This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 13 March 2022 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,

Introduction
Aqua regia is applied to digest different matrices for the subsequent determination of many elements.
For example, a multi-matrix standard for aqua regia extraction of soils, sludges and biowaste was
prepared by CEN/TC 444 “Environmental characterization”. A similar procedure was applied for
determination of aqua regia extractable elements according to CEN/TS 17769 and CEN/TS 17770.
CEN/TC 223 “Soil improvers and growing media” published a standard for a similar procedure for soil
improvers and growing media. Wide use of the aqua regia digestion, availability of the instruments and
the possibility to merge the standards for different matrices in the future, were the main reasons for also
applying this method of digestion for organic and organo-mineral fertilizers.

1 Scope
This document specifies the procedure for the digestion of different organic fertilizers and organo-
mineral fertilizers with aqua regia to enable a subsequent determination of elements.
The extracts are suitable for analysis using CEN/TS 17770 and CEN/TS 17769.
NOTE Alternatively, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) can be used for the measurement
if the user proves that the method gives the same results.

4 Principle
The samples are digested by boiling in aqua regia.
5 Sampling and sample preparation
Sampling should be performed carefully, following the principles described in EN 1482 (all parts) with
appropriate adaptations, required to account for specificities of organic and organo-mineral fertilizers.
6 Reagents
All reagents should be of recognized analytical grade. The reagents and water used shall have negligible
concentrations of the elements to be determined if compared to the lowest concentrations of these
elements in the sample solution.
