Plant biostimulants - Sampling and sample preparation - Part 2: Sample preparation
This document specifies methods for the reduction and preparation of samples of non-microbial plant biostimulants and sets out the requirements for sample preparation reports. It specifies methods for the preparation of test samples and test portions from laboratory samples of plant biostimulants for subsequent chemical, biological or physical analysis.
This document is applicable to the blends of fertilizing products where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following component EU fertilizing products: Fertilizers/Liming Materials/Soil Improvers/Growing Media/Inhibitors/Plant Biostimulants, and where the following category Plant Biostimulants is the highest percentage in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If Plant Biostimulants is not the highest percentage in the blend, the European Standard for the highest percentage of the blend applies. In case a blend of fertilizing products is composed of components in equal quantity or in case the component EU fertilising products used for the blend have identical formulations1, the user decides which standard to apply.
NOTE An example of such a blend is a product with two claimed functions consisting of a non-microbial plant biostimulant and an organic fertiliser composed of 1kg/kg of plant biostimulant from seaweed.
This document does not include methods for the reduction and preparation of samples of microbial plant biostimulants and samples intended for determination of microbial pathogens, which will be covered by a different European Standard.

biostimulants”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede CEN/TS 17702-2:2022.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
The EN 17702 series, Plant biostimulants — Sampling and sample preparation, consists of the following
parts:
— Part 1: Sampling;
— Part 2: Sample preparation.

Introduction
This document was prepared by the experts of CEN/TC 455 “Plant biostimulants”. The European
Committee for Standardization (CEN) was requested by the European Commission (EC) to draft
European standards or European standardization deliverables to support the implementation of
Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 of 5 June 2019 laying down rules on the making available on the market of
EU fertilizing products (“FPR” or “Fertilizing Products Regulation”).
This standardization request, presented as M/564 and M/564 Amd1, also contributes to the
Communication on “Innovating for Sustainable Growth: A Bio economy for Europe”. The Working Group
1 “Sampling” was created to develop a work programme as part of this request. The technical committee
CEN/TC 455 “Plant biostimulants” was established to carry out the work programme that will prepare a
series of standards. The interest in plant biostimulants has increased significantly in Europe as a valuable
tool to use in agriculture. Standardization was identified as having an important role in order to promote
the use of biostimulants. The work of CEN/TC 455 seeks to improve the reliability of the supply chain,
thereby boosting the confidence of farmers, industry, and consumers in plant biostimulants, and will
promote and support commercialisation of the European biostimulant industry.
This document covers the following aspects of sample preparation, derived from EN 1482-2:2007. This
document is presented in a form adapted to the specificity of plant biostimulants. The title of the standard
is given in the Bibliography.
This document is addressed mainly to official laboratories which intend to perform analysis for quality
and safety control of non-microbial plant biostimulants. The laboratories will have a reference document
on how to properly prepare sample for analysis.
Figure 1 gives a schematic diagram of the sampling and sample preparation process.

1 Scope
This document specifies methods for the reduction and preparation of samples of non-microbial plant
biostimulants including those intended for determination of microbial pathogens and sets out the
requirements for sample preparation reports. It specifies methods for the preparation of test samples
and test portions from laboratory samples of plant biostimulants for subsequent chemical, biological or
physical analysis.
It is also applicable to the sample preparation of blends of fertilizing products where plant biostimulants
are main part of the blend. Otherwise, deliverables of sample preparation relevant for the main part of
the blend apply.
This document does not include methods for the reduction and preparation of samples of microbial plant
biostimulants, which will be covered by a different European Standard.
NOTE This document is applicable to the category of EU fertilizing product (plant biostimulants) in the
meaning of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009.

, 5.2, or riffle divider, conforming to the requirements specified in EN 17702-1:— , 5.3.
5.3 Sample grinder, capable of taking the whole sample at one pass and, preferably, totally enclosed.
It shall have a screen, or other mechanism without a screen, which allows the ground material to pass
through the machine into a collecting vessel and away from the cutters or grinding discs, to avoid
overgrinding. In the case of a grinder with screens, the fineness of grind can be adjusted by the fitting of
different mesh screens. Grinding shall continue until as much as possible of the plant biostimulants has
passed through the machine.
NOTE If the grinder is of the open type, the moisture content of the plant biostimulants can change significantly
during grinding.
Any machine used for grinding samples as required by this document shall be checked for satisfactory
performance. Points to be checked are:
a) the fineness of grinding achieved;
b) the temperature rise of the material being ground (see 6.4);
c) non-contamination of the sample.
5.4 Mortar and pestle, of suitable material and size.
5.5 Test sieves, conforming to ISO 3310-1, of nominal aperture sizes 1,0 mm,500 µm and 180 µm.
In cases where national regulations or the nature of the material require sieves of different aperture sizes,
these may be used, but the fact should be noted in the sample preparation report.
