Bio-based solvents - Requirements and test methods
This European Standard sets the requirements for bio-based solvents in terms of their bio-based content, their technical properties and test methods. It lays down the characteristics and details for assessment of bio-based solvents that:
- are fit for purpose in terms of performance related properties;
- comply with the health, safety and environmental requirements which apply generally to solvents; and
- are derived from biomass.
This European Standard specifies solvent classes, based on the percentage of bio-based carbon content and bio-based content.
NOTE EN 16575 defines the term "bio-based" as derived from biomass and clarifies that "bio-based" does not imply "biodegradable". In addition, "biodegradable" does not necessarily imply the use of "bio-based" material.
In addition, this document sets requirements on information to be provided regarding sustainability aspects.
Biobasierte Lösemittel - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Anforderungen an biobasierte Lösungsmittel hinsichtlich ihres biobasierten Gehalts, ihrer technischen Eigenschaften und Prüfverfahren fest. Sie bestimmt die Merkmale und Einzelheiten für die Beurteilung von biobasierten Lösungsmittel:
- die gebrauchstauglich sind bezüglich leistungsbezogener Eigenschaften;
- die übereinstimmen mit den Anforderungen zu Gesundheit, Sicherheit und Umwelt, die allgemein für Lösungsmittel gelten; und
- die aus Biomasse abgeleitet sind.
Diese Europäische Norm legt Lösungsmittelklassen basierend auf dem Prozentsatz des biobasierten Kohlenstoffgehalts und biobasierten Gehalts fest.
ANMERKUNG EN 16575 definiert den Begriff „biobasiert“ als von Biomasse abgeleitet und stellt klar, dass „biobasiert“ nicht „biologisch abbaubar“ bedeutet. Außerdem bedeutet „biologisch abbaubar“ nicht notwendigerweise die Verwendung von „biobasiertem“ Material.
Zusätzlich legt dieses Dokument Anforderungen zu Informationen fest, die in Bezug auf die Nachhaltigkeitsaspekte des Produkts bereitgestellt werden müssen.
Solvants biosourcés - Exigences et méthodes d'essais
La présente Norme européenne fixe les exigences relatives aux solvants biosourcés en termes de teneur biosourcée, de propriétés techniques et de méthodes d'essai. Elle établit les caractéristiques et les détails relatifs à l'évaluation des solvants biosourcés en ce qui concerne :
- leurs performances attendues pour leur utilisation en relation avec leurs propriétés ;
- leur conformité aux exigences relatives à la santé, la sécurité et l'environnement qui s'appliquent aux solvants d'une manière générale ; et
- le fait qu'ils soient issus de la biomasse.
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les classes de solvants, basées sur le pourcentage de teneur en carbone biosourcé et de teneur biosourcée.
NOTE L'EN 16575 définit le terme « biosourcé » comme issu de la biomasse et précise que « biosourcé » n'implique pas « biodégradable ». De plus, « biodégradable » n'implique pas nécessairement l'utilisation d'un matériau « biosourcé ».

Topila biološkega izvora - Zahteve in preskusne metode
Ta evropski standard podaja zahteve za lastnosti, omejitve, razrede uporab in preskusne metode za topila biološkega izvora. Podaja lastnosti in podrobnosti za oceno topil biološkega izvora glede na to, ali so:
– primerna za uporabo z vidika lastnosti, povezanih z učinkovitostjo;
– v skladu z zdravstvenimi, varnostnimi in okoljskimi zahtevami, ki veljajo za običajna topila; in
– pridobljena iz določenega najmanjšega deleža biomase.
OPOMBA: Standard EN 16575 opredeljuje izraz »biološkega izvora« kot pridobljen iz biomase in pojasnjuje, da »biološkega izvora« ne pomeni »biološko razgradljivo«. Poleg tega izraz »biološko razgradljiv« ne pomeni nujno, da je uporabljeni material »biološkega izvora«.
Poleg tega ta dokument podaja podrobnosti o informacijah, ki so potrebne za obravnavo trajnosti proizvoda. To so bistvene informacije, saj ponujajo osnovo za izbiro najbolj trajnostnega topila.

Overview - EN 16766:2017 (CEN)
EN 16766:2017, published by CEN, defines requirements and test methods for bio‑based solvents. The standard sets out how to assess solvents that are derived from biomass for their bio‑based content, technical performance, and health, safety and environmental properties. It also defines solvent classification by bio‑based carbon content and bio‑based content, and requires disclosure of sustainability information to support transparent business‑to‑business communication.
Key SEO keywords: EN 16766:2017, bio‑based solvents, CEN standard, bio‑based content, test methods, Hansen solubility parameters.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and definitions
- Applies to solvents derived from biomass; clarifies that “bio‑based” ≠ “biodegradable” (see EN 16575).
- Performance properties
- Requires reporting of chemical composition and measurable technical properties used for solvent selection: solvency power, distillation behaviour, evaporation rate, colour, density and kinematic viscosity.
- Recommends quantitative solvency characterisation using Hansen solubility parameters (Annex A) or equivalent correlated scales.
- Health, safety and environment
- Bio‑based solvents must meet the same HSE requirements that apply generally to solvents (including relevant chemical classification and labelling rules).
- Bio‑based content and classification
- Specifies solvent classes based on percentages of bio‑based carbon content and bio‑based content; applicable measurement methods are referenced.
- Sustainability and information
- Requires provision of sustainability‑related information and supports use of harmonized disclosure templates (Annex B) for B2B communication.
- Test methods
- References standardized test methods (e.g., EN ISO 12185 for density, EN ISO 3405 for distillation) and radiocarbon/material balance approaches for bio‑based content (EN 16640, EN 16785 series).
Applications and who uses it
- Solvent manufacturers - to classify and declare bio‑based content and to demonstrate technical equivalence to fossil solvents.
- Formulators and downstream users (paints, coatings, adhesives, pharmaceuticals, cleaning agents) - to select solvents based on solvency power, evaporation, and safety data.
- Procurement and sustainability teams - to compare bio‑based options and capture sustainability information for product declarations and supply‑chain communication.
- Regulators and testing labs - for consistent measurement and labelling of bio‑based solvents.

The article discusses the European Standard EN 16766:2017, which establishes the requirements and test methods for bio-based solvents. These solvents must meet criteria related to their bio-based content, technical properties, and performance. The standard also ensures compliance with health, safety, and environmental regulations applicable to solvents, while being derived from biomass. The document specifies different solvent classes based on the percentage of bio-based carbon content and bio-based content. It also highlights that being "bio-based" does not imply biodegradability, and the use of "biodegradable" materials does not necessarily indicate bio-based characteristics. Additionally, the standard includes requirements for providing information on sustainability aspects.
