Overview
SIST-TS CEN/TS 17766:2023 is a technical specification that outlines a standardized method for the extraction of elements from organic and organo-mineral fertilizers using water. This procedure enables laboratories and quality control professionals to prepare fertilizer extracts suitable for precise elemental analysis, supporting regulation, safety, and environmental protection. The method aligns with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) goals, ensuring harmonized practices across the fertilizer industry.
This method is particularly designed for use with organic and organo-mineral fertilizers, ensuring the reliable comparison and validation of results across various testing facilities. Extracts prepared using this standard are specifically suitable for determination of elements with methods such as those detailed in CEN/TS 17774. It also offers flexibility for the use of other analytical techniques, such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), if validated for equivalence.
Key Topics
- Scope and Applicability: Covers water extraction procedures for organic and organo-mineral fertilizers, with application in subsequent elemental analysis.
- Sample Preparation: Emphasizes accurate sampling, weighing, and handling, referencing EN 1482 for guidance on preparing fertilizer samples.
- Water Extraction Process: Describes the use of distilled or demineralized water, standardized shaking with a rotary shaker, and filtration through phosphate-free filters.
- Analytical Compatibility: The extracts produced are suitable for further analysis using CEN/TS 17774 methods, or alternative methods like ICP-MS if validated.
- Storage and Stability: Offers guidance on storing extracts at controlled temperatures for up to two days prior to element determination, preserving sample integrity.
Applications
SIST-TS CEN/TS 17766:2023 is valuable for various stakeholders in the fertilizer sector, including:
- Testing Laboratories: Ensuring consistent and repeatable extraction of elements from organic and organo-mineral fertilizers for quality control and compliance purposes.
- Fertilizer Manufacturers: Supporting internal product testing to meet European and national regulatory requirements.
- Agricultural Quality Assurance: Enabling analysis of fertilizer content for improved safety and environmental compliance, supporting sustainable agriculture practices.
- Regulatory Authorities: Providing a harmonized method for sample preparation and analysis, facilitating market surveillance and enforcement of fertilizer standards.
- Environmental Monitoring: Assisting in studies related to soil health, nutrient management, and the environmental impact of fertilizer use.
This technical specification ensures that laboratories can reliably analyze fertilizers, enabling transparency, product safety, and consumer confidence.
