General Information
Overview
SIST-TS CEN/TS 17803:2024 is a European Technical Specification developed by CEN that addresses the detection of specific pathogens in organic and organo-mineral fertilizers. This standard ensures compliance with the safety and quality requirements outlined in Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 for fertilizing products classified under Product Function Categories (PFC) 1(A) and 1(B). It specifies the procedures and references to validated methods for identifying key microbial contaminants: Enterococcaceae, Salmonella spp., and Escherichia coli.
The standard plays a critical role in safeguarding public health and environmental safety by defining consistent test methods for pathogen detection in fertilizers that contain organic and organo-mineral components. It supports regulatory compliance, quality assurance, and market access within the EU and related markets.
Key Topics
- Scope and Applicability: Focuses exclusively on organic and organo-mineral fertilizers under PFC 1(A) and 1(B) categories per EU Regulation 2019/1009.
- Pathogen Detection: Details detection methodologies for:
- Enterococcaceae (family including Enterococcus species)
- Salmonella spp. (common and hazardous pathogen group)
- Escherichia coli (indicator organism for fecal contamination)
- Sampling and Sample Preparation: Emphasizes adherence to EN 1482 standards for accurate sampling adapted specifically to the nature of organic and organo-mineral fertilizers.
- Normative References: Incorporates related standards such as:
- CEN/TS 17804:2022 for Enterococcaceae detection
- CEN/TS 17780:2022 for Salmonella spp. detection
- CEN/TS 17781:2022 for Escherichia coli detection
- Regulatory Foundation: Linked directly to Regulation (EU) 2019/1009, which governs safety and quality in EU fertilizing products.
Applications
- Fertilizer Quality Control: Laboratories and manufacturers use this standard to reliably detect pathogens, helping to certify organic and organo-mineral fertilizers before market release.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensures products meet EU safety requirements, facilitating legal market access and consumer confidence.
- Environmental Safety: Reduces risk of spreading harmful bacteria through fertilizers used in agriculture, protecting soil health and ecosystems.
- Product Development: Enables fertilizer producers to design safer products, leveraging verified pathogen detection methods to monitor microbiological quality.
- International Trade: Supports conformity assessments required for export/import of fertilizers in regions recognizing CEN standards.
Related Standards
- EN 12944-1:1999 & EN 12944-2:1999: Defines fertilizer terminology and vocabularies essential for consistent communication in testing and production.
- EN 1482 (all parts): Provides comprehensive guidance on sampling and sample preparation tailored to fertilizers and liming materials.
- CEN/TS 17804:2022: Outlines detection techniques specific to Enterococcaceae in fertilizers.
- CEN/TS 17780:2022: Details methodologies for identifying Salmonella species.
- CEN/TS 17781:2022: Specifies procedures to detect Escherichia coli in fertilizers.
- Regulation (EU) 2019/1009: Establishes the legislative framework for fertilizing product categories, safety, and market placement within the EU.
