For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publicationsapply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undatedreferences the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments).EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use - Specification and test methods (ISO 3696:1987).EN 13040:1999, Soil improvers and growing media - Sample preparation for chemical and physicaltests, determination of dry matter content, moisture content and laboratory compacted bulk density.3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this standard the terms and definitions given in EN 13040 apply.4 PrincipleA sample is extracted with calcium chloride/DTPA at 22 C
3 C in an extraction volume ratio of 1+5.The extracted nutrients are determined by various methods as appropriate (see annex B).5 Reagents5.1 GeneralAll reagents used shall be of recognised analytical quality and water of grade 2 according to EN ISO3696.5.2Dihydrated calcium chloride, CaCl2.2H2O.5.3Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA), C14H23N3O10.5.4Concentrated extracting solution CaCl2/DTPA, (CAT), dissolve 14,7 g CaCl2.2H2O (5.2) and7,88 g DTPA (5.3) in 800 ml hot water (temperature approximately 80 C) with stirring on a magneticstirrer in a 1000 ml beaker.
At 75 C
10 C the reagents will dissolve within 2 h.
Allow to cool toambient temperature. Transfer the solution to a 1000 ml flask and dilute to the mark with water. TheSIST EN 13651:2002



EN 13651:2001 (E)5solution is stable at room temperature for several weeks. Any precipitation that occurs will disappear withwarming and stirring.5.5Extracting solution CaCl2/DTPA, (CAT), dilute the concentrated extracting solution (5.4) withwater in the proportions one part concentrated solution with nine parts water. The final concentration ofthe extracting solution should be 0,01 mol/l CaCl2 and 0,002 mol/l DTPA. The pH of the extractingsolution should be adjusted if necessary to be between 2,6 and 2,65.5.6Nitric acid, c(HNO3) = 15 mol/l:
1,42 g/ml; not less than 65 % mass/volume.5.7Nitric acid, c(HNO3) = 0,5 mol/l, dilute 35 ml nitric acid (5.6) to one litre with water.6 Apparatus6.1GeneralNOTEIt has been found convenient to keep separate sets of glassware for the determinations given in annex B,in order to reduce the possibility of within-laboratory contamination.All glass apparatus and plastic vessels used in the procedure should be subject to an appropriatepreparation procedure in order to keep the risk of contamination as low as possible. It is recommendedthat all vessels (glass and plastic) are cleansed by carefully immersing in warm nitric acid (5.6) for aminimum of 6 h and then rinsed in water.Rubber stoppers, which may contain traces of metals shall not be used. It is recommended to use plasticor any other stopper free of all substances to be analyzed.Borosilicate glassware shall not be used if boron is to be determined.The apparatus consists of the usual laboratory apparatus, and in particular the following :6.2Plastic bottles or containers, sufficiently large (500 ml to 1500 ml) with screw cap to accommodatethe volume of the sample, extractant and at least 10 % air volume.6.3Shaking or mixing machine, capable of holding the plastic bottles or containers (6.2) andmaintaining the sample in suspension without damaging the structure of the sample. The use of ahorizontal table shaker is recommended.6.4Filter paper, cellulose-based ashless types, with a medium pore size of approximately 8 m anddiameter of 150 mm.NOTECentrifugation is an acceptable alternative.6.5Analytical balance with an accuracy of 10 mg.7 Test samplePrepare the laboratory sample in accordance with EN 13040:1999, clause 8, and determine thelaboratory compacted bulk density of the sample in accordance with EN 13040:1999, annex A.SIST EN 13651:2002



EN 13651:2001 (E)68 Procedure8.1Extraction8.1.1 Test samples passing through a 20 mm sieveTake a weight equivalent to 60 ml of the sample volume (EN 13040:1999, clause 8.5) to the nearest 1 gand transfer to the container (6.2). Add 300 ml of extracting solution (5.5), secure the cap and shake for1 h on the shaking machine (6.3) at 22 C
3 C.8.1.2 Test samples passing through a 40 mm sieveTake a weight equivalent to 250 ml of the sample volume (EN 13040:1999, clause 8.3) to the nearest 1 gand transfer to the container (6.2). Add 1250 ml of extracting solution (5.5), secure the cap and shake for1 h on the shaking machine (6.3) at 22 C
3 C.8.1.3 FiltrationFilter through filter paper (6.4) discarding at least the first 10 ml. In some cases paper filtration is too slowor even impossible. In such cases alternative procedures for obtaining a clear supernatant are acceptableand the technique used shall be reported. The filtered extract is stable for three days in a hermeticallyclosed polyethylene bottle if stored in a refrigerator at 0 C to 5 C. The filtrate can be stored for longerperiods in a deep freezer at about
18 C.NOTEBefore using a solution that has been frozen, the thawed solution shall be thoroughly mixed to eliminategradient separation that occurs on freezing and subsequent thawing.8.2BlankThe reagent blank test shall be carried out in parallel with the determination, by the same procedure asoutlined in 8.1.1 or 8.1.2 and 8.1.3, using the same quantities of all the reagents as in the determinationbut omitting the test portion.NOTEThe measurement of a blank is introduced to determine the contribution of the extracting solution,glassware and filter paper used.9 Determination of the extracted nutrients and elementsSee annex B.10 Expression of resultsSubtract the values det
