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 “Fertilising Products Regulation”).
This standardization request, presented as M/564, 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 program as part of this request. The technical committee CEN/TC 455 “Plant
Biostimulants” was established to carry out the work program that will prepare a series of standards. The
interest in 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 improving the
confidence of farmers, industry, and consumers in 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,
Fertilizers and liming materials — Sampling and sample preparation — Part 2: Sample preparation. 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.
