1 Scope This standard specifies determination method of content of mercury, arsenic, cadmium, lead and chromium in the fertilizer. This standard is applicable to the determination of content of mercury, arsenic, cadmium, lead and chromium. Appendix A of this standard specifies test methods for simultaneous determination of mercury and arsenic in liquid or solid fertilizer, which are applicable to samples with concentration difference not greater than 1,000 times. Appendix B of this standard specifies test methods for simultaneous determination of cadmium, lead, chromium content in liquid or solid fertilizers. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
