Fertilizers and liming materials - Classification
This European Standard establishes a classification system for fertilizers and liming materials. The classification scheme includes an explanation of the meaning of each heading and clearly assigns each fertilizer or liming material to an appropriate group whilst recognizing that a few fertilizers or liming materials may be classified differently in some countries. The limits for nutrients contents which determine each class may be subject to national legislation.

Page 3EN 13535:2001IntroductionThe classification scheme includes an explanation of the meaning of each heading and clearly assigns eachfertilizer or liming material to an appropriate group whilst recognizing that a few fertilizers or liming materials maybe classified differently in some countries.The limits for nutrient contents which determine each class can be subject to national legislation.Owing to historical and legislative differences between countries, this European Standard uses, in the descriptions,terms only and not chemical symbols to denote nutrients. This avoids ambiguity between the elemental or oxideforms and leaves each country free to declare nutrient contents according to national requirements.The descriptions given in clause 4 are not definitions but are given to explain the definitions to be found in EN12944. These descriptions may not necessarily correspond with those used in national legislation.1 ScopeThis European Standard establishes a classification scheme for fertilizers and liming materials.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.
