Fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors - Determination of the quantity (declared by mass or volume)

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.

Düngemittel, Kalkdünger und Hemmstoffe - Bestimmung der Menge (durch Angabe der Masse oder des Volumens)

Dieses Dokument legt Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Menge der folgenden festen und flüssigen Düngeprodukte fest: organische Düngemittel, organisch-mineralische Düngemittel, anorganische Düngemittel, Kalkdünger und Hemmstoffe in Packungen, Behältern oder in loser Form.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar auf Mischungen von Düngeprodukten, in denen organische Düngemittel, organisch-mineralische Düngemittel, anorganische Düngemittel, Kalkdünger und Hemmstoffe den höchsten prozentualen Anteil in der Mischung nach Masse oder Volumen oder, im Fall von flüssigen Formen, nach Trockenmasse ausmachen. Wenn organische Düngemittel, organisch-mineralische Düngemittel, anorganische Düngemittel, Kalkdünger und Hemmstoffe nicht den höchsten prozentualen Anteil in der Mischung ausmachen, ist die für den höchsten prozentualen Anteil geltende Europäische Norm anwendbar. Falls eine Düngeproduktmischung aus Bestandteilen gleicher Menge besteht, entscheidet der Anwender, welche Norm angewendet wird.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht anwendbar für die Bestimmung der Menge von: Kultursubstraten, Bodenverbesserungsmitteln und Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien.

Engrais, amendements minéraux basiques et inhibiteurs - Détermination de la quantité (déclarée en masse ou en volume)

Le présent document spécifie les méthodes à utiliser pour la détermination de la quantité de fertilisants suivants sous forme solide et liquide : engrais organiques, engrais organo-minéraux, engrais inorganiques, amendements minéraux basiques et inhibiteurs, dans des emballages, des conteneurs ou en vrac.
Le présent document est applicable aux mélanges de fertilisants dans lesquels les engrais organiques, les engrais organo-minéraux, les engrais inorganiques, les amendements minéraux basiques et les inhibiteurs représentent le % le plus élevé du mélange en masse ou en volume ou, pour les liquides, en masse sèche. Si les engrais organiques, les engrais organo-minéraux, les engrais inorganiques, les amendements minéraux basiques et les inhibiteurs ne représentent pas le % le plus élevé du mélange, la Norme européenne du composant représentant le % le plus élevé du mélange s’applique. Dans le cas où le mélange de fertilisants est constitué de composants en quantités égales, l’utilisateur décide quelle norme appliquer.
Le présent document ne s’applique pas à la détermination de la quantité des supports de culture, des amendements du sol et des biostimulants des végétaux.

Sredstva za gnojenje, sredstva za apnjenje in inhibitorji - Določanje količine (upoštevajoč maso ali prostornino)

Ta dokument določa metode za določanje količine naslednjih trdnih in tekočih sredstev za gnojenje: organskih gnojil, organsko-mineralnih gnojil, anorganskih gnojil, sredstev za apnenje in inhibitorjev v pakiranjih, posodah ali v razsutem stanju.
Ta dokument se uporablja za mešanice sredstev za gnojenje, pri katerih organska gnojila, organsko-mineralna gnojila, anorganska gnojila, sredstva za apnenje in inhibitorji predstavljajo največji masni ali prostorninski odstotek mešanice ali, v primeru tekoče oblike, odstotek suhe mase. Če organska gnojila, organsko-mineralna gnojila, anorganska gnojila, sredstva za apnenje in inhibitorji ne predstavljajo največjega odstotka mešanice, se uporablja evropski standard za najvišji odstotek mešanice. Če vsebuje mešanica sredstva za gnojenje komponente v enakih količinah, standard za uporabo izbere uporabnik.
Ta dokument se ne uporablja za določanje količine rastnih substratov, izboljševalcev tal in rastlinskih biostimulantov.

Introduction
In order to measure compliance with the related requirements of the Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 [4]
relevant test methods have to be specified in harmonized standards. In this document the
determination of the quantity of organic, organo-mineral and inorganic fertilizers, liming materials,
inhibitors and blends containing these fertilizing products is specified.
In this document, the term “product” is used as the generic term for the above-mentioned groups of
products.
1 Scope
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
