The following information shall be provided:

1. (a)

   the declared primary nutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) or potassium (K), by their chemical symbols in the order N-P-K;

2. (b)

   the declared secondary nutrients calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), or sulphur (S) by their chemical symbols in the order Ca-Mg-Na-S;

3. (c)

   numbers indicating the content of the declared nutrients total nitrogen (N), total phosphorus in the form of phosphorus pentoxide (P₂O₅) or total potassium in the form of potassium oxide (K₂O), followed by numbers in brackets indicating the total content of calcium oxide (CaO), magnesium oxide (MgO), sodium oxide (Na₂O) or sulphur trioxide (SO₃);

4. (d)

   the content of the following declared nutrients and other parameters, in the following order and as % by mass:

   1. (i)

      nitrogen (N):

      • total nitrogen (N);

      • minimum amount of organic nitrogen (N_org), followed by a description of the origin of the organic matter used;

      • nitrogen in the form of ammoniacal nitrogen;

   2. (ii)

      total phosphorus pentoxide (P₂O₅);

   3. (iii)

      total potassium oxide (K₂O);

   4. (iv)

      calcium oxide (CaO), magnesium oxide (MgO), sodium oxide (Na₂O) and sulphur trioxide (SO₃), expressed:

      • where those nutrients are totally soluble in water, only as the content soluble in water;

      • where the soluble content of those nutrients is at least a quarter of the total content of those nutrients, as the total content and as the content soluble in water;

      • in other cases, as the total content;

   5. (v)

      organic carbon (C_org);

   6. (vi)

      dry matter;

5. (e)

   the ratio of organic carbon to total nitrogen (C_org/N);

6. (f)

   production date;

7. (g)

   the form of the physical unit of the product, such as powder or pellets, if applicable.
