Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following
URL: www .iso .org/iso/foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 190 Soil quality, Subcommittee SC 3,
Chemical and physical characterization.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11260:1994), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 11260:1994/Cor.1:1996.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11260:2018(E)
Soil quality — Determination of effective cation exchange
capacity and base saturation level using barium chloride
solution
WARNING — Persons using this document should be familiar with normal laboratory practice.
This document does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and health practices.
IMPORTANT — It is absolutely essential that tests conducted in accordance with this document
be carried out by suitably qualified staff.
1 Scope
This document specifies a method for the determination of the cation exchange capacity (CEC) at the
pH of the soil and for the determination of the content of exchangeable sodium, potassium, calcium and
magnesium in soil.
This document is applicable to all types of air-dried soil samples. ISO 11464 can be used for pre-
treatment.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content
constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions are listed in this document.

— IEC Electropedia: available at http: //www .electropedia .org/
4 Principle
The determination of CEC as specified in this document is a modification of the method proposed by
Gillman (see Reference [6]). The CEC of soil samples is determined at the pH of the soil and at a low total
ionic strength.
The soil is first saturated with respect to barium by treating the soil three times with a 0,1 mol/l
barium chloride solution. Thereafter, the soil is equilibrated with a 0,01 mol/l barium chloride
solution. Subsequently a known excess of 0,02 mol/l magnesium sulfate is added. All the barium
present, in solution as well as adsorbed, is precipitated in the form of highly insoluble barium sulfate
and, consequently, the sites with exchangeable ions are readily occupied by magnesium. The excess
magnesium is determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry ICP-AES.
Alternative methods with a comparable precision and detection limit may also be used.

It is also possible to determine the concentrations of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium (and
other elements such as iron, manganese and aluminium) in the 0,1 mol/l barium chloride extract of
the soil.
If the barium chloride extract has a yellowish-brown colour, this indicates that some organic matter has
been dissolved. If this occurs, record it in the test report.
NOTE 1 Since organic matter contributes to the CEC, its presence will result in a measured CEC value which is
an underestimation of the actual CEC.
NOTE 2 The sum of exchangeable cations can give a result that is greater than the actual CEC due to the
dissolution of salts present in the soil. However, preliminary washing of the soil with water to remove these salts
can change the relative proportions of cations in the CEC.
5 Interferences
The method described suffers from interference from calcium which may be present as calcite or
gypsum in the sample. Also, the presence of any soluble salts gives values for the exchangeable cations
that are higher than the actual exchangeable amounts (see References [4] and [5]).
Measurement of the specific electrical conductivity of the soil samples in accordance with ISO 11265
will indicate if the soil samples are affected by salt.
6 Procedures
6.1 Sample pretreatment
Pretreat and air-dry the sample, e.g. in accordance with ISO 11464.
6.2 Leaching
6.2.1 Reagents
Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and water in accordance with grade 2 of ISO 3696.
