Plant biostimulants - Sampling and sample preparation - Part 1: Sampling

This document specifies sampling plans and methods of representative sampling of plant biostimulants to obtain samples for physical, chemical and biological analysis.
It is applicable to the sampling of batches of plant biostimulants supplied or ready for supply to third parties, as such, or in smaller batches.
This document is applicable to the blends of fertilizing products where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following component EU fertilising products: Fertilizers/Liming Materials/Soil Improvers/Growing Media/Inhibitors/Plant Biostimulants, and where the following category Plant Biostimulants is the highest percentage in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If Plant Biostimulants is not the highest percentage in the blend, the European Standard for the highest percentage of the blend applies. In case a blend of fertilizing products is composed of components in equal quantity or in case the component EU fertilising products used for the blend have identical formulations , the user decides which standard to apply.
This document is intended to be used by manufacturers, buyers and competent authorities to obtain samples prior to transport and supply it to a laboratory for testing.

Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien - Probenahme und Probenvorbereitung - Teil 1: Probenahme

Dieses Dokument legt Probenahmepläne und Verfahren der repräsentativen Probenahme aus Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien zur Gewinnung von Proben für physikalische, chemische und biologische Analysen fest.
Es ist auf die Probenahme aus Partien von Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien, die als solche oder in kleineren Partien an Dritte geliefert wurden oder lieferbereit sind, anwendbar.
Dieses Dokument ist für die Mischungen von Düngeprodukten anwendbar, in denen eine Mischung aus mindestens zwei der folgenden Komponenten-EU Düngeprodukten besteht: Düngemittel, Kalkdünger, Bodenverbesserungsmittel, Kultursubstrate, Hemmstoffe, Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien und wenn die folgende Kategorie Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien prozentual den höchsten Massen- oder Volumenanteil in der Mischung bzw., bei flüssiger Form, den höchsten Trockenmasseanteil aufweist. Wenn Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien nicht den höchsten prozentualen Anteil in der Mischung ausmachen, ist die für den höchsten prozentualen Anteil geltende Europäische Norm anwendbar. Falls eine Düngemittelmischung aus Komponenten gleicher Menge besteht oder falls die für die Mischung verwendeten Komponenten-EU Düngeprodukte identische Formulierungen haben, entscheidet der Anwender, welche Norm angewendet wird.
ANMERKUNG   Ein Beispiel für eine solche Mischung ist ein Produkt mit zwei angegebenen Funktionen, das aus einem nicht-mikrobiellen Pflanzen-Biostimulans und einem organischen Dünger besteht, der 1 kg/kg Pflanzen-Biostimulans aus Meeresalgen enthält.
Dieses Dokument ist für die Verwendung durch Hersteller, Käufer und die zuständigen Behörden bestimmt, um Proben vor dem Transport zu erhalten und diese zur Untersuchung an ein Labor zu übergeben.

Biostimulants des végétaux - Échantillonnage et préparation des échantillons - Partie 1 : Échantillonnage

Le présent document spécifie les plans d’échantillonnage et les méthodes d’échantillonnage représentatif de biostimulants des végétaux pour obtenir des échantillons en vue d’une analyse physique, chimique et biologique.
Il est applicable à l’échantillonnage de lots de biostimulants des végétaux livrés ou prêts à être livrés à une tierce partie, en l’état ou sous forme de lots plus petits.
Le présent document est applicable aux mélanges de fertilisants constitués d’au moins deux composants appartenant aux catégories de fertilisants UE suivantes : engrais, amendements minéraux basiques, amendements du sol, supports de culture, inhibiteurs, biostimulants des végétaux et, dans lesquels la catégorie Biostimulants des végétaux représente le pourcentage le plus élevé du mélange en masse ou en volume, ou dans le cas d’un liquide, en masse sèche. Si les biostimulants des végétaux ne représentent pas le pourcentage le plus élevé du mélange, la Norme européenne relative au composant représentant le pourcentage le plus élevé du mélange s’applique. Dans le cas où un mélange de fertilisants contient des composants en quantité égale ou dans le cas où les composants des fertilisants UE utilisés pour le mélange ont des formulations  identiques, l’utilisateur décide quelle norme appliquer.
Le présent document est destiné à être utilisé par les fabricants, acheteurs et autorités compétentes pour obtenir des échantillons avant de les transporter et de les fournir à un laboratoire pour essai.
