The method is applicable to all fertilizers containing IDHA as chelating agent for contents > 0,5 % (g/100 g). 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

EN ISO 3696:1995, Water for analytical laboratory use — Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 12944-1:1999 and EN 12944-2:1999 apply. 4 Principle IDHA is extracted with water, and measured and detected by reversed phase HPLC using UV detection at 260 nm after total conversion of the chelating agent into its iron-(III)-chelate by adding an excess of a solution of iron-(III)-nitrate (details see Clause 8 and the following). In the HPLC-chromatogram IDHA is represented by two dominant peaks, the first one representing the R,S-isomer (50 %), and the second one representing the R,R- as well as the S,S-isomer (each 25 %). 5 Interferences Other chelating agents such as DTPA, o,o-EDDHA or o,p-EDDHA do not interfere the determination of IDHA. EDTA may interfere with the determination of IDHA with some equipment, especially with certain columns in the HPLC-equipment (see Table A.2). 6 Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade. 6.1 Water, distilled or demineralized (grade 1 according to EN ISO 3696:1995). 6.2 Tetra-n-butylammonium hydrogen sulfate (C16H37NO4S), for ion pair chromatography.

Adjust 0,1 mol/l boron as boric/borate buffer at pH = 8,0 with hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. NOTE Commercial buffers may be used. The buffer solution should not contain any phosphate or chelating agents like EDTA or others. 6.9 Eluent solution. In a 1 l volumetric flask dissolve 2,5 g tetra-n-butylammonium hydrogen sulfate (6.2) (= 7,36 mmol), 1,7 ml tetra-n-butylammonium hydroxide (6.3) and 0,04 ml nitric acid (6.5) in water and make up to volume. The pH of this solution is approximately 2,5. In the case that tetra-n-butylammonium bromide or -chloride is used instead of tetra-n-butylammonium hydrogen sulfate, weigh 2,37 g or 2,05 g respectively and adjust pH to approximately 2,5 with additional nitric acid (6.5). 6.10 Derivatisation reagent. In a 100 ml volumetric flask dissolve 4,4 g tetra-n-butylammonium hydrogen sulfate (6.2) (= 12,95 mmol) and 1,5 g iron(III)nitrate nonahydrate (6.4) in water and make up to volume. The pH of this solution is approximately 1,5. In the case that tetra-n-butylammonium bromide or -chloride is used instead of tetra-n-butylammonium hydrogen sulfate, weigh 4,17 g or 3,60 g respectively and adjust pH to approximately 1,5 with additional nitric acid (6.5). 7 Apparatus Laboratory equipment and glassware for preparation of solutions and dilutions. 7.1 Analytical balance, capable of weighing to an accuracy of ± 0,1 mg. 7.2 pH-meter with electro
