BS EN 15451 is a European standard that serves technical specifications for determining iron chelated by EDDHSA, ensuring the ready availability of iron in plant-available form.
BS EN 15451 specifies a method for the chromatographic determination of the total amount of iron chelated by EDDHSA in commercial products.
BS EN 15451 on determining iron chelated by EDDHSA applies to:
Chelated iron fertilisers, in which the iron is mixed with an organic molecule known as a chelate, which helps preserve the iron in a plant-available state, are the best choice for soil application. A chelator is used to preserve iron from oxidation, prevent it from draining out of the soil, and keep it in a form that plants can utilise.
BS EN 15451 provides users guidance on the ion-pair chromatographic method for the determination of iron chelated by EDDHSA. BS EN 15451 also provides users with a step-by-step procedure for the method, enabling users to do the method correctly.
BS EN 15451 provides users guidance on principle, interferences, reagents, apparatus, sampling, sample preparation, procedure, expression of results, precision, and test report, enabling the accurate determination of iron chelated in commercial products.
With obedience and compliance of BS EN 15451, users can determine iron chelated by EDDHSA, ensuring chemical stability, easy absorption and prevention of iron deficiency in agricultural applications.
BS EN 15451:2008 supersedes DD CEN/TS 15451:2006, which is now withdrawn.
