Solid biofuels - Method for the determination of the content of volatile matter
This document specifies the requirements and method used for the determination of volatile matter of solid biofuels. It is intended for persons and organisations that manufacture, plan, sell, erect or use machinery, equipment, tools and entire plants related to solid biofuels, and to all persons and organisations involved in producing, purchasing, selling and utilising solid biofuels.
The volatile matter is determined as the loss in mass, less that due to moisture, when solid biofuel is heated out of contact with air under standardized conditions.
Feste Biobrennstoffe - Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Gehaltes an flüchtigen Substanzen
Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen und ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Gehaltes an flüchtigen
Bestandteilen von festen Biobrennstoffen fest. Es ist für Personen und Organisationen bestimmt, die mit
Entwurf, Fertigung, Verkauf, Aufstellung oder Einsatz von Maschinen, Ausrüstungen, Werkzeugen und
kompletten Anlagen für feste Biobrennstoffe befasst, und für alle Personen und Organisationen, die in
Erzeugung, Einkauf, Verkauf und Verwertung von festen Biobrennstoffen einbezogen sind.
Die flüchtigen Bestandteile werden als Masseverlust abzüglich der Masse des Wassergehaltes bestimmt, der
beim Erhitzen von festem Biobrennstoff unter Luftabschluss unter genormten Bedingungen entsteht.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 4 June 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, Slovakia,
Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

Foreword
This Technical Specification (CEN/TS 15148:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 335
“Solid Biofuels”, the secretariat of which is held by SIS.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this CEN Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
and United Kingdom.
Introduction
The volatile matter is determined as the loss in mass, less that due to moisture, when solid biofuel is heated
out of contact with air under standardised conditions. The test is empirical and, in order to ensure reproducible
results, it is essential that the rate of heating, the final temperature and the overall duration of the test are
carefully controlled. It is also essential to exclude air from the solid biofuel during heating to prevent oxidation.
The fit of the crucible lid is therefore critical. The moisture content of the general analysis sample is
determined at the same time as the volatile matter so that the appropriate correction can be made.
1 Scope
This working document aims to define the requirements and method used for the determination of volatile
matter of solid biofuels. It is intended for persons and organisations that manufacture, plan, sell, erect or use
machinery, equipment, tools and entire plants related to solid biofuels, and to all persons and organisations
involved in producing, purchasing, selling and utilising solid biofuels.
The volatile matter is determined as the loss in mass, less that due to moisture, when solid biofuel is heated
out of contact with air under standardized conditions.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application 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
For the purposes of this Technical Specification, the terms and definitions given in CEN/TS 14588:2003 shall
apply.
4 Principle
A test portion of the general analysis sample is heated out of contact with ambient air at 900 °C ± 10 °C for 7
min. The percentage of volatile matter is calculated from the loss in mass of the test portion after deducting
the loss in mass due to moisture.
5 Apparatus
5.1 Furnace
The furnace shall be heated by electricity, in which a zone of uniform temperature of 900 °C ± 10 °C can be
maintained. It may be of the stop-ended type or fitted at
