BS 3882:2007 Specification for topsoil and requirements for use

This British Standard specifies requirements for topsoils (see 3.1) that are moved or traded. The standard is not intended (or appropriate) for the grading, classification or standardization of topsoil or subsoil that remains in situ. It describes multipurpose and also specific purpose topsoils. As the name implies, multipurpose topsoil is fit for the majority of needs. The standard includes specific purpose topsoils that have low fertility or are acidic or calcareous for the particular specialist needs where such topsoils are required. It also provides guidance on sampling and analysis to ensure compliance with the specifications given in the standard.
NOTE When specifying multipurpose or specific purpose topsoil, suppliers, specifiers and users of topsoil should take into account the intended use of the site at which the topsoil is to be deployed so that the particular properties are fit for the intended planting.
