Introduction
This document has been developed to provide guidance for a consistent approach to justify the claims
associated with the use of plant biostimulants in agriculture.
The definition of plant biostimulants to be used in the regulation on fertilizing materials is
claims-based. For this reason, demonstrating that a product is indeed a bona fide plant biostimulant
depends on a demonstration of its effect.
The placing of a plant biostimulant on the market should not be considered to guarantee effectiveness
under all conditions, as many factors may influence the performance of a plant biostimulant in the field.
Plant biostimulants used in agriculture can be applied in multiple ways: on soil, on plant, as seed
treatment, etc. This document is applicable to all application types of plant biostimulants in agriculture.
1 Scope
This document provides guidance for justifying abiotic stress tolerance claim of plant biostimulants used
in agriculture.
This document is aimed primarily at manufacturers, laboratories, companies which will put the products
on the market, notifying authorities, notified bodies, and market surveillance authorities.

The type of claim(s) included in the Technical Specification can be addressed to one or more of the above
defined abiotic stress(es) – see 3.3 to 3.7.
For instance, a plant biostimulant can improve plant tolerance to a single abiotic stress factor such as
heat stress or to multiple abiotic stress factors such as heat stress and salt stress in one or more target
crop(s).
Label shall clearly indicate that the plant biostimulant is addressed to improve tolerance to abiotic stress
with a clear indication of the type of abiotic stress(es) and the crop(s) on which the effect is demonstrated
according to CEN/TS 17700-1.

Die Norm CEN/TS 17700-3:2022 bietet eine umfassende und detaillierte Anleitung zur Rechtfertigung von Ansprüchen bezüglich der Toleranz gegenüber abiotischem Stress, die durch den Einsatz von Pflanzenbiostimulanzien in der Landwirtschaft erreicht werden. Der Geltungsbereich dieser Norm ist besonders wichtig, da er sich an Hersteller, Labore, Unternehmen, die Produkte auf den Markt bringen, benannte Behörden sowie Marktüberwachungsbehörden richtet. Ein herausragendes Merkmal dieser Norm ist ihre Fähigkeit, klare Richtlinien zu schaffen, die es den Akteuren der Branche ermöglichen, die Wirkung von Pflanzenbiostimulanzien auf die Toleranz gegenüber abiotischem Stress fundiert zu belegen. Dadurch wird nicht nur die Transparenz in der Produktkennzeichnung erhöht, sondern auch das Vertrauen der Verbraucher in diese Produkte gestärkt. Die Norm hat sich als relevant erwiesen, insbesondere in Zeiten des Klimawandels, in denen die Landwirtschaft zunehmend mit extremen Wetterbedingungen und abiotischem Stress konfrontiert ist. Die Verwendung von Pflanzenbiostimulanzien kann entscheidend sein, um die Resilienz von Pflanzen zu erhöhen. Indem die Norm klare Standards setzt, fördert sie eine verantwortungsvolle Forschung und Entwicklung in diesem Bereich, was letztlich zu einer nachhaltigen Landwirtschaft beiträgt. Darüber hinaus erhalten Marktüberwachungsbehörden durch diese Norm ein wertvolles Instrument, um die Konformität der Produkte zu überprüfen und sicherzustellen, dass nur solche Pflanzenbiostimulanzien, die tatsächlich die genannten Ansprüche erfüllen, auf dem Markt angeboten werden. Dies schützt nicht nur die landwirtschaftlichen Erzeuger, sondern auch die umweltbewussten Verbraucher. Insgesamt trägt CEN/TS 17700-3:2022 dazu bei, die Integrität und Glaubwürdigkeit von Ansprüchen zu stärken, die im Zusammenhang mit der Toleranz gegenüber abiotischen Stressoren durch Pflanzenbiostimulanzien stehen, und ist somit ein unverzichtbares Dokument für alle relevanten Akteure in der Landwirtschaft.
