This document gives guidance on a consistent approach to justify the claims associated with the use of plant biostimulants.

This document is aimed primarily at manufacturers, laboratories, researchers, technical centres and companies that intend to place plant biostimulants on the market, as well as notifying authorities, notified bodies, and market surveillance authorities.

To be in compliance with this standard, it is important to also follow the recommendations and quality criteria described in the standard EN 17700‑1:2024 on general principles to demonstrate plant biostimulant claims.
