EN 12945:2002 (E)3ForewordThis document EN 12945:2002 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 260 "Fertilizers and limingmaterials", the secretariat of which is held by DIN.This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text orby endorsement, at the latest by November 2002, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latestby November 2002.Annex A is informative.According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the followingcountries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain,Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.



EN 12945:2002 (E)4IntroductionTwo different procedures are described (method A and method B) because the titration to pH 7,0 is not applicableto silicate liming materials due to the precipitation of compounds at this pH value.In method B the turning point at pH 4,8 on the titration curve is taken as the end-point of the titration. Forcarbonaceous liming materials the difference in the consumption of sodium hydroxide solution for back titrationbetween the titration end-points of pH 4,8 and pH 7,0 is negligible.1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies two methods for the determination of the neutralizing value (NV) of limingmaterials.Method A is applicable to liming materials except silicate liming materials and liming materials with more than 3 %P2O5.Method B is applicable to all liming materials except those with more than 3 % P2O5.NOTEThe methods described in ISO 6598 and ISO 7497 can be used for the determination of P2O5 content.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.
