DIN EN ISO 17225-1:2014-09

This International Standard determines the fuel quality classes and specifications for solid biofuels of raw and processed materials originating from the following sources: a) Forestry and arboriculture; b) Agriculture and horticulture; c) Aquaculture. Chemically treated material may not include halogenated organic compounds or heavy metals at levels higher than those in typical virgin material values or higher than typical values of the country of origin. Raw and processed material includes woody, herbaceous, fruit, aquatic biomass and biodegradable waste originating from above sectors. The objective of this International Standard is to provide unambiguous and clear classification principles for solid biofuels and to serve as a tool to enable efficient trading of biofuels and to enable good understanding between seller and buyer as well as a tool for communication with equipment manufacturers. This standard will also facilitate authority permission procedures and reporting. This document (EN ISO 17225-1:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 238 "Solid biofuels" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 335 "Solid biofuels" the secretariat of which is held by SIS (Sweden). This document together with more documents currently being prepared by ISO/TC 238 is intended to replace the DIN EN 14961 series "Solid biofuels - Fuel specifications and classes". The responsible German body is Working Committee NA 062-05-82 AA "Biogenic Festbrennstoffe" ("Solid biofuels") at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP).
