Annotation of standard text ČSN EN 17703 (655004):

This document specifies a method for verifying that hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is not present in plant biostimulants.

This document is applicable to all types of plant biostimulants (solid and liquid) used in agriculture.

The method specified is suitable to quantify the chromium (VI) content in plant biostimulants down to 2 mg/kg.

The results obtained from this method are strictly dependent on the extraction conditions. Results obtained by using other extraction procedures (extraction solution, pH, extraction time, etc.) are not comparable with the results produced by the procedure specified in this document.

This document is applicable to the blends of fertilizing products where a blend is a mix of at least two of the following component EU fertilising products: Fertilizers, Liming Materials, Soil Improvers, Growing Media, Inhibitors, Plant Biostimulants and where the following category Plant Biostimulants is the highest percentage in the blend by mass or volume, or in the case of liquid form by dry mass. If Plant Biostimulants is not the highest percentage in the blend, the European Standard for the highest percentage of the blend applies. In case a blend of fertilizing products is composed of components in equal quantity or in case the component EU fertilising products used for the blend have identical formulations, the user decides which standard to apply
