Agricultural soil is an invaluable and limited resource, whose current agronomic potential is due to human-developed work for centuries. The irreversible degradation of this resource involves not only destroying the most precious good of the farmers, but also mortgaging the agricultural opportunities of future generations. For this reason, soil protection is a priority objective in a good subscriber, to ensure its fertility and its agronomic value, present and future.

The emergence of new products containing nutrients for plants and fertilizer capacity should not be allowed to forget their possible impact on the health and safety of people and the environment, that the use of new ingredients in the manufacture of fertiliser products should be regulated so as to avoid any harmful effects on water, soil, flora, fauna and human beings.

The European Union has recently adopted Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 on fertilisers and Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council, (a) of 3 October 2002 laying down the health rules applicable to animal by-products not intended for human consumption, which require Member States to amend their rules on fertilising products.

The first of the Community provisions cited above, referred exclusively to 'EC fertilizers', recast in a single rule the previous legislation and repeals certain directives which contained it. It also declares the free movement of EC fertilizers and lays down a number of common provisions on their composition, identification, labelling and packaging.

Also, Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 provides for Member States to supplement their development in certain respects, such as the expression of the main and secondary nutrient content; the the possibility of prohibiting the movement and sale of potentially dangerous fertilizers for health and the environment; the adoption of control measures to assess the quality of fertilizers; the authorization of control laboratories; the possibility of to impose charges and the determination of a sanctioning regime. These aspects need to be regulated in some cases by law and in others by regulatory standards.

Regulation (EC) No 1774/2002 has set restrictions on materials of animal origin used for the production of organic fertilisers or amendments, as well as a number of measures requiring Member States to ensure that such materials do not contribute to the spread of diseases.

On the other hand, fertilizer products that are not considered as "EC fertilizers" are regulated by the provisions of each Member State. Thus, in our legal order, this matter is contained in Royal Decree 72/1988 of 5 February on fertilizers and related matters, as amended by Royal Decree 877/1991 of 31 May 1998 and in the Order of 28 May 1998 on fertilizers and related, as amended by the Order of 2 November 1999, which introduced a series of environmental and public health guarantees in relation to those products.

Over time, the need to amend this set of rules in a number of points has been demonstrated; the most important innovations to be introduced are the application of national provisions to fertilisers. Similar to those laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 for "EC fertilizers", the updating of the specifications required for other fertilizers and other fertilizers, the establishment of a regulation of the procedures for authorisation of new types of fertilising products, without forgetting the assessment of possible environmental impact, waste and miscellaneous substances used as ingredients in the manufacture of fertilizer products, to ensure compliance with Law 10/1998 of 21 April of Waste.

Consequently, this royal decree seeks, first of all, to specify some of the provisions of Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003, in respect of which it provides that they must be developed and completed by the Member States, and secondly, to recast and update the existing national rules on the rest of the fertilisers and all types of amendments, adapting it, where appropriate, to the requirements of Regulation (EC) 1774/2002.

Special attention is paid to certain fertilizers, particularly those using organic raw materials, which are subject to specific regulations, to the effects of their knowledge on the part of the competent authorities in the field of surveillance and control and by all interested parties in general, and the obligation to register them in the Register of Fertilizer Products, which is hereby established as a replacement for the previous Register, is hereby established. of fertilizers and related.

In the process of drawing up this royal decree, the autonomous communities and affected sectors have been consulted.

This royal decree has been submitted to the procedure for information in the field of technical standards and regulations, provided for in Royal Decree 1337/1999 of 31 July, which regulates the remission of information in the field of standards and technical regulations and regulations relating to the services of the information society.

In its virtue, on the proposal of the Ministers of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, of Industry, Tourism and Commerce, of Health and Consumer Affairs and Environment, with the prior approval of the Minister of Public Administration, with the Council of State and after deliberation by the Council of Ministers at its meeting on 8 July 2005,

CRITERIA FOR FERTILISER PRODUCTS MADE FROM WASTE AND OTHER ORGANIC COMPONENTS

1. Percentage of organic nitrogen

In organic fertilisers, the organic nitrogen content must be at least 85% of the total nitrogen, unless other values are provided for in the specific requirements of the type.

2. Moisture

In granulated or pelletized fertilizers, the maximum permitted moisture content, expressed as a percentage by mass, shall be 14%, unless a different figure is set in the specification of the type.

3. Granulometry

In general, in organic fertilizers and organic amendments, 90% of the fertilising product must pass through a mesh of 10 mm, unless a different figure is set in the specification of the type. This requirement does not require products that are industrially granular or pelletized.

4. Maximum limit of micro-organisms

1. The processed raw material, ready to be used as an ingredient for organic fertilisers of animal origin, must undergo a process of hygiene ensuring that its microbial load does not exceed the maximum values laid down in the Regulation. (EC) No 1774/2002.

2. For organic fertilizer products, it shall be established that they do not exceed the following maximum levels of micro-organisms:

Salmonella: Absent in 25 g of elaborate product

Escherichia coli: < 1000 most likely number (NMP) per gram of product produced

5. Maximum limit of heavy metals

Fertilizers made from raw materials of animal or plant origin may not exceed the heavy metal content indicated in the following table, depending on their class A, B or C:

Niquel

Class A: Fertilizer products whose heavy metal content does not exceed any of the values in column A.

Class B: Fertilizer products whose heavy metal content does not exceed any of the values in column B.

Class C: Fertilizer products whose heavy metal content does not exceed any of the values in column C.

6. Usage limitations

1. Without prejudice to the limitations laid down in Chapter IV, fertilising products made from components of organic origin shall be applied to the soil in accordance with the codes of good agricultural practice.

2. Class C products may not be applied on agricultural soils at doses exceeding five tonnes of dry matter per ha per year. In areas of special protection, particularly for the purpose of compliance with Royal Decree 140/2003 of 7 February establishing the health criteria for the quality of water for human consumption, the autonomous communities will amend, in their case, the previous quantity.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INCLUSION OF A NEW TYPE IN THE RELATIONSHIP OF FERTILIZER PRODUCTS

1. The inclusion of a new type of fertiliser in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 31 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003.

2. For the inclusion of a new type of fertilising product in one of the groups in Annex I, or the modification of the current relationship, the data subject shall submit a technical file in accordance with the following paragraphs:

a) Product identification.

1. This paragraph shall describe the type of fertilising product, its composition, minimum nutrient content, physico-chemical characteristics, and manufacturing process, specifying all the raw materials used and the procedures employees.

2. The main effect of the product shall be highlighted under the recommended conditions of use, mentioning the elements or materials that cause the indicated effect.

b) Agronomic information.

As a general rule, this section should provide all the information necessary for the proper and effective use of the product. In summary, it is a question of describing the conditions of use, the periods of use, the doses of application of the fertiliser, depending on the crop to which it is intended, in accordance with good agricultural practices.

• Cultures: the crops in which the efficacy of the product has been demonstrated will be highlighted; those for which its use is not advisable will be noted.

• Employment dose: the dose of employment needed to obtain the main effect on the crop in question will be indicated. The recommended dose should be expressed in weight or volume of product, as marketed, and in quantity of nutritional elements, for example in kilograms of nitrogen and product per hectare per year. If the product is applied several times to the same crop, the dose per application and the number of applications must be indicated. In the case of products to be diluted before use, the necessary volume of diluent must be mentioned.

• Method of application. It shall be specified whether the product should be applied directly to the soil, to the plant or both. The method of application shall be indicated: general or localized spread, sprinkler irrigation, localized irrigation, foliar application, etc. Specify the periods of the year in which it is to be applied and the stages of the development of plants (phenological states) in which it is most effective. Describe the situations in which the use of the product is discouraged, the mixtures allowed and the prohibited (incompatibility with other products), the pH range in which the stability of the product is guaranteed, the appropriate temperature, waiting times and other precautions, if any; limitations of use, etc.

• Effectiveness: A contribution of studies, trials and experiences that can be used to determine their agronomic effectiveness, indicating the entity that performed them. The tests provided should refer to Spain or to conditions similar to Spanish, and not only to third countries.

c) Information regarding health and safety effects.

The technical file should expose possible risks to public health and safety of persons and determine the tests performed on risk in persons or accumulation of residues in food. In the case of any type of risk, precautions should be determined in their storage and use or handling.

Indicate to the greatest extent that they permit knowledge, unwanted substances and chemical or biological agents that have an impact on or may have an impact on the health of humans, animals or the environment.

The Security Data Sheet will be followed as a model, as set out in Royal Decree 255/2003 of 28 February (BOE 4-111-03).

d) Information regarding the effects on soil and the environment.

sufficient data must be provided to assess possible damage to nature (water, air, soil, flora and fauna). In particular, it must be demonstrated that their use in agriculture will not accumulate heavy metals in the soil, nor will it increase their salinity, nor will it incorporate any pollutants.

The possible incidents caused by the application of the product on physical and chemical properties, as well as on the biological activity of the soil, will be specified. The evolution of the product on the soil and its mobility shall be reported, specifying the risks of diffuse contamination and the instructions for correct use.

e) Methods of analysis and results.

In order to be able to verify the minimum content of active principles and other requirements of the product to be included in the legislation, the methods of analysis used will be indicated, which will preferably be the official methods of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food for fertilizers (Annex VI).

If the determination does not have an official method, the proposed method of analysis must be specified. In this case, priority methods or EN, 150, OECD, AOAC or UNE standards will be used. Any other alternative shall be justified by attaching a full version of the alternative, including the method of preparation of the samples.

In order to complete the information, a list of results of the various product analyses carried out by a laboratory in accordance with Article 31 shall be attached.
