Overview
In order to check compliance with the related requirements of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 [1] methods have to be specified in standards. In this document the method for obtaining a sample from organic fertilizers, organo-mineral fertilizers and inorganic fertilizers containing more than 1 % by mass of organic carbon to detect levels of microbial presence is specified. Any set of segment samples collected by following the procedures described in this standard is considered to be representative of the sampled portion. The responsible national standardization committee is Working Committee NA 057-03-02 AA "Düngemittel" ("Fertilizers") at DIN Standards Committee Food and Agricultural Products (NAL).
