Soil improvers and growing media - Determination of a quantity
This European Standard specifies methods for the determination of a quantity of soil improvers and growing media in bulk and in packages. This is a reference method, which is designed with an appropriate precision level so that it can be used to validate any quantity declaration made.
This standard is applicable to material that is in solid form, reconstituted if necessary, but not to blocks sold as such by dimension; for these, see EN 15761. This method is not applicable for material with more than 10 % (V/V) of particles greater than 60 mm in size; for these, see EN 15238.
The requirements of this standard may differ from the national legal requirements for the declaration of the products concerned.
Where there is no legal requirement to use this method, for example in quantity control of packaged product, then it is permissible for any other methods to be used so long as these other methods can be demonstrated to be comparable with this standard method in giving the same quantity with the same precision.
Material which has become excessively wet and which cannot be easily broken down into a flowable material will not be suitable for the determination of quantity and may not give a representative result. However, because of the diverse nature and bulk density of these materials, it is not possible to quantify what is ‘excessive’.
This standard is intended to be used by manufacturers, buyers and enforcement agencies in verifying claims made for these products. It is not intended that it should necessarily be used for the purpose of manufacturing control.
Bodenverbesserungsmittel und Kultursubstrate - Bestimmung der Menge
Diese Europäische Norm legt Verfahren für die Bestimmung der Menge von Bodenverbesserungsmitteln und Kultursubstraten bei loser Lieferung (Liefermenge) und von Fertigpackungen (Füllmenge) fest. Dies ist ein Referenzverfahren, das mit einem geeigneten Präzisionsniveau gestaltet worden ist, damit es zur Validierung von Mengendeklarationen verwendet werden kann.
Diese Norm gilt für Material in fester Form, das erforderlichenfalls rekonstituiert ist, jedoch nicht für Blöcke, die als solche nach Maß verkauft werden, hierfür siehe EN 15761. Dieses Verfahren gilt nicht für Material mit über 10 % Volumenanteil an Korngrößen über 60 mm, hierfür siehe EN 15238.
Die Anforderungen dieser Norm können von den nationalen gesetzlichen Vorgaben bezüglich der Deklaration der erwähnten Produkte abweichen.
Falls es keine gesetzliche Anforderung gibt, dieses Verfahren anzuwenden, zum Beispiel in der Füllmengenkontrolle von verpackten Produkten, ist es erlaubt, jedes andere Verfahren anzuwenden, so lange gezeigt werden kann, dass diese anderen Verfahren die gleiche Menge mit der gleichen Präzision, bezogen auf diese Norm, ergeben.
Material, das übermäßig nass geworden ist und nicht einfach in rieselfähiges Material zerkleinert werden kann, ist nicht für die Bestimmung der Menge geeignet und wird auch kein repräsentatives analytisches Ergebnis liefern. Auf Grund der verschiedenartigen Natur und Schüttdichte dieser Materialien ist es jedoch nicht möglich, zu quantifizieren, was „übermäßig“ ist.
Dieses Verfahren ist zur Anwendung durch Hersteller, Käufer und Überwachungsbehörden zur Prüfung von Beanstandungen vorgesehen, die für diese Produkte vorgebracht worden sind. Es ist nicht vorgesehen, dass es zwangsläufig für Zwecke der Herstellungskontrolle angewendet werden sollte.
Amendements organiques et supports de culture - Détermination de la quantité
La présente Norme européenne décrit des méthodes de détermination de la quantité de support de culture ou d’amendement organique en vrac comme en emballage conditionné. Il s’agit d’une méthode de référence conçue avec un niveau de fidélité approprié, de sorte qu'elle peut être utilisée pour valider n'importe quelle déclaration de quantité.
La présente norme concerne les produits sous forme solide éventuellement reconstitués mais pas les produits sous forme de bloc vendu en l'état (pour ceux-ci, voir l’EN 15761). La présente méthode n’est pas applicable aux produits dont plus de 10 % (V/V) des particules ont une taille supérieure à 60 mm (pour ceux-ci, voir l’EN 15238).
Les exigences de la présente norme peuvent diverger par rapport aux législations nationales en ce qui concerne la déclaration des produits concernés.
Lorsqu’il n'y a aucune exigence légale d'utiliser la présente méthode, par exemple en termes de contrôle de la quantité de produit emballé, il est alors possible d'utiliser d'autres méthodes pourvu qu'elles permettent d’obtenir la même quantité avec la même fidélité que la présente méthode.
Un matériau excessivement humide et difficilement émiettable en un matériau fluide ne conviendra pas à la détermination de la quantité et peut ne pas donner un résultat représentatif. Cependant, en raison de variabilité de la nature et de la masse volumique apparente de ces matériaux, il n’est pas possible de quantifier ce qui est ‘excessif’.
La présente norme est destinée à être utilisée par les fabricants, les acheteurs et les organismes de contrôle chargés de vérifier les allégations à propos des produits. Il n'est pas prévu qu'elle doive nécessairement être utilisée à des fins de contrôle de fabrication.
Izboljševalci tal in rastni substrati - Določevanje količine
Ta evropski standard določa metode za določevanje količine izboljševalcev tal in rastnih substratov v razsutem ali zapakiranem stanju. To je referenčna metoda, ki je zasnovana z ustrezno ravnjo natančnosti, tako da se lahko uporabi za validacijo katere koli izjave o količini. Ta standard velja za material v trdni obliki, ki je po potrebi vnovič določen, vendar ne za kose, ki se prodajajo glede na velikost; za te glejte EN 15761. Ta metoda ne velja za material, ki ima več kot 10 % (V/V) delcev, večjih od 60 mm; za te glejte EN 15238. Zahteve iz tega standarda se lahko razlikujejo od nacionalnih zakonskih zahtev za deklaracijo zadevnih izdelkov. Če zakonska zahteva za uporabo te metode ne obstaja, na primer pri spremljanju količine pakiranega izdelka, se lahko uporabi katera koli druga metoda, vendar le, če je mogoče prikazati primerljivost teh drugih metod s to standardno metodo pri omogočanju enake količine z enako natančnostjo. Material, ki se je pretirano zmočil in ki se ne more enostavno razgraditi v pretočen material, ni primeren za določanje količine in morda ne bo dal reprezentativnega rezultata. Zaradi različne narave in prostorninske gostote teh materialov ni mogoče določiti, kaj je »pretirano«. Ta standard je namenjen za proizvajalce, kupce in organe pregona pri overjanju izjav za te izdelke. Ni nujno namenjen le za namene spremljanja proizvodnje.

The article discusses the European standard EN 12580:2013, which provides methods for determining the quantity of soil improvers and growing media both in bulk and in packages. This standard is designed to have a precise level of accuracy that can be used to validate quantity declarations. However, it does not apply to blocks sold as they are by dimension or materials with more than 10% of particles larger than 60 mm. The requirements of this standard may differ from national legal requirements. If there is no legal requirement to use this standard, alternative methods can be used as long as they are comparable in giving the same quantity with the same precision. Material that is excessively wet and cannot be easily broken down into a flowable material may not be suitable for quantity determination. The standard is intended for use by manufacturers, buyers, and enforcement agencies in verifying product claims, but not for manufacturing control purposes.
이 기사는 EN 12580:2013을 다루고 있으며, 이는 흙 개선제와 재배재료의 양을 대량 및 패키지 상태에서 결정하기 위한 방법을 규정한 유럽 표준입니다. 이는 양 선언을 검증할 수 있을 정도의 적절한 정확도로 설계된 참조 방법입니다. 이 표준은 고형 형태의 물질에 적용되며 필요한 경우 재구성되며 비교적으로 큰 블록에는 적용되지 않습니다. 이러한 경우 EN 15761을 참조하십시오. 이 방법은 60mm 이상의 입자를 10% 이상 가지고 있는 물질에 대해서도 적용되지 않습니다. 이러한 경우 EN 15238을 참조하십시오. 이 표준의 요구사항은 해당 제품의 선언을 위한 국가법과 다를 수 있습니다. 패키지 된 제품의 양 통제와 같은 경우 이 방법을 사용하는 법적인 요구사항이 없다면, 같은 양과 정확도를 가지는 다른 방법이라면 사용해도 괜찮습니다. 과도하게 젖어 있는 물질은 유동성이 없어 양을 결정하는 데 적합하지 않을 수 있으며, 대표적인 결과를 제공하지 못할 수 있습니다. 그러나 이러한 물질들의 복합적인 성질과 밀도 때문에 '과도한'이라는 것을 정량화할 수는 없습니다. 이 표준은 제조업자, 구매자 및 단속기관이 제품에 대한 주장을 검증하는 데 사용할 수 있도록 의도되었습니다. 그러나 제조 통제를 위한 목적으로 필수적으로 사용되어야 하는 것은 아닙니다.
この記事は、EN 12580:2013について述べており、これは土壌改良剤および育成用培地の量を大量およびパッケージで決定するための方法を規定している欧州規格です。この規格は、任意の量宣言を検証するために使用できる適切な精度レベルで設計された基準方法です。 この規格は、固形の形態である材料に適用されますが、必要に応じて再構成されますが、寸法によってそのまま販売されるブロックには適用されません。これに関してはEN 15761を参照してください。この方法は、粒径が60mmより大きい粒子の割合が10％を超える材料には適用されません。これに関してはEN 15238を参照してください。 この規格の要件は、関連する製品の国家的な法的要件とは異なる場合があります。 法的要件にこの方法を使用する必要がない場合、例えばパッケージされた製品の数量管理の場合、同等の数量と同等の精度を提供することが証明できる他の方法を使用することも許可されます。 過度に湿った材料で流動性がなく、量の決定に適さない場合があり、代表的な結果を提供しない場合があります。ただし、これらの材料の多様な性質や体積密度のため、「過度」なとは具体的に定量化することはできません。 この規格は、製造業者、購入者、および取り締まり機関が製品の主張を検証するために使用することが意図されていますが、製造制御の目的で必ずしも使用する必要はありません。
