EU-fertilising products (CE-marketed products)

Both organic and inorganic fertilising products can be marketed as EU fertilising products if they meet the requirements of the EU Fertiliser Regulation.

Published

Marketing a fertiliser as an EU fertiliser can provide easier access to the EEA market. If you import organic fertilising products as EU fertilising products, you should ensure that a third-party control by a notified body (europa.eu) has been carried out where required.

For EU fertilising products marketed in Norway, the cadmium content in phosphorus-containing mineral fertilising products and organic-mineral fertilising products must be below 100 mg Cd/kg phosphorus. The labelling must be in Norwegian. Nutrients should preferably be stated in elemental form. It is recommended to label products of organic origin with heavy metal content to make it easier for users to follow the provisions in the fertiliser use regulation.
