1 Scope
This document specifies a potentiometric method for the determination of chloride
(Cl-) content in the presence or in the absence of organic material. This method is applicable
to plant biostimulants.
This document is applicable to the blends of fertilizing products where a blend is
a mix of at least two of the following component EU fertilising products categories:
Fertilizers, Liming Materials, Soil Improvers, Growing Media, Inhibitors, Plant Biostimulants,
and where the following category Plant Biostimulants is the highest % in the blend
by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If Plant Biostimulants
is not the highest % in the blend, the European Standard for the highest % of the
blend applies. In case a blend of fertilizing products is composed of components in
equal quantity or in case the component EU fertilising products used for the blend
have identical formulations1, the user decides which standard to apply.
