Overview

CEN/TS 17772:2022 - Organic and organo-mineral fertilizers - Determination of specific parameters - is a CEN Technical Specification that defines the reference methods for measuring two core quality indicators of organic and organo‑mineral fertilizers: total organic carbon (TOC) and dry matter content. The document is intended to support compliance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 and applies to products classified as PFC 1(A) and PFC 1(B), including those components in PFC 7.

This Technical Specification was approved by CEN in 2022 for provisional application (initial validity three years) and was prepared by CEN/TC 260 (Fertilizers and liming materials).

Key Topics and Requirements

  • Scope: Specifies normative references to standardized test methods for TOC and dry matter determination for organic and organo‑mineral fertilizers.
  • Total Organic Carbon (TOC): Measurement must follow CEN/TS 17776:2022, which references TOC determination (title indicates dry combustion method).
  • Dry Matter Content: Measurement must follow CEN/TS 17773:2022.
  • Sampling and sample preparation: Sampling is required to follow the principles in EN 1482 (all parts) with adaptations for organic and organo‑mineral fertilizers.
  • Terminology: Uses terms from EN 12944-1:1999 and EN 12944-2:1999 for consistency.
  • Regulatory linkage: Methods are defined specifically to measure compliance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 (fertilizing products).

Applications and Who Should Use It

CEN/TS 17772:2022 is practical for:

  • Fertilizer manufacturers - for product development, internal quality control and ensuring compliance with EU fertilizer regulations.
  • Analytical laboratories - to apply the referenced standardized methods for TOC and dry matter testing.
  • Certification bodies and notified bodies - for conformity assessment and issuing declarations of conformity under Regulation (EU) 2019/1009.
  • Regulatory authorities and market surveillance - to verify compliance and enforce labeling/quality requirements.
  • Agronomy and R&D teams - for product characterization and formulation of organics-based fertilizer products.

Practical uses include batch testing, stability assessment, formulation control, labeling accuracy, and demonstrating regulatory compliance for market access in the EU.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 13 March 2022 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
