| Typology | Description | Minimum micronutrient content |
|---|---|---|
| Micronutrient salt fertiliser | A chemically obtained straight solid inorganic micronutrient fertiliser containing a mineral ion salt as its essential ingredient | 10 % by mass of micronutrient salt fertiliser shall consist of a water-soluble micronutrient |
| Micronutrient oxide or hydroxide fertiliser | A chemically obtained straight solid inorganic micronutrient fertiliser containing oxide or hydroxide as its essential ingredient | 10 % by mass of a micronutrient oxide or hydroxide fertiliser shall consist of a micronutrient |
| Micronutrient-based fertiliser | A straight inorganic micronutrient fertiliser combining a micronutrient salt fertiliser with one or more other micronutrient salt fertilisers and/or with a single micronutrient chelate | 5 % by mass of a micronutrient-based fertiliser shall consist of a micronutrient |
| Micronutrient solution fertiliser | An aqueous solution of different forms of a straight inorganic micronutrient fertiliser | 2 % by mass of a micronutrient solution fertiliser shall consist of a water-soluble micronutrient |
| Micronutrient suspension fertiliser | A suspension of different forms of a straight inorganic micronutrient fertiliser | 2 % by mass of a micronutrient suspension fertiliser shall consist of a micronutrient |
| Micronutrient chelate fertiliser | A water-soluble straight inorganic micronutrient fertiliser in which the declared micronutrient is chemically combined with chelating agent(s) fulfilling the requirements of CMC 1 in Part II of Annex II |
|
| UVCBf1 iron chelates | A water-soluble straight inorganic micronutrient fertiliser in which the declared iron is chemically combined with chelating agent(s) fulfilling the requirements of CMC 1 in Part II of Annex II |
|
| Micronutrient complex fertiliser | A water-soluble straight inorganic micronutrient fertiliser in which the declared micronutrient is chemically combined with complexing agent(s) fulfilling the requirements of CMC 1 in Part II of Annex II |
