scope:

This European Standard specifies sampling plans and methods of representative sampling of fertilizers and liming materials to obtain samples for physical and chemical analysis, from packages and containers up to and including 1 000 kg, from fluid products and from fertilizers in bulk provided the product is in motion.
It is applicable to the sampling of lots of fertilizer or liming material supplied or ready for supply to third parties, as such, or in smaller lots, each of which would be subject to local, national or regional legislation. Where legislation so requires, samples are taken in accordance with this European Standard.
NOTE The term fertilizer is used throughout the body of this European Standard and should be taken to include liming materials unless otherwise indicated.
This European Standard does not cover complete, statistical sampling plans.
