Overview
CEN/TS 17751:2022 is a CEN Technical Specification for the determination of specific parameters in ammonium nitrate fertilizers of high nitrogen content. It specifies the normative references and test methods to assess key quality and safety attributes required by Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 for products classified as PFC 1(C)(I)(a)(i-ii)(A) and certain blends including PFC 7. The document links sampling and sample‑preparation requirements with the referenced analytical methods and is intended for provisional application (initially limited to three years).
Key topics and requirements
- Parameters covered
- Nitrogen content originating from ammonium nitrate (use EN 15475:2009 or EN 15476:2009)
- pH of a solution of the ammonium nitrate fertilizer (see CEN/TS 17759:2022)
- Particle size distribution (see CEN/TS 17760:2022)
- Chloride content (see CEN/TS 17761:2022)
- Copper content (see CEN/TS 17762:2022)
- Sampling and sample preparation
- Sampling must be representative according to EN 1482-1:2007; static heap sampling per EN 1482-3:2016; sample preparation per EN 1482-2:2007.
- Scope / applicability
- Intended for EU fertilizing products classified under relevant PFCs and for blends that only contain permitted PFC types while still meeting PFC 1(C) requirements.
- Safety note
- Use involves hazardous materials and equipment; users must adopt appropriate safety practices.
Applications and users
This Technical Specification is primarily used by:
- Fertilizer manufacturers for in‑house quality control and formulation verification of high‑nitrogen ammonium nitrate products.
- Testing and analytical laboratories performing compliance testing (nitrogen, pH, particle size, chloride, copper).
- Regulatory bodies and conformity assessors verifying EU market requirements under Regulation (EU) 2019/1009.
- Supply chain stakeholders (importers, distributors, certifying bodies) who need documented test methods to demonstrate product compliance and safety. Practical applications include product labeling, batch release testing, audit evidence for market placement, and investigating quality deviations.
