Overview
CEN/TS 17755:2022 is a CEN Technical Specification that defines the reference methods for determining granulometry (particle size distribution) of solid inorganic macronutrient fertilizers. It applies to EU fertilizing products classified under PFC 1(C)(I)(a) and PFC 7, and to blends composed only of products in PFC 1(C)(I)(a) and PFC 5, as set out in Regulation (EU) 2019/1009. The document links regulatory quality requirements to specific test methods used for compliance and quality control.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability
- Focused on solid inorganic macronutrient fertilizers within specified Product Function Categories (PFCs) under EU rules.
- Sampling and sample preparation
- Sampling must be representative and follow EN 1482-1:2007.
- Sample preparation for quality control follows EN 1482-2:2007.
- Sampling of static heaps is addressed by EN 1482-3:2016.
- Determination of granulometry
- For soft natural phosphates, use EN 15924:2011 - a wet sieving method to determine fineness of grinding.
- For other solid inorganic fertilizers, use EN 1235:1995 - test sieving to determine particle size distribution using one or more sieves.
- Terminology
- Terms and definitions are aligned with EN 12944-1:1999 and EN 12944-2:1999 to ensure consistent interpretation.
- Regulatory linkage
- The TS provides normative references that support compliance with the specific parameter requirements of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009.
Applications and users
This Technical Specification is practical for:
- Fertilizer manufacturers - to perform quality control and ensure product granulometry meets regulatory and specification requirements.
- Testing and calibration laboratories - to adopt standardized test sieving or wet sieving procedures (EN 1235, EN 15924) for reproducible particle size analysis.
- Regulatory bodies and conformity assessment - to verify compliance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 on EU fertilizing products.
- Agronomic consultants and distributors - to assess physical properties that affect handling, spreading behaviour and product performance (via particle size distribution data).
