EN 1482-3:2016 (E) 4 Introduction The establishment of European Standards for methods of sampling and analysis is of utmost importance to guarantee a uniform application and control of the European legislation in all Member States. Standardized methods of sampling and analysis are essential elements in guaranteeing a high level of quality and safety of EC fertilizers for the benefit of purchasers. In order to avoid any improper use of the term “EC fertilizer” Member States are required to check the nutrient content of such fertilizers. To achieve this, representative sampling is essential for reliable analytical results. Competent authorities have limited resources for conformity assessment and these are most efficiently deployed at the downstream end of the supply chain. The purpose of Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 [1] is to ensure that the fertilizer meets European requirements and complies with the declaration of the required characteristics applied to it when delivered to a purchaser. EN 1482-1:2007 might not fully satisfy the needs of Member States when a large quantity of fertilizer is stored in a static heap that cannot be realistically put into motion. An evaluation was requested to be carried out by CEN to see what, if any, static heaps of fertilizer could be representatively sampled at affordable costs see (see [3]). The fundamental principle of representative sampling is that every particle has an equal chance of being sampled. This principle cannot easily be complied with in the case of bulk static heaps of solid fertilizers as a large proportion of the material cannot practically be reached by any sampling device. Wherever possible, this fertilizer should be sampled during transfer, during the building up of the heap, during dispatch or where it can practically be moved solely for sampling purposes. However, in some cases, sampling in the way described is not practicable. The European Commission asked CEN/TC 260/WG 1 to draft a European Standard in response to mandate M/454, which requires the development of a method of sampling static heaps that could not be sampled according to EN 1482-1:2007. This states that the sampling of static heaps should only be carried out when the product is in motion. In response to the mandate, sampling methods to sample static heaps have been developed and standardized as specified in this document. SIST EN 1482-3:2017

Introduction
The establishment of European Standards for methods of sampling and analysis is of utmost importance to
guarantee a uniform application and control of the European legislation in all Member States. Standardized
methods of sampling and analysis are essential elements in guaranteeing a high level of quality and safety of
EC fertilizers for the benefit of purchasers. In order to avoid any improper use of the term “EC fertilizer”
Member States are required to check the nutrient content of such fertilizers. To achieve this, representative
sampling is essential for reliable analytical results.
Competent authorities have limited resources for conformity assessment, and these are most efficiently
deployed at the downstream end of the supply chain. The purpose of Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 [1] is to
ensure that the fertilizer meets European requirements and complies with the declaration of the required

Member States, when a large quantity of fertilizer is stored in a static heap that cannot be realistically put into

The fundamental principle of representative sampling is that every particle has an equal chance of being

4.2 Characterization of the lot to be sampled
Before a sampling plan is determined, a description of the characteristics of the lot that is intended to be
sampled shall be undertaken. In particular, the following physical characteristics shall be noted:
— kind/type,
— texture,
— colour,
— storage conditions, e.g. uncovered/covered,
— foreign matters.
If the owner of the material is applying the same description and statutory information to the whole lot,
sampling should proceed in accordance with this document. Only if there is evidence of deterioration or
contamination, should consideration be given to the dividing of the lot into parts from which separate samples
should be taken.
4.3 Sampling plan
4.3.1 General
The sampling plan shall be determined after the characteristics according to 4.2 have been considered. Any
variations from the stated sampling plan shall be documented in written form.
The sampling plan shall define the course of the sampling process, and associated provisions, in reproducible
manner.
Sampling only around the base of the heap or from a single part of the heap does not supply a representative
sample.
4.3.2 Elements of the sampling plan
Within the sampling plan, the following elements shall be stated:
— boundary of the lot,
— determination of the volume/mass of the lot
