Solid fertilizers - Study on homogeneity
In some cases visual inspection may identify blended materials, but there are fertilizers on the market for which the type can be decided only by an analytical investigation of the distribution of some property (e.g. nutrient content) within the product. Methods to measure the distribution of a property within a bulk belong to the category "homogeneity test" in a broad sense.

This document specifies sampling plans and methods of representative sampling of inorganic fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors for physical and chemical analysis, from packages and containers up to and including 1 000 kg, in liquid and solid form. This document covers sampling of products in bulk only while in motion.
NOTE 1 The sampling of bulk heaps of specified types of fertilizers is covered in prEN 1482 3. Sampling for detection of microbial presence is covered by prEN 1482 4.
NOTE 2 The term product is used throughout the body of this document and is understood to include inorganic fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors unless otherwise indicated.
It is applicable to the sampling of batches of fertilizer, liming material and inhibitors supplied or ready for supply to third parties, as such, or in smaller batches, each of which would be subject to local, national or regional legislation.
This document does not cover complete, statistical sampling plans.
This document is also applicable to the blends of products where inorganic fertilizers, liming materials, or inhibitors are the main part of the blend in quantity. If fertilizers, liming materials, or inhibitors are not the main part of the blend, the European Standard for the main part of the blend applies. In case a blend of fertilizing products is composed of parts in equal quantity, the user decides which standard to apply. Special care is needed to ensure that the blend is/stays homogeneous and well mixed when sampled.
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.

This document specifies methods for the reduction and preparation of samples of fertilizers, liming materials, inhibitors and blends and sets out the requirements for sample preparation reports. It also specifies methods for the preparation of test samples and test portions from laboratory samples of fertilizer for subsequent chemical or physical analysis. It does not cover the preparation of samples for certain physical tests which require test portions of more than 2 kg.
NOTE 1 The term “fertilizer” is used throughout the body of this document and is understood to include liming materials and inhibitors unless otherwise indicated.
NOTE 2 In relation to the procedures set out in this part of the standard any special procedures specific to a particular test method will be set out in that method standard.

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.

This document specifies methods for the determination of quantity of the following solid and liquid fertilizing products: organic fertilizers, organo-mineral fertilizers, inorganic fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors in packages, containers or in bulk.
This document is applicable to fertilizing products blends where organic fertilizers, organo-mineral fertilizers, inorganic fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors are the highest % of the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If organic fertilizers, organo-mineral fertilizers, inorganic fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors are not the highest % of the blend, the European Standard for the highest % of the blend applies. In case a fertilizing product blend is made up of components in equal quantity, the user decides which standard to apply.
This document is not applicable to the quantity determination of: growing media, soil improvers and plant biostimulants.

This document specifies a method for the determination of phosphorus in fertilizer extracts.
The method is applicable to all extracts of fertilizers for the determination of the different forms of phosphorus as phosphorus soluble in mineral acids, water-soluble phosphorus, phosphorus soluble in solutions of neutral ammonium citrate, phosphorus soluble in 2 % citric acid and phosphorus soluble in a mass fraction of 2 % formic acid.
The method has only been validated on inorganic fertilizers but can be applicable to all extracted phosphorous if proper extraction methods are used.

This document specifies a method for the determination of nitrogen content in IBDU (isobutylidenediurea) and CDU (crotonylidenediurea) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
The method is applicable to all fertilizers which do not contain interfering organic compounds.

This document specifies a method for the determination of methylen-urea (MU) oligomers in inorganic fertilizers using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
The method is applicable to all fertilizers which do not contain interfering organic compounds.
NOTE By the condensation of urea and formaldehyde, several oligomers are formed, such as methylen-diurea (MDU), dimethylen-triurea (DMTU), trimethylen-tetraurea (TMTU) and higher oligomers. The three molecules named here are the most soluble in water, while the higher compounds are insoluble in hot water, but their nitrogen is available for plants by microbiological decomposition. Also, urea is always a companion of MU-oligomers.
