This document specifies references to methods for the determination of the chloride content in organic fertilizers, organo-mineral fertilizers, inorganic fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors. This document is applicable to fertilizing product blends where the blend is a mix of at least two of the following components: fertilizers, liming materials, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors, plant biostimulants, and where the following category: fertilizers is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If fertilizer is not the highest % in the blend, the European Standard for the highest % of the blend applies. In case a fertilizing product blend is composed only of inorganic products, the European Standard for inorganic fertilizers applies. NOTE Variations in analytical methods for fertilizing product blends can lead to differing results as some components or matrix interactions can affect the outcome. Validation procedures have shown that developed standard methods are robust and reliable across diverse product compositions, but possible interferences and unexpected results when analysing fertilizing product blends are possible.

 

This document describes a method for extracting, for analysis, soluble contaminants from a surface by swabbing them from their surfaces. With suitable surface sampling techniques, the test is applicable to steel surfaces before and after cleaning, as well as to coated surfaces between application of coatings.

 

 

This document specifies the methods commonly available for separating adhesively bonded joints enabling repair and improving recycling. This document applies to adherends made of metallic and non-metallic inorganic material, plastics including both filler-containing and fibre-reinforced types, wood and wood-based materials, coated materials, adherends of natural and polymeric fibres as well as paper and cardboard.
