Inorganic micronutrient fertilizers - Determination of the chelated micronutrient content and the chelated fraction of micronutrients - Part 2: Determination of EDTA, DTPA, HEEDTA, IDHA or EDDS

This document specifies a method for the determination of the chelated fraction of micronutrients for fertilizers when one or many micronutrients are chelated by EDTA, DTPA, HEEDTA, IDHA or [S,S]-EDDS in fertilizers.
This method is used for inorganic micronutrient fertilizers when micronutrients are chelated only by EDTA, DTPA, HEEDTA, IDHA or [S,S]-EDDS or for mixtures in which EDTA, DTPA, HEEDTA, IDHA or [S,S]-EDDS is one of the chelating agents.
The method is applicable to all inorganic micronutrient fertilizers containing EDTA, DTPA, HEEDTA, IDHA or [S,S]-EDDS as chelating agent for contents > 0,1% (g/100 g).
The method is based on ICP or AAS measurement of the concentration of micronutrients according to EN 16963 or EN 16965 after water extraction according to EN 16962 and LC measurement of the chelating agents according to EN 15950, EN 13368-1 and EN 13368-3.

Anorganische Spurennährstoff-Düngemittel - Bestimmung des Gehaltes an chelatisierten Spurennährstoffen und des chelatisierten Anteils an Spurennährstoffen - Teil 2: Bestimmung von EDTA, DTPA, HEEDTA, IDHA oder EDDS

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Gehalts an chelatisiertem Eisen sowie des chelatisierten Anteils an Eisen in UVCB-Chelaten, EDDHA, EDDHMA, HBED und EDDHSA in anorganischen Spurennährstoff-Düngemitteln durch Behandlung mit einem Kationenaustauschharz fest.
Die Bestimmungsgrenze des Gehalts an chelatisiertem Eisen hängt stark von der spezifischen elektrischen Leitfähigkeit der Probe und der Menge des vorhandenen Nährstoffs ab und variiert zwischen 0,005 % in einfachen Matrices mit großen Mengen an Spurennährstoffen und 0,5 % in komplexeren Fällen (siehe 9.1).

Le présent document spécifie une méthode pour la détermination de la fraction chélatée des oligo-éléments pour les engrais contenant un ou plusieurs oligo-éléments chélatés par de l’EDTA, du DTPA, du HEEDTA, de l’IDHA ou du [S,S]-EDDS dans les engrais.
Cette méthode est utilisée pour les engrais inorganiques à base d’oligo-éléments lorsque les oligo-éléments sont chélatés uniquement par de l’EDTA, du DTPA, du HEEDTA, de l’IDHA ou du [S,S]-EDDS ou pour des mélanges dans lesquels l’EDTA, le DTPA, le HEEDTA, l’IDHA ou le [S,S]-EDDS est l’un des agents chélatants.
La méthode est applicable à tous les engrais inorganiques à base d’oligo-éléments contenant de l’EDTA, du DTPA, du HEEDTA, de l’IDHA ou du [S,S]-EDDS comme agent chélatant pour des teneurs > 0,1 % (w/w).
La méthode est basée sur un dosage par ICP ou par AAS de la concentration en oligo-éléments conformément à l’EN 16963 ou l’EN 16965 après extraction à l’eau conformément à l’EN 16962, et sur un dosage par LC des agents chélatants conformément à l’EN 15950, l’EN 13368-1 et l’EN 13368-3.

Anorganska gnojila z mikrohranili - Določanje vsebnosti kelatiranih mikrohranil in deleža kelatiranih mikrohranil - 2. del: Določevanje EDTA, DTPA, HEEDTA, IDHA ali EDDS

Ta dokument navaja metodo za določanje kelatiranega deleža mikrohranil za gnojila, kadar je eno ali več mikrohranil v gnojilih kelatirano z EDTA, DTPA, HEEDTA, IDHA ali [S,S]-EDDS.
Ta metoda se uporablja za anorganska gnojila z mikrohranili, kadar so mikrohranila kelatirana samo z EDTA, DTPA, HEEDTA, IDHA ali [S,S]-EDDS, ali za mešanice, v katerih je EDTA, DTPA, HEEDTA, IDHA ali [S,S]-EDDS eno od sredstev za kelatiranje.
Metoda je uporabna za vsa anorganska gnojila z mikrohranili, ki vsebujejo EDTA, DTPA, HEEDTA, IDHA ali [S,S]-EDDS kot sredstvo za kelatiranje za vsebnosti > 0,1 % (g/100 g).
Metoda temelji na meritvi ICP ali AAS koncentracije mikrohranil v skladu s standardom EN 16963 ali EN 16965 po vodni ekstrakciji v skladu s standardom EN 16962 in meritvi LC sredstev za kelatiranje v skladu s standardi EN 15950, EN 13368-1 in EN 13368-3.

Introduction
Micronutrients are considered to be, in plant nutrition, a number of elements known to be needed in
small amounts for proper plant growth and development. The most common are Iron (Fe), Manganese
(Mn), Molybdenum (Mo), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn) and Boron (B).
If an inorganic micronutrient fertilizer contains a substance, or one of the substances in the mixture,
which is intended to enhance the long term availability to plants of micronutrients in the EU fertilizing
product, that substance is either a chelating agent or a complexing agent.
1
The chelating agents are divided into two groups :
— Group 1: EDTA, DTPA, HEEDTA, IDHA and [S,S]-EDDS;
— Group 2: Chelating agents present in UVCB (unknown or variable composition, complex reaction
products and biological materials) chelates including [o,o] EDDHA , [o,p] EDDHA , [o,o] EDDHMA,
HBED and EDDHSA.
This document defines the test method to be used in order to measure the compliance with the
chelated fraction of micronutrients in product function category (PFC) 1(C) (II) (classified according
to Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 [7]) as inorganic micronutrient fertilizer containing one or more
chelating agents of Group 1.
