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.

Introduction
The biomass content of solid recovered fuels is relevant for the evaluation of the impact of energy
production on greenhouse gas emission. Instrumental methods, wet chemical and manual procedures
are available for the calculation of the renewable energy fraction. Instrumental methods are based on
the determination of C content while manual procedures are based on separation of different fractions
by visual inspection. The wet chemical procedure differentiate biomass from non-biomass materials as
function of the acid dissolution behaviour.
The fraction of biomass is expressed:
— by mass;
— by energy content (gross or net calorific value);
— by carbon content.
This document is primarily intended for laboratories, producers, suppliers and purchasers of solid
recovered fuels, but is also useful for the authorities and inspection organizations.
