This document specifies a method for the determination of the chloride content in ammonium nitrate fertilizers of high nitrogen content. This document is applicable to the fertilizing products blends where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following components: fertilizers, liming materials, soil improvers, growing media, inhibitors, plant biostimulants, and where the following category: inorganic fertilizers is the highest % in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If inorganic fertilizer is not the highest % in the blend, the European Standard for the highest % of the blend applies. In case a fertilizing product blend is composed of components in equal quantity, the user decides which standard to apply. Variations in analytical methods for fertilizing product blends can lead to differing results as some components or matrix interactions can affect the outcome. Validation procedures have shown that developed standard methods are robust and reliable across diverse product compositions, but possible interferences and unexpected results when analysing fertilizing product blends are possible.

This document is applicable to the sampling of solid fertilizers and liming materials that have a uniform composition and have no tendency to segregate. NOTE 1 The term product is used throughout the body of this document and is understood to include fertilizers, liming materials and inhibitors unless otherwise indicated. NOTE 2 Manufacturers, importers and sellers can choose to use this method to obtain samples of other products or blends as well as long as both parties to a transaction agree. The build-up of a static heap often leads to granulometric segregation, which makes the collection of a truly representative sample of many products and blends unlikely. NOTE 3 It is the responsibility of manufacturers, importers and sellers, however, to ensure they supply a product that complies with its label declaration at the moment of delivery and fulfils the expectations of the end user at the moment of application. NOTE 4 A method of obtaining a screening sample from a static heap can be found in Annex B.
