BS EN ISO 15685:2020

This standard BS EN ISO 15685:2020 Soil quality. Determination of potential nitrification and inhibition of nitrification. Rapid test by ammonium oxidation is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.080.30 Biological properties of soils

This International Standard specifies a rapid method for the determination of the potential rate of ammonium oxidation and inhibition of nitrification in soils. This method is suitable for all soils containing a population of nitrifying microorganisms. It can be used as a rapid screening test for monitoring soil quality and quality of wastes, and is suitable for testing the effects of cultivation methods, chemical substances [except volatiles, .e. H > 1 (Henry’s constant)], extracts of biosolids and pollution in soils.
