Paragraph 15

Ammonium nitrate (1,250/5,000): fertiliser grade

This applies to straight ammonium nitrate-based fertilisers and to ammonium nitrate-based compound/composite fertilisers which fulfil the requirements of Annex III-2 to Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 and in which the nitrogen content as a result of ammonium nitrate is—

(a)

more than 24.5% by weight, except for mixtures of straight ammonium nitrate based fertilisers with dolomite, limestone and/or calcium carbonate with a purity of at least 90%;

(b)

more than 15.75% by weight for mixtures of ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate;

(c)

more than 28%M1 by weight for mixtures of straight ammonium nitrate-based fertilisers with dolomite, limestone and/or calcium carbonate with a purity of at least 90%.

Annotations

M1: 28% nitrogen content by weight as a result of ammonium nitrate corresponds to 80% ammonium nitrate.
