Cork — Sustainable management in cork oak (Quercus suber L.) forests
Käsitlusala:
This document provides guidance to manage cork oak forests in a sustainable way.
This document provides orientation for protecting cork oak forest while allowing appropriate use of the resources. It describes practices mainly focused on cork production while promoting cork oak forest regeneration, multiple benefits and mitigating global change.

High nitrogen content, straight ammonium nitrate fertilizers -- Determination or oil retention
Käsitlusala:
The result of the method is a measure for the porosity of the material. The method is applicable to substances which do not contain materials soluble in gas oil and which are prilled or granular. It consists in total immersing of a test portion in gas oil for a specified period, followed by the draining away and the removal of surplus gas oil under specified conditions, and measuring of the increase in mass of the test portion.

Organic and organo-mineral fertilizers - Determination of specific parameters
Käsitlusala:
This document specifies references to the methods for the determination of the following parameters in organic and organo-mineral fertilizers:
— Determination of the total organic carbon content;
— Determination of the dry matter content.
The method for the determination of the total organic carbon is not applicable to products containing urea-formaldehyde polymers or urea as long as there is no method available to assess carbon in urea-formaldehyde polymers or urea. The carbon contained in these compounds is not considered organic [1].
The scope of the standards referenced in this document specifies in which cases the method is also applicable to fertilizing product blends.

Organic and organo-mineral fertilizers - Determination of chromium(VI) content
Käsitlusala:
This document specifies a method for the determination of hexavalent chromium (chromium(VI)) in organic and organo-mineral fertilizers.
The method specified is suitable to quantify the chromium(VI) content in organic and organo-mineral fertilizers down to 2 mg/kg dry matter.
The results obtained from this method are strictly dependent on the extraction conditions. Results obtained by using other extraction procedures (extraction solution, pH of the extraction solution, extraction time, extraction temperature, etc.) are not comparable with the results produced by the procedure described in this document.
This document is applicable to 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 organic matter is present in at least one of the products in the blend. In case a fertilizing product blend is composed only of inorganic products, the European Standard for inorganic fertilizers or liming materials applies. 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.
