manufacturer and UAS operator.
