BS EN 14984:2016 specifies two methods (method A and method B) of measuring the effect of the addition
of any material claimed to have a liming effect on the soil, using the same basic principles.Method A measures the changes to the soil pH resulting from the addition of any material claimed to
have a liming effect on a standard soil, measured over a period of one month.Method B assesses the efficiency of any material claimed to have a liming effect, using a range of defined
soils and measured over a period of up to 2,5 years.The methods are not applicable to mineral products coarser than 6,3 mm for method A or 20 mm for
method B, determined according to EN 12948.NOTE These methods allow comparison of products under controlled climatic conditions but do not replace
field experiments.Cross References:EN 1482-1EN 1482-3EN 12048ISO 8190:1992EN 12049ISO 8189:1992EN 12945EN 12948EN 13040EN ISO 3696ISO 3696ISO 3310-1ISO 3310-2ISO 10390:2005ISO 11272ISO 11277ISO 11465ISO 14235NF X31-130EN 13971ISO 5725-1:1994ISO 5725-2:1994ISO 11274All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
