Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 15358:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 343 “Solid
recovered fuels”, the secretariat of which is held by SFS.
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, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and United Kingdom.
Introduction
In the context of solid recovered fuels (SRF) production, the Quality Management (QM) strategy is mainly
based on the fact that, by increasing knowledge about the whole production-process, it is possible to reduce
the amount of sampling and testing to be carried out on the final products. This strategy is expressed by good
Quality Management Procedures in the manufacturing process, including good record-keeping. In the context
of SRF, Quality Management offers a route through which the confidence of customers and regulators can be
established and maintained.
The goal of this Technical Specification is the development of a Quality Management System (QMS) for SRF
production and trade that provides for continual improvement, emphasising the fulfilment of quality
requirements.
This Technical Specification is a base for developing a QMS for a SRF supplier organization which has not
earlier established a QMS. It can also be used as a supporting document for a supplier which already has a
QMS established.
This Technical Specification, coupled with applicable customer-specific requirements and the normative
references specified in Clause 2, defines the fundamental quality management system requirements for those
subscribing to this Technical Specification.
The development of a quality management system for solid recovered fuels based on this TS does not involve
a compulsory third party certification, however this certification is recommended.
The emphasis of this Technical Specification is on:
1) giving wider confidence to the production and trading of SRF;
2) defining the documentation to be used for internal procedures and communicating to all parties the
specifications needed to ensure the achievement of the quality objectives;
3) verifying the origin and demonstrating the properties of the input materials (i.e. non hazardous
wastes).
The Quality Management Systems accords with EN ISO 9001 to cover the whole process from the point of
waste reception to the point of delivery of SRF to the customer. Quality Management Systems have several
important features, including the definition of:
a) key steps in the process;
b) person(s) who is/are responsible for each step of the process, and for the overall co-ordination of quality-
management;
c) training – policies and procedures for execution;
d) procedures for production;
e) procedures for record-keeping, to provide full traceability;
f) procedures for dealing with failures, and self-improvement;
g) procedures for the development of the processing.
To accomplish CEN Internal Regulations for the drafting of documents in this Technical Specification boxed
text is used for the original EN ISO 9001:2000 text, while sector-specific supplemental requirements are
outside the boxes.
Paragraphs marked “NOTE” are for guidance in understanding or clarifying the associated requirement.
Where the term “such as” is used, any suggestions given are for guidance only.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification specifies requirements for the quality management system for the production of
solid recovered fuels from the reception of waste(s) up to the delivery of solid recovered fuels (Figure 1).

4.1 General requirements
The organization shall establish, document, implement and maintain a quality management system and
continually improve its effectiveness in accordance with the requirements of this International Standard.
The organization shall
a) identify the processes needed for the quality management system and their application throughout the
organization,
b) determine the sequence and interaction of these processes,
c) determine criteria and methods needed to ensure that both the operation and control of these processes
are effective,
d) ensure the availability of resources and information necessary to support the operation and monitoring of
these processes,
e) monitor, measure and analyse these processes, and
f) implement actions necessary to achieve planned results and continual improvement of these processes.
These processes shall be managed by the organization in accordance with the requirements of this
International Standard.
Where an organization chooses to outsource any process that affects product conformity with requirements,
the organization shall ensure control over such processes. Control of such outsourced processes shall be
identified within the quality management system.
NOTE Processes needed for the quality management system referred to above should include processes for
management activities, provision of resources, product realization and measurement.
The organization shall establish and maintain a programme for achieving its objectives and targets. It shall
specify:
a) designation of responsibilities to named personnel for achieving objectives and targets at each relevant
function and level of the organization;
b) means and timeframe by which they are to be achieved.
If a project relates to new developments and new or modified activities, or products or services, programme(s)
shall be reviewed and amended as necessary to ensure that quality management is applied appropriately to
such projects.
The organization shall establish and maintain internal procedures for defining responsibility and authority for
handling and investigating non-conformity, taking action to mitigate any impacts caused and to initiate and
complete corrective and preventive actions.
Any corrective or preventive action taken to eliminate the causes of actual and potential non-conformities shall
be appropriate to the magnitude of the problems and commensurate with the quality impact encountered.
The organization shall implement and record any changes in the documented procedures resulting from
corrective and preventive actions.
The supplier of solid recovered fuels is responsible for the conformity with the agreed specification. The
quality management system shall be as comprehensive as is necessary to meet the quality objectives and
shall be included in quality systems of different operators in the production chain.
The responsibility for the inputs, the partly-processed materials and/or the finished solid recovered fuels in the
different parts of the production chain shall be transferred to the next operator in the chain, and eventually to
the end user as soon as it has been accepted that the material correspond to the quality agreed between the
parties.
4.1.1 Outsourced processes
Among the outsourced processes, the transport of input waste and of solid recovered fuels and the selection
and control of laboratories for analysis should be managed according to documented procedures.
Other outsourced processes should be managed in line with in-house processes.
4.2 Documentation requirements
4.2.1 General
EN ISO 9001:2000, Quality management systems - Requirements
4.2 Documentation requirements
4.2.1 General
The quality management system documentation shall include
a) documented statements of a quality policy and quality objectives,
b) a quality manual,
c) documented procedures required by this International Standard,
d) documents needed by the organization to ensure the effective planning, operation and control of its
processes, and
e) records required by this International Standard (see 4.2.4).
NOTE 1 Where the term “documented procedure” appears within this International Standard, this means that the
procedure is established, documented, implemented and maintained.
NOTE 2 The extent of the quality management system documentation can differ from one organization to another due to
a) the size of organization and type of activities,
b) the complexity of processes and their interactions, and
c) the competen
