Plant biostimulants - Sampling and sample preparation - Part 2: Sample preparation

This European Standard specifies methods for the reduction and preparation of samples of non-microbial plant biostimulants including those intended for determination of microbial pathogens and sets out the requirements for sample preparation reports. It specifies methods for the preparation of test samples and test portions from laboratory samples of plant biostimulants for subsequent chemical, biological or physical analysis.
It is also applicable to the sample preparation of blends of fertilizing products where plant biostimulants are main part of the blend. Otherwise, deliverables of sample preparation relevant for the main part of the blend apply.
This European Standard does not include methods for the reduction and preparation of samples of microbial plant biostimulants and will be covered by a different Technical specification.
NOTE   This European standard is applicable to the category of EU fertilizing product (plant biostimulants) in the meaning of the Regulation (EU) 2019/1009.

Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien - Probenahme und Probenvorbereitung - Teil 2: Probenvorbereitung

Dieses Dokument legt Verfahren zur Reduzierung und Vorbereitung von Proben von nicht-mikrobiellen Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien, einschließlich solcher, die für die Bestimmung von mikrobiellen Pathogenen vorgesehen sind, fest und regelt die Anforderungen an Berichte zur Probenvorbereitung. Es legt Verfahren zur Herstellung von Untersuchungsproben und Prüfmengen aus Laborproben von Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien für nachfolgende chemische, biologische oder physikalische Analysen fest.
Es ist zudem auf die Probenvorbereitung aus Mischungen von Düngemittelprodukten, bei denen Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien den Hauptbestandteil der Mischung darstellen, anwendbar. Andernfalls gelten die für den Hauptbestandteil der Mischung relevanten Vorgaben für die Probenvorbereitung.
Dieses Dokument umfasst keine Verfahren zur Reduzierung und Vorbereitung von Proben von mikrobiellen Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien; dies wird von einer anderen Europäischen Norm abgedeckt.
ANMERKUNG   Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar auf die Kategorie von EU Düngeprodukten (Pflanzen-Biostimulanzien) im Sinne der Verordnung (EU) 2019/1009.

Biostimulants des végétaux - Échantillonnage et préparation des échantillons - Partie 2: Préparation des échantillons

Le présent document spécifie des méthodes de réduction et de préparation des échantillons de biostimulants non microbiens des végétaux, y compris celles conçues pour la détermination des pathogènes microbiens, et précise les exigences relatives aux rapports de préparation des échantillons. Il spécifie des méthodes de préparation des échantillons pour essai et de prises d’essai à partir d’échantillons pour laboratoire de biostimulants des végétaux en vue d’une analyse chimique, biologique ou physique ultérieure.
Il est également applicable à la préparation des échantillons de mélanges de fertilisants dans lesquels les biostimulants des végétaux représentent la majorité du mélange. Dans le cas contraire, ce sont les livrables de la préparation d’échantillons pertinents pour le fertilisant majoritairement présent dans le mélange qui s’appliquent.
Le présent document n’inclut pas de méthodes de réduction et de préparation des échantillons de biostimulants microbiens des végétaux. Ces derniers seront couverts par une autre Norme européenne.

Introduction
This document was prepared by the experts of CEN/TC 455 “Plant biostimulants”. The European
Committee for Standardization (CEN) was requested by the European Commission (EC) to draft
European standards or European standardization deliverables to support the implementation of
Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 of 5 June 2019 laying down rules on the making available on the market of
EU fertilizing products (“FPR” or “Fertilizing Products Regulation”).
This standardization request, presented as M/564 and M/564 Amd1, also contributes to the
Communication on “Innovating for Sustainable Growth: A Bio economy for Europe”. The Working Group
1 “Sampling” was created to develop a work programme as part of this request. The technical committee
CEN/TC 455 “Plant biostimulants” was established to carry out the work programme that will prepare a
series of standards. The interest in plant biostimulants has increased significantly in Europe as a valuable
tool to use in agriculture. Standardization was identified as having an important role in order to promote
the use of biostimulants. The work of CEN/TC 455 seeks to improve the reliability of the supply chain,
thereby boosting the confidence of farmers, industry, and consumers in plant biostimulants, and will
promote and support commercialisation of the European biostimulant industry.
This document covers the following aspects of sample preparation, derived from EN 1482-2:2007. This
document is presented in a form adapted to the specificity of plant biostimulants. The title of the standard
is given in the Bibliography.
This document is addressed mainly to official laboratories which intend to perform analysis for quality
and safety control of non-microbial plant biostimulants. The laboratories will have a reference document
on how to properly prepare sample for analysis.
Figure 1 gives a schematic diagram of the sampling and sample preparation process.
