SCHEDULE 1 — PRESCRIBED DESCRIPTIONS OF MATERIAL, MEANINGS OF NAMES, PARTICULARS AND INFORMATION TO BE CONTAINED IN THE STATUTORY STATEMENT AND LIMITS OF VARIATION

Limits of variation

1

The limits of variation prescribed in this Schedule shall be the permitted deviations of the measured from the declared content of a nutrient, secondary nutrient or trace element, or of the measured from the declared neutralising value, or of the measured from the declared amount of material passing through a specified sieve.

2

Save as prescribed in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8, the limits of variation shall be those set out in the fifth column of the following table.

3

In Section B and Group 2 of Section C of the following table the negative limits of variation specified individually for N, P₂O₅ and K₂O are those permitted for each nutrient taken separately and the limits of variation for the total nutrient content of a fertiliser shall be the sum of the negative deviations from the declared content.

4

No limits of variation shall be permitted in respect of the minimum and maximum contents specified in the third column of the following table, save those prescribed in paragraph 6.

5

Where no maximum limit is specified in the third column of the following table, no limits of variation are prescribed as respects an excess of nutrient, neutralising value or amount of material passing through a specified sieve above the declared value or amount, save those prescribed in paragraph 7(b).

6

In the case of materials in Groups 1 to 4 of Section B and Group 2 of Section C of the following table which ... are sold or offered for sale, and where the declared content of one or more of the nutrients falls below the following levels:

the limit of variation for the declared nutrient in such cases shall be that specified in the sixth column of the following table.

7

The limits of variation permitted in respect of the declared content for the forms of nitrogen or the declared solubilities of phosphorus pentoxide shall be as follows:

(a) except as provided in sub-paragraph (b) of this paragraph, the limit of variation shall be one-tenth of the overall content of the nutrient concerned, with a maximum of 2 % by weight:

Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

1These Regulations, which apply throughout Great Britain, re-enact with amendments the Fertilisers Regulations 1990. They implement the Directives listed in paragraph 2 below and incorporate changes in the law which are described in paragraph 5 below.

2The Directives implemented are—Council Directive 76/116/EEC (OJ No. L24, 30.1.76, p.21) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to fertilisers;Council Directive 80/876/EEC (OJ No. L250, 23.9.80, p.7) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to straight ammonium nitrate fertilisers of high nitrogen content;Council Directive 88/183/EEC (OJ No. L83, 29.3.88, p.33) amending Directive 76/116/EEC in respect of fluid fertilisers;Council Directive 89/284/EEC (OJ No. L111, 22.4.89, p.34) supplementing and amending Directive 76/116/EEC in respect of the calcium, magnesium, sodium and sulphur content of fertilisers;Council Directive 89/530/EEC (OJ No. L281, 30.9.89, p.116) supplementing and amending Directive 76/116/EEC in respect of the trace elements boron, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc contained in fertilisers.

3The Regulations specify the requirements which must be met before materials may be designated and sold as EEC fertilisers and apply also to materials intended for use as fertilisers which are not so designated (regulations 2 and 3). They prescribe names for and descriptions of such materials (regulations 4 and 5 and Schedule 1) and particulars and information to be given in the statutory statements required by law to be provided when such materials are sold for such use (regulation 5 and Schedule 2). The marking and labelling of materials held for sale are controlled by regulation 8 and Schedule 2.

4Special provision for the marking of certain imported materials is made in regulation 9. Regulation 10 provides for the use in certain cases of a mark, the meaning of which can be ascertained from a register kept in accordance with that regulation. The enforcement of certain provisions is provided for in regulation 11 and the use of metric measures in the sampling of materials is specified in regulation 12. Provisions in respect of EEC fluid fertilisers are to be found in regulations 4(1) and (5), 7(c), 9(c) and 10(1)(c), Section C of Schedule 1 and Part I of Schedule 2.

5The principal changes in the law consist of provisions relating to the declaration of the calcium, magnesium, sodium and sulphur content of EEC fertilisers and the incorporation in EEC fertilisers and declaration of the trace elements boron, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. These provisions are to be found in regulations 1(4) (interpretation) and 2(4) (packaging), Schedule 1 (Sections D and E) and Schedule 2, paragraphs 1(k), (l) and (m), 6 and 7. Provision is also made in the Table in Schedule 1 for EEC fertilisers kieserite with potassium sulphate and calcium nitrate solution.

6The Regulations come into force on 1st November 1991, but subject to regulation 1(2) in the case of material, not designated as an EEC fertiliser, sold or offered for sale loose or in large containers before 1st June 1992 or in small containers before 1st February 1993.
