18、ation (EC) No 2003/2003 1.This European Standard is part of a modular approach and concerns the analytical measurement step. “Modular” means that a test standard concerns a specific step in assessing a property and not the whole chain of measurement.The determination of molybdenum in fertilizers can
19、 be executed by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) according to EN 16963. The spectrophotometric determination of the complex with ammonium thiocyanate is more labour intensive and skill demanding but it is an option when ICP-AES is not available. More attention should
20、 be paid to organic matter removal and interferences from extract colour. The procedure for removal of organic matter from the extracts is specified in EN 16962, which also describes the modification of the extraction procedure using acidification with hydrochloric acid instead of nitric acid.WARNIN
21、G Persons using this European Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate health and safety practices and to en
22、sure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. IMPORTANT It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this European Standard are carried out by suitably trained staff. ivBS EN 17043:2018EN 17043:2018 (E)1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies a method for determination of t
