Inorganic fertilizers

Arrêté du […] modifiant l'arrêté du 5 septembre 2003 portant mise en application obligatoire de normes (Order of […] amending the Order of 5 September 2003 laying down the compulsory implementation of standards) (4 pages, in French)

The notified Interministerial Order provides for the compulsory implementation of a supplement to a standard on inorganic fertilizers.

This measure is an exemption from the marketing authorization referred to in Article L. 255-2 of the Rural and Maritime Fisheries Code and is provided for in Article L. 255-5(1) thereof.

This draft provides for the compulsory implementation of Amendment A2 to existing Standard NF U42-001-1 (October 2011) on inorganic fertilizers. As Regulation (EC) No. 2003/2003 has been repealed and replaced by Regulation (EU) No. 2019/1009, this amendment updates approved Standard NF U42-001-1:2011 and its Amendment A1, both of which refer to the repealed Regulation. Particular attention has been given to the requirement that CE-marked fertilizers used as inputs comply with the requirements for components indicated in the "Method of production and main component(s)" column for the type designations listed in Standard NF U42-001-1/A2.
