13. Ammonium nitrate (5,000/10,000): fertilisers capable of self-sustaining decomposition.
This applies to ammonium nitrate based compound/composite fertilisers (compound/composite fertilisers contain ammonium nitrate with phosphate and/or potash) which are capable of self-sustaining decomposition according to the UN Trough Test (the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.2), and in which the nitrogen content as a result of ammonium nitrate is—
(a)between 15.75%(1) and 24.5%(2) by weight, and either with not more than 0.4% total combustible/organic materials or which fulfil the requirements of Annex III-2 to Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 October 2003 relating to fertilisers (“Regulation (EC) No 2003/2003”)(3); or
(b)equal to or less than 15.75% by weight and unrestricted combustible materials.
15.75% nitrogen content by weight as a result of ammonium nitrate corresponds to 45% ammonium nitrate
24.5% nitrogen content by weight as a result of ammonium nitrate corresponds to 70% ammonium nitrate
