Soil improvers and growing media - Sample preparation for chemical and physical tests, determination of dry matter content, moisture content and laboratory compacted bulk density

This European Standard specifies a routine method for preparing a sample of soil improver or growing media prior to chemical analysis and physical testing. The procedures described herein apply only to those samples that are supplied to a laboratory in the form in which they will be used for their intended purpose.
NOTE 1   This method is not applicable to liming materials and is not suitable for materials like rockwool and foam slabs.
NOTE 2   The determination of the laboratory compacted bulk density is given in Annex A.
NOTE 3   The results of an interlaboratory trial to determine moisture content are given in Annex B.
NOTE 4   The results of an interlaboratory trial to determine compacted laboratory bulk density are given in Annex B.
NOTE 5   Attention is drawn to the possible existence of national legislation for the declaration of specific products, which could differ from the general requirements of this European Standard.

Amendements organiques et supports de culture - Préparation des échantillons pour les essais physiques et chimiques, détermination de la teneur en matière sèche, du taux d'humidité et de la masse volumique compactée en laboratoire

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode de préparation d'un échantillon d'amendement organique ou de support de culture avant analyse chimique et essais physiques. Les modes opératoires qu'elle décrit s'appliquent aux échantillons fournis au laboratoire sous la forme qui sera celle de leur utilisation finale.
NOTE 1   La méthode n’est pas applicable aux amendements minéraux basiques et ne convient pas aux matériaux tels que la laine de roche et les blocs de mousses.
NOTE 2   L’Annexe A décrit une méthode de détermination de la masse volumique compactée en laboratoire.
NOTE 3   L'Annexe B donne les résultats d’un essai inter-laboratoires relatif à la détermination du taux d’humidité.
NOTE 4   L'Annexe B fournit les résultats d’un essai inter-laboratoires pour déterminer la masse volumique compactée au laboratoire.
NOTE 5   Les exigences de cette norme peuvent diverger par rapport aux exigences nationales en matière de déclaration des produits concernés.
