Scope
GB/T 20937-2018 is the English-translated version of 硫酸钾镁肥.
GB/T 20937-2018 covers potassium magnesium sulphate fertilizer, a compound potassium fertilizer that also supplies magnesium and sulphur, made from salt lake brine or solid potassium magnesium salt ore only by physical extraction or direct removal of impurities.
It sets out the terms and definitions, the requirements, the test methods, the inspection rules and the marking, packaging, transport and storage of the product.
Compared with the 2007 edition it revises the limits for free water, chloride ion, particle size and water-insoluble matter, adds limits for sodium ion, arsenic, cadmium, lead, chromium and mercury, and adds an automatic analyser method for potassium oxide.
Products blended from potassium sulphate and magnesium compounds are outside its scope. It replaces GB/T 20937-2007, was issued on 14 May 2018 and has applied since 1 December 2018.

Foreword
This standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This standard replaces GB/T 20937-2007 "potassium sulfate magnesium fertilizer", compared with GB/T 20937-2007, the main technical changes are as follows.
--- Modified free water, chloride ion, particle size, water insolubles index (see 4.2, 2007 edition 4.2);
--- Increased sodium ion, arsenic, cadmium, lead, chromium, mercury limit requirements (see 4.2);
--- Automatic analyzer method to increase the content of potassium oxide (see 5.3.2);
--- Increased sodium ion determination method (see 5.7);
--- Modified the determination method of water insoluble matter (see 5.9);
--- Increased methods for determination of arsenic, cadmium, lead, chromium and mercury (see 5.12);
--- Added some QR code or barcode to mark some product information (see 7.4).
