EN 17043:2018 (E) 3 European foreword This document (EN 17043:2018) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 260 “Fertilizers and liming materials”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2018, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2018. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

EN 17043:2018 (E) 4 Introduction The preparation of this document by CEN is based on a mandate by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association (Mandate M/335), concerning the modernization of methods of analysis of fertilizers in the framework of Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 [1]. This European Standard is part of a modular approach and concerns the analytical measurement step. “Modular” means that a test standard concerns a specific step in assessing a property and not the whole chain of measurement. The determination of molybdenum in fertilizers can be executed by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) according to EN 16963. The spectrophotometric determination of the complex with ammonium thiocyanate is more labour intensive and skill demanding but it is an option when ICP-AES is not available. More attention should be paid to organic matter removal and interferences from extract colour. The procedure for removal of organic matter from the extracts is specified in EN 16962, which also describes the modification of the extraction procedure using acidification with hydrochloric acid instead of nitric acid. WARNING — Persons using this European Standard should be familiar with normal laboratory practice. This European Standard does not purport to address all of the safety issues, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate health and safety practices and to ensure compliance with any national regulatory conditions. IMPORTANT — It is absolutely essential that tests conducted according to this European Standard are carried out by suitably trained staff. SIST EN 17043:2018
EN 17043:2018 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a method for determination of total and water extractable molybdenum in mineral fertilizers containing less than or equal to 10 % molybdenum.

The complex is extracted into n-butyl acetate. Interfering ions such as iron remain in the aqueous phase. The yellow-orange coloured complex is determined spectrophotometrically at 470 nm. 5 Sampling and sample preparation Sampling is not part of the method specified in this document. A recommended sampling method is given in EN 1482-1 [2]. Sample preparation shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482-2. The sample extracts shall be prepared in accordance with EN 16962 and/or EN 16964. 6 Reagents All reagents shall be of recognized analytical grade and shall have negligible concentration of molybdenum if compared to the lowest concentration of that element in the sample solution. 6.1 Water, grade 2 according to EN ISO 3696 and free from molybdenum.
