PURPOSE

This standard specifies the characteristics of liming materials derived from industrial processes, as well as criteria and test methods for assessing these characteristics.

SCOPE

This standard applies to industrial products and by-products intended for use as soil amendments consistent with agronomical or silvicultural principles.

This standard also applies to mixtures composed exclusively of two or more of the products listed in items a) to s) above whose total neutralizing value is equal to or greater than 25 %, or to mixtures composed exclusively of one or more of these products and one of the following liming materials: natural limestone or quicklime.

This document was developed to serve as a reference document for conformity evaluation activities of liming materials.

Project need:

The systematic review indicated that the standard needed to be amended.
