Division 13 Ammonium nitrate (5 000 / 10 000): fertilisers capable of self-sustaining decomposition
United Kingdom
This applies to ammonium nitrate-based compound/composite fertilisers (compound/composite fertilisers contain ammonium nitrate with phosphate and/or potash) which are capable of self-sustaining decomposition according to the UN Trough Test (see UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.2), and in which the nitrogen content as a result of ammonium nitrate is
-
between 15,75 %f1 and 24,5 %f2 by weight, and either with not more than 0,4 % total combustible/organic materials or which fulfil the requirements of Annex III-2 to Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 relating to fertilisersf3,
-
15,75 % by weight or less and unrestricted combustible materials.
