Scope

This European Standard specifies sampling plans and methods of representative sampling of non organic and non organo-mineral fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors to obtain samples for physical and chemical analysis, from packages and containers up to and including 1 000 kg, from liquid products and from fertilizers in bulk provided the product is in motion.

It is applicable to the sampling of lots of fertilizer or liming material supplied or ready for supply to third parties, as such, or in smaller lots, each of which would be subject to local, national or regional legislation. Where legislation so requires, samples are taken in accordance with this European Standard.

This European Standard does not cover complete, statistical sampling plans.

Purpose

In the frame of standardization request M/564 and M/564 Amd1, methods for sampling and sample preparation shall be developed to support test methods to be applied for for verifying the conformity of CE-marked fertilizing products with the requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/1009. The proposed document should include requirements for sampling of inorganic fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors.
