This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 13 March 2022 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to
submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway,
Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and

Introduction
Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 [1] lays down the rules on the making available on the market of EU
fertilizing products and the specific safety and quality requirements for the defined product function
categories (PFCs). Inorganic fertilizers have been classified into PFC 1(C).
The specific safety and quality requirements in relation to the following specific nutrients are defined in
this document as well as normative references of the test methods to be used in order to measure the
compliance with the related requirement in the Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 [1].

1 Scope
This document specifies references to methods for the determination of the content of the following
specific nutrients in inorganic fertilizers:
— the total nitrogen content;
— the ammoniacal nitrogen content;
— the nitric nitrogen content;
— the urea nitrogen content;
— the content of nitrogen from isobutylidenediurea (IBDU) and crotonylidenediurea (CDU);
— the cyanamide nitrogen content;
— the methylene-urea nitrogen content (and urea formaldehyde, if applicable);
— the total phosphorus content;
— the water-soluble phosphorus content;
— the neutral ammonium citrate soluble phosphorus content;
— the water-soluble potassium content;
— the total magnesium content;
— the water-soluble magnesium content;
— the total calcium content;
— the water-soluble calcium content;
— the total sulfur content;
— the water-soluble sulfur content;
— the total sodium content;
— the water-soluble sodium content.
This document is applicable to EU fertilizing products classified as PFC 1(C) and PFC 7 as long as the
