CEN/TS 15234:2006

Solid biofuels - Fuel quality assurance

This Technical Specification defines the procedures to fulfil the quality requirements and describes measures to ensure adequate confidence that the biofuel specification is fulfilled. This Technical Specification covers the whole chain, from supply of raw materials to point of delivery to the end-user.
According to the mandate given for the standardisation work, the scope of the Technical Committee (TC 335) only includes solid biofuels originating from the following sources:
-   products from agriculture and forestry;
-   vegetable waste from agriculture and forestry;
-   vegetable waste from the food processing industry;
-   wood waste, with the exception of wood waste which may contain halogenated organic compounds or heavy metal as a result of treatment with wood preservatives or coating, and which includes in particular such wood waste originated from construction and demolition waste;
-   fibrous vegetable waste from virgin pulp production and from the production of paper from pulp, if it is co-incinerated at the place of production and heat generated is recovered;
-   cork waste.
NOTE 1: The quality assurance systems applied to the operation of conversion plants fuelled by solid biofuels are outside the scope of this Technical Specification.
NOTE 2: Health, safety and environmental issues for solid biofuels are important and need special attention, however are outside the scope of this Technical Specification.
NOTE 3: For the avoidance of doubt, demolition wood is not included in the scope of this Technical Specification. Demolition wood is defined as "used wood arising from demolition of buildings or civil engineering installations" (CEN/TS 14588).

Feste Biobrennstoffe - Qualitätssicherung von Brennstoffen

Diese Technische Spezifikation legt die Verfahren zur Erfüllung der Qualitätsanforderungen fest und be-
schreibt Maßnahmen zur Sicherstellung eines angemessenen Vertrauens auf die Einhaltung der Biobrenn-
stoffspezifikation. Diese Technische Spezifikation umfasst die gesamte Kette, von der Anlieferung der Roh-
stoffe bis zum Lieferort beim Endverbraucher.
Nach dem für die Normungsarbeit zugeteilten Mandat umfasst der Aufgabenbereich des Technischen
Komitees (TC 335) nur feste Biobrennstoffe, die aus folgenden Quellen stammen:
- Produkte aus der Land- und Forstwirtschaft;
- pflanzliche Abfälle aus der Land- und Forstwirtschaft;
- pflanzliche Abfälle aus der Lebensmittel verarbeitenden Industrie;
- Holzabfälle, mit der Ausnahme von Holzabfällen, die im Ergebnis der Behandlung mit Holzschutzmitteln
oder Aufbringung von Beschichtungen halogenierte organische Verbindungen oder Schwermetalle ent-
halten können, und zu denen besonders Holzabfälle gehören, die von Bau- und Abbrucharbeiten
stammen;
- faserige pflanzliche Abfälle aus der Herstellung von natürlichem Zellstoff und aus der Herstellung von Pa-
pier aus Zellstoff, sofern sie am Herstellungsort verbrannt werden und die erzeugte Wärme genutzt wird;
- Korkabfälle.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 13 September 2005 for provisional application.
The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.
CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in parallel to the CEN/TS)
until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
