Fertilizers - Determination of boron in concentrations ≤ 10 % using spectrometry with azomethine-H

This document specifies the procedure for determination of total and water extractable boron in mineral fertilizers containing less than or equal to 10 % boron using spectrometry with azomethine-H. The method is not suitable for fertilizers with Fe concentrations more than twenty times higher than the concentration of boron.

Düngemittel - Bestimmung von Bor in Konzentrationen ≤ 10 % durch Spektrometrie mit Azomethin-H

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung von Gesamtbor und aus Wasser extrahierbarem Bor in mineralischen Düngemitteln fest, die weniger oder gleich 10 % Bor enthalten. Das Verfahren eignet sich nicht für Düngemittel mit Fe-Konzentrationen, die mehr als zwanzig Mal höher sind als die Konzentration an Bor.
Die Extraktionsverfahren sind in prEN 16962 und/oder prEN 16964 festgelegt.
Das Verfahren kann auch für die Bestimmung von Bor in mineralischen Düngemitteln, die mehr als 10 % Bor enthalten, nach entsprechender Verdünnung der Extrakte verwendet werden.

Engrais - Dosage du bore dans des concentrations ≤ 10 % par spectrométrie avec l'azomethine-H

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode pour le dosage du bore total et du bore extractible à l’eau dans des engrais minéraux contenant au plus 10 % de bore. La méthode ne convient pas pour les engrais ayant des concentrations en Fe supérieures à vingt fois la concentration en bore.
Cette méthode est applicable aux extraits d’engrais aqueux et à l’eau régale préparés conformément à l’EN 16962 et/ou à l’EN 16964.
La méthode peut également être utilisée pour le dosage du bore dans des engrais minéraux contenant plus de 10 % de bore après une dilution appropriée des extraits.

Gnojila - Določevanje bora v koncentracijah, manjših ali enakih 10 %, s spektrometrijo z azometinom-H

Ta dokument določa postopek za določevanje skupne vsebnosti bora in bora, ki ga je mogoče ekstrahirati z vodo, v mineralnih gnojilih, ki vsebujejo manj kot oziroma 10 % bora, s spektrometrijo z azometinom-H. Metoda ni primerna za gnojila s koncentracijami Fe, ki za več kot 20-krat presegajo koncentracijo bora.
