BS EN 15604 is a standard that serves technical specifications for determining nitric, ammoniacal, urea and cyanamide nitrogen in fertilizers, enabling growth promotion for improved crop yields.
BS EN 15604 specifies a method for the determination of any one form of nitrogen in the presence of any other form.
BS EN 15604 method is applicable to any fertilizer provided for in Annex I of the Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 containing nitrogen in various forms.
BS EN 15604 on Nitric, ammoniacal, urea and cyanamide nitrogen in fertilizers applies to:
Nitrogen-based fertilisers assist crop plants in growing faster and producing more crops. Fertilized land yields more food, allowing the agricultural area to be used more efficiently.
BS EN 15604 provides users guidance on a method for the determination of nitrogen in fertilizers. BS EN 15604 also provides users with a step-by-step procedure for the method, enabling users to do the method correctly.
BS EN 15604 provides users guidance on principle, reagents, apparatus, sampling, sample preparation, procedure, verification of results, and test report, enabling users to accurately determine the nitrogen content in fertilizers.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 15604, users can develop and assess fertilizers to determine the content of nitrogen, ensuring optimum nutrition for growth promotion for improved crop yields.
BS EN 15604:2009 supersedes DD CEN/TS 15604:2007, which is now withdrawn.
