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, Poland,

Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 16177:2012) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 400 “Project
Committee - Horizontal standards in the fields of sludge, biowaste and soil”, the secretariat of which is held by
DIN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The preparation of this document by CEN is based on a mandate by the European Commission (Mandate
M/330), which assigned the development of standards on sampling and analytical methods for hygienic and
biological parameters as well as inorganic and organic determinants, aiming to make these standards
applicable to sludge, treated biowaste and soil as far as this is technically feasible.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia,

1 Scope
This Technical Specification specifies a procedure for the determination of ammonium nitrogen and nitrate
nitrogen in sludge, treated biowaste and soil after extraction with a 1 mol/l potassium chloride solution. The
extraction method is suitable for fresh samples.
The determination of nitrogen fractions can be done manually or by automated methods.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references,
the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
EN 16179, Sludge, treated biowaste and soil — Guidance for sample pretreatment
EN ISO 3696, Water for analytical laboratory use — Specification and test methods (ISO 3696)
EN ISO 11732, Water quality — Determination of ammonium nitrogen — Method by flow analysis (CFA and
FIA) and spectrometric detection (ISO 11732)
ISO 7150-1, Water quality — Determination of ammonium — Part 1: Manual spectrometric method
ISO 14256-2, Soil quality — Determination of nitrate, nitrite and ammonium in field-moist soils by extraction
with potassium chloride solution — Part 2: Automated method with segmented flow analysis
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
nitrogen fractions
mass of ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen (mineral nitrogen) that is released after a single or repeated
extraction of the sample using 1 mol/l potassium chloride solution
4 Principle
An aliquot of the homogenised fresh material is shaken for 1 h with 1 mol/l potassium chloride solution at room
temperature. The ratio of extractant to material varies according to the material tested. The extraction solution
is centrifuged or filtered and an aliquot of the filtrate is analysed by flow injection analysis (FIA) or continuous
flow analysis (CFA) or by manual methods as distillation and titration or spectrophotometric method.
5 Interferences and sources of errors
The samples can change composition due to biological and/or chemical activity. The fresh or the deep frozen
homogenised test sample is directly transferred to the extraction bottle, which is filled with the potassium
chloride solution, if a change in the content of the nitrogen fractions can be expected. Drying of the material,
even rapid microwave drying will result in a change of the nitrogen content especially of ammonium. Take
care to use purified glassware and equipment and filter papers free of contaminations with nitrate and
ammonium. Cleaning of glassware with water shall be performed after each use, especially to avoid cross
contaminations from samples with high contents of nitrogen fractions, like sludge or biowaste. Use separate
equipment for the analysis of soil samples, as contents of nitrogen fractions can be near the detection limit. A
blank test shall be carried out to assure purity of reagents and equipment.
