This method is applicable to EC fertilizer extracts obtained according to EN 15960 and EN 15961, for which a declaration of the to
19、tal magnesium and/or water soluble magnesium content is required, with the exceptions of the following fertilizers according to 4, Annex I D relating to secondary nutrients: type 4 (kieserite); type 5 (magnesium sulfate) and type 5.1 (magnesium sulfate solution); and with the exception of the follow
20、ing fertilizer listed in 4, Annex I A.3 relating to potassic fertilizers: type 7 (kieserite with potassium sulfate) to which 4, method 8.8, applies. NOTE Method 8.8 is covered by EN 16198 2. The method applies to all fertilizer extracts containing elements in quantities that might interfere with the
21、 complexometric determination of magnesium. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.
