Compost analyses

Normec OWS offers a wide range of analysis services on compost, fertilizers and other soil improvers. This enables industrial composting and fermentation plants to ensure that their products comply with laws and regulations. These analyses are carried out under strict quality controls, according to the ISO 17025 standard.

Different parameters

Normec OWS offers the flexibility to perform compost analysis on individual parameters or on a larger scope of parameters, using a number of different techniques. Parameters include nitrogen or mercury content, or organic matter and carbon content. Examples of other parameters include the amount of germinative seeds, impurities, degree of acidity, or the density of a sample.

Our analyses are done according to the CMA and BAM standards from Flanders, Belgium. For CMA we are recognized by OVAM, and for BAM we are recognized by VLM (Vlaamse Land Maatschappij). The quality system is recognized by BELAC, the Belgian Accreditation Body, in accordance with ISO 17025:2017.
