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. www.iso.org/directives

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. www.iso.org/patents

Introduction
Instrumental methods for the analysis of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen are now in widespread and
in regular use, often in preference to formerly developed chemical methods for which International
Standards exist.
The reliable determination of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen is important for quality control and the
results can be used as input parameters for calculations applied to the combustion of solid biofuels. The
environmental importance of the nitrogen content is linked to emissions of NO (formation of fuel NO ).
x x
Hydrogen content is important for calculation of the net calorific value. Carbon content is required for
the determination of CO -emissions.
It is recognized that the Kjeldahl method is most reliable for determining nitrogen contents with a
concentration lower than 0,1 %. Possible suitable methods are summarized in the bibliography.
