Frequently Asked Questions
An EU Directive is a legislative act of the European Union that sets out goals that all EU member states must achieve. However, it is up to each member state to devise their own laws on how to reach these goals through national transposition. Directives are used to harmonize laws across the EU, particularly for the functioning of the single market.
Directive 93/1/EEC covers "Methods of sampling and analysis for fertilizers (Analysis metods for trace elements) - (Commission Directive amending Dir. 77/535/EEC)". There are 4 standards associated with this directive.
Harmonized standards under 93/1/EEC are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 93/1/EEC, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
This standard defines a method for determination of the chelated trace element content and the chelated fraction of the trace elements (micronutrients) cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc in fertilizers. This method applies to fertilizers, covered by Directive 89/530/EEC, containing one or more of the trace elements cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, and zinc, chelated by one or more chelating agents of the group of the polyamino polycarboxylic acids.

This method describes the procedure for the ion chromatographic determination of the total amount of each individual chelating agent EDTA, HEDTA, and DTPA in fertilizers, containing one or more of these substances. The method allows the identification and the determination of the total water soluble fraction of each of these chelating agents. It does not allow to distinguish between the free form and the metal bound form of the chelating agent.
