Fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors - Sampling and sample preparation - Part 3: Sampling of static heaps
This document is applicable to the sampling of the following solid inorganic fertilizers and liming materials supplied or ready for supply, and stored in static heaps:
- Single nutrient fertilizers,
- Uniform complex fertilizers,
- Milled, granulated or dredged liming materials,
- Any other materials deemed suitable for sampling by the method described in this part of the standard,
for the purpose of testing for compliance with legal requirements and other descriptions and declarations.
NOTE 1 The term “fertilizer” is used throughout the body of this document and includes liming materials and inhibitors unless otherwise indicated.
NOTE 2 Manufacturers, importers and sellers might choose to use this method to obtain samples of other products or blends as well as long as both parties to a transaction agree. The build-up of a static heap often leads to granulometric segregation, which makes the collection of a truly representative sample unlikely.
NOTE 3 It is the responsibility of manufacturers, importers and sellers, however, to ensure they supply a product that complies with its label declaration at the moment of delivery and fulfils the expectations of the end user at the moment of application.
Düngemittel, Kalkdünger und Inhibitoren - Probenahme und Probenvorbereitung - Teil 3: Probenahme aus statischen Haufwerken
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für die Probenahme der folgenden festen anorganischen Düngemittel und Kalkdünger, die bereits geliefert wurden oder lieferbereit sind und in statischen Haufwerken gelagert werden:
- Einnährstoffdünger;
- homogene Mehrnährstoffdünger;
- gemahlene, granulierte oder durch Entschlammung gewonnene Kalkdünger;
- alle anderen Materialien, die für eine Probenahme nach der in diesem Teil der Norm beschriebenen Methode geeignet sind;
zum Zweck der Prüfung der Übereinstimmung mit den gesetzlichen Vorschriften und anderen Beschreibungen und Erklärungen.
ANMERKUNG 1 Der Begriff „Düngemittel“ ist durchgängig in diesem Dokument verwendet worden und schließt, wenn nicht anders angegeben, mineralische Düngemittel, Kalkdünger und Hemmstoffe ein.
ANMERKUNG 2 Hersteller, Importeure und Verkäufer könnten diese Methode auch nutzen, um Proben von anderen Produkten oder Mischungen zu erhalten, sofern beide Transaktionsparteien zustimmen. Der Aufbau eines statischen Haufwerks führt oftmals zu einer granulometrischen Trennung, was die Erhebung einer wirklich repräsentativen Probe unwahrscheinlich macht.
ANMERKUNG 3 Es liegt jedoch in der Verantwortung der Hersteller, Importeure und Verkäufer sicherzustellen, dass sie ein Produkt bereitstellen, das zum Zeitpunkt der Lieferung mit den Angaben auf dem Etikett übereinstimmt, und die Erwartungen des Endnutzers zum Zeitpunkt der Anwendung erfüllt.
Engrais, amendements minéraux basiques et inhibiteurs - Echantillonnage et préparation de l’échantillon - Partie 3 : Echantillonnage des tas statistiques
Le présent document s’applique à l’échantillonnage des engrais inorganiques solides et des amendements minéraux basiques suivants livrés ou prêts à être livrés et stockés en tas statistiques :
- Engrais contenant un seul élément nutritif,
- Engrais complexes uniformes,
- Amendements minéraux basiques broyés, granulés ou dragués,
- Tout autre matériau jugé approprié pour l'échantillonnage selon la méthode décrite dans la présente partie de la norme,
dans le but de tester la conformité aux exigences légales et autres descriptions et déclarations.
NOTE 1 Le terme « engrais » est utilisé tout au long de ce document et inclut les amendements minéraux basiques et les inhibiteurs, sauf indication contraire.
NOTE 2 Les fabricants, les importateurs et les vendeurs peuvent choisir d'utiliser cette méthode pour obtenir des échantillons d'autres produits ou mélanges à condition que les deux parties à la transaction soient d'accord. L'accumulation d'un tas statique conduit souvent à une ségrégation granulométrique, ce qui rend peu probable la collecte d'un échantillon vraiment représentatif.
NOTE 3 Il est toutefois de la responsabilité des fabricants, importateurs et vendeurs de s'assurer qu'ils fournissent un produit qui est conforme à sa déclaration figurant sur l'étiquette au moment de la livraison et qui répond aux attentes de l'utilisateur final au moment de l'application.

European foreword
This document (prEN 1482-3:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 260
“Fertilizers and liming materials”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1482-3:2016.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— Title, Introduction, Scope, Normative References, Terms and definitions have been updated.
EN 1482 “Fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors — Sampling and sample preparation” consists of
four parts:
— Part 1: General sampling provisions;
— Part 2: General sample preparation provisions;
— Part 3: Sampling of static heaps;
— Part 4: Sampling for microbiological presence in fertilizers.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association.
Introduction
In response to the mandate, sampling methods to sample static heaps have been developed and
standardized as specified in this document.
Standardized methods of sampling and analysis are essential in uniformly establishing the compliance
of fertilizing products with legal requirements, as well as any information and/or declarations given on
their supply or readiness for supply.
The aim of these standardized methods is to obtain a representative sample of the whole batch supplied
or ready for supply. General methods to obtain such a sample are given in prEN 1482-1. It is under
investigation whether this standard covers organic and organo-mineral fertilizers.
However, where the product is stored in large static heaps it is not always possible or practical to put
the product into motion for a sampling method according to EN 1482-1 to be used. Research has found
that for a limited number of types of products a representative sample can be obtained by sampling
directly from the static heap.
This document describes the method to be used for sampling static heaps of the specified products
within its scope.
1 Scope
This document is applicable to the sampling of the following solid inorganic fertilizers and liming
materials supplied or ready for supply, and stored in static heaps:
— Single nutrient fertilizers,
— Uniform complex fertilizers,
— Milled, granulated or dredged liming materials,
— Any other materials deemed suitable for sampling by the method described in this part of the
standard,
for the purpose of testing for compliance with legal requirements and other descriptions and
declarations.
NOTE 1 The term “fertilizer” is used throughout the body of this document and includes liming materials and
inhibitors unless otherwise indicated.
NOTE 2 Manufacturers, importers and sellers might choose to use this method to obtain samples of other
products or blends as well as long as both parties to a transaction agree. The build-up of a static heap often leads
to granulometric segregation, which makes the collection of a truly representative sample unlikely.
NOTE 3 It is the responsibility of manufacturers, importers and sellers, however, to ensure they supply a
product that complies with its label declaration at the moment of delivery and fulfils the expectations of the end
user at the moment of application.

4 Sampling plans and quantitative data
4.1 General
The objective of sampling is to acquire a sample of the lot to establish its composition and properties.
The methods to be used for sampling static heaps are specified in the following clauses.
4.2 Characterization of the lot to be sampled
Before a sampling plan is determined, a description of the characteristics of the lot that is intended to be
sampled shall be undertaken. In particular, the following physical characteristics shall be noted:
— kind/type,
— texture,
— colour,
— storage conditions, e.g. uncovered/covered,
— foreign matters.
If the owner of the material is applying the same description and statutory information to the whole lot,
sampling should proceed in accordance with this document. Only if there is evidence of deterioration or
contamination should consideration be given to the dividing of the lot into parts from which separate
samples should be taken.
4.3 Sampling plan
4.3.1 General
The sampling plan shall be determined after the characteristics according to 4.2 have been considered.
Any variations from the stated sampling plan shall be documented.
The sampling plan shall define the course of the sampling process, and associated pr
