BS EN 12944-3 is part third of a multi-series standard that covers fertilizers and liming materials. It details terms relating to liming materials which ensure the standardization of vocabulary for liming materials across all value chains.
BS EN 12944-3 defines terms relating to liming materials. BS EN 12944-3 specifies an index of all terms defined in EN 12944 with their French and German equivalents in Annex A.
BS EN 12944-3 provides a general index of all terms defined in all three parts of EN 12944 with their French and German equivalents which are given in Annex B.
BS EN 12944-3 on vocabulary for liming materials applies to:
Liming materials in agricultural applications enhance water retention, reduce soil erosion and enhances the physical structure of the soil. Lime treatment improves root penetration and water percolation through the soil, allowing crops to better withstand drought and/or rainy conditions.
BS EN 12944-3 provides you guidance on vocabulary for products of the production, physical or physico-chemical properties, liming effect, agricultural and environment liming purposes which enables standardization of vocabulary for processes related to liming materials.
Guidance in BS EN 12944-3 allows you to standardize the vocabulary related to liming materials across all the manufacturing value chains, which is in line with the international norms.
