Soil improvers and growing media - Determination of nitrogen - Part 2: Dumas method

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of nitrogen in soil improvers and growing media. The dry combustion method was developed originally as a manual method by Dumas [5]. Its application is improved greatly due to the use of modern automated equipment and is applicable to all forms of nitrogen.
The method is not applicable to liming materials and preformed materials such as mineral wool slabs and foam slabs.
NOTE   The requirements of the standard may differ from the national legal requirements for the declaration of the products concerned.

Bodenverbesserungsmittel und Kultursubstrate - Bestimmung von Stickstoff - Teil 2: Verfahren nach Dumas

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Stickstoff in Bodenverbesserungsmitteln und
Kultursubstraten fest. Das Trockenverbrennungsverfahren wurde ursprünglich von Dumas [5] als manuelles
Verfahren entwickelt. Die Anwendung dieses Verfahrens hat sich durch die Benutzung moderner automatischer
Geräte wesentlich verbessert. Das Verfahren gilt für alle Formen von Stickstoff.
Das Verfahren gilt nicht für Calcium-/Magnesium-Bodenverbesserungsmittel und vorgeformte Materialien wie Platten
aus Mineralwolle und Schaumplatten.
ANMERKUNG  Die Anforderungen der Norm können von den nationalen gesetzlichen Vorgaben bezüglich der Deklaration der erwähnten
Produkte abweichen.

Amendements du sol et supports de culture - Détermination de l'azote - Partie 2: Méthode de Dumas

La présente Norme européenne décrit une méthode de détermination de l'azote présent dans les amendements du sol et les supports de culture. La méthode de combustion seche a tout d'abord été élaborée comme une méthode manuelle par Dumas [5]. Son application a été considérablement améliorée grâce a l'utilisation d'un équipement automatisé moderne. Elle est applicable a toutes les formes d'azote.
La méthode ne s'applique pas aux amendements calciques ni aux matériaux préformés tels que la laine de roche et les mousses.
NOTE   Les exigences de la norme peuvent différer des obligations légales en vigueur pour la déclaration des produits concernés.
