Plant biostimulants - Detection of Salmonella spp.
This document describes a method for the detection of Salmonella spp. in biostimulants of the following Product Function Categories (PFCs) and Component Material Category (CMC) of EU fertilizing products, as described in Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 of the European Parliament and of the Council [1]:
- PFC 6(A): Microbial plant biostimulant;
- PFC 6(B): Non-microbial plant biostimulant;
- CMC 7: Microorganisms.
It requires three successive steps: a selective enrichment, an isolation on a chromogenic agar, and if positive a confirmation with a serological test (and if required, a selective media).
Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien - Nachweis von Salmonella spp.
Dieses Dokument beschreibt ein Verfahren zum Nachweis von Salmonella spp. in Biostimulanzien der folgenden Produktfunktionskategorien (PFCs, en: Product Function Categories) und Komponentenmaterial¬kategorien (CMC, en: Component Material Category) von EU Düngeprodukten, wie in der Verordnung (EU) 2019/1009 des Europäischen Parlaments und des Rates [1] beschrieben:
PFC 6(A): Mikrobielles Pflanzen-Biostimulans;
PFC 6(B): Nicht-mikrobielles Pflanzen-Biostimulans;
CMC 7: Mikroorganismen.
Es erfordert drei aufeinanderfolgende Schritte: eine selektive Anreicherung, eine Isolierung auf einem chromogenen Agar und bei positivem Befund eine Bestätigung mit einer serologischen Untersuchung (und, falls erforderlich, einem Selektivmedium).
Biostimulants des végétaux - Recherche des Salmonella spp.
Le présent document décrit une méthode pour la recherche des Salmonella spp. dans les biostimulants des catégories fonctionnelles de produits (PFC) et de la catégorie de matières constitutives (CMC) des fertilisants UE décrites dans le Règlement (EU) 2019/1009 du Parlement européen et du Conseil [1] :
- PFC 6(A) : Biostimulant microbien des végétaux ;
- PFC 6(B) : Biostimulant non microbien des végétaux ;
- CMC 7 : Microorganismes.
Il nécessite trois phases successives : un enrichissement sélectif, un isolement sur une gélose chromogène, et, en cas de résultat positif, une confirmation par un essai sérologique (et, si nécessaire, un milieu sélectif).

European foreword
This document (prEN 17717:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 455 “Plant
Biostimulants”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN enquiry.
This document will supersede CEN/TS 17717:2022.
This document has been prepared under a Standardization Request given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU
Directive(s) / Regulation(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s) / Regulation(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part

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 “Fertilising Products Regulation”). This Standardization Request,
presented as SR M/564 and M/564Amd1, also contributes to the Communication on “Innovating for
Sustainable Growth: A Bio economy for Europe”. Working Group 5 “Labelling and denominations”, was
created to develop a work program as part of this request.
Technical committee CEN/TC 455 “Plant Biostimulants” was established to carry out the work program
that will prepare a series of standards. The interest in 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 improving the confidence of farmers, industry, and consumers in biostimulants,
and will promote and support commercialisation of the European biostimulant industry.
Biostimulants used in agriculture can be applied in multiple ways: on soil, on plants, as seed treatment,
etc. A microbial plant biostimulant consists of a microorganism or a consortium of microorganisms, as
referred to in Component Material Category 7 of Annex II of the EU Fertilizing Products Regulation (EU)
2019/1009 [1].
This document is applicable to all microbial biostimulants in agriculture.
WARNING — Persons using this document should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This
document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to ensure compliance
with any national regulatory conditions.
IMPORTANT — It is absolutely essential that tests conducted in accordance with this document be
carried out by suitably trained staff.
