Solid biofuels - Fuel specifications and classes - Part 2: Wood pellets for non-industrial use
This European Standard determines the fuel quality classes and specifications for non industrial wood pellets. This European Standard covers only wood pellets produced from the following raw material (see EN 14961-1, table 1):
- 1.1 Forest, plantation and other virgin wood
- 1.2 By-products and residues from wood processing industry
- 1.3 Used wood
NOTE: For the avoidance of doubt, demolition wood is not included in the scope of this European Standard. Demolition wood is "used wood arising from demolition of buildings or civil engineering installations" (EN 14588).
Feste Biobrennstoffe - Brennstoffspezifikationen und - klassen - Teil 2: Holzpellets für nichtindustrielle Verwendung
Diese Europäische Norm legt die qualitätsbezogenen Brennstoffklassen und spezifikationen für Holzpellets für nichtindustrielle Verwendung fest. Die vorliegende Europäische Norm umfasst nur Holzpellets, die aus folgenden Rohmaterialien hergestellt wurden (siehe EN 14961 1:2010, Tabelle 1):
- 1.1 Wald und Plantagenholz sowie anderes erntefrisches Holz;
- 1.2 Industrie Restholz;
- 1.3 Gebrauchtholz.
ANMERKUNG 1 Um keine Zweifel aufkommen zu lassen, wurde Abbruchholz nicht in den Anwendungsbereich dieser Europäischen Norm aufgenommen. Abbruchholz ist „Gebrauchtholz, das aus dem Abriss von Gebäuden oder sonstigen Bauwerken stammt“ (EN 14588:2010, 4.52).
ANMERKUNG 2 Torrefizierte (Geröstete) Pellets fallen nicht in den Anwendungsbereich dieser Europäischen Norm. Torrefikation (Torrefizierung, Röstung) ist eine milde Vorbehandlung von Biomasse bei einer Temperatur zwischen 200 °C und 300 °C.
Biocombustibles solides - Classes et spécifications des combustibles - Partie 2: Granulés de bois densifié à usage non industriel
La présente Norme européenne détermine les classes et spécifications de qualité de combustible pour des granulés de bois densifié à usage non industriel. Elle couvre uniquement les granulés de bois densifié produits à partir des matières premières suivantes (voir EN 14961-1:2010, Tableau 1) :
- 1.1 Bois de forêt, de plantation et autres bois vierges ;
- 1.2 Produits dérivés et sous-produits de l'industrie de transformation du bois ;
- 1.3 Bois usagé.
NOTE 1 Afin d'ôter tout doute, le bois de démolition est exclu du domaine d'application de la présente Norme européenne. Le bois de démolition est défini comme un «bois usagé provenant de la démolition de bâtiments ou d'installations de génie civil» (EN 14588:2010, 4.52). NOTE 2 Les granulés torréfiés ne sont pas inclus dans le domaine d'application de la présente Norme européenne. La torréfaction est un prétraitement léger d'une biomasse à une température comprise entre 200 °C et 300 °C.
Trdna biogoriva - Specifikacije goriv in razredi - 2. del: Lesni peleti za neindustrijsko uporabo
Ta evropski standard določa razrede kakovosti goriv in specifikacije za neindustrijske lesne pelete. Ta evropski standard zajema samo lesne pelete, izdelane iz naslednjih surovin (glej EN 14961-1, preglednica 1):
- 1.1 Gozdni les, les iz nasadov in druge vrste primarni les
- 1.2 Stranski proizvodi in ostanki iz lesnopredelovalne industrije

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by December 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by December 2011. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. The European standard series EN 14961 Solid biofuels Fuel specifications and classes are provided as general requirements and additional product standards. Additional product standards may extend this series over time. EN 14961 consists of the following parts, under the title Solid biofuels Fuel specifications and classes: Part 1: General requirements; Part 2: Wood pellets for non-industrial use; Part 3: Wood briquettes for non-industrial use; Part 4: Wood chips for non-industrial use; Part 5: Firewood for non-industrial use; Part 6: Non woody pellets for non-industrial use (under development). Although these product standards may be obtained separately, they require a general understanding of the standards based on and supporting EN 14961-1. It is recommended to obtain and use EN 14961-1 in conjunction with these standards.
NOTE In these product standards, non-industrial use - means fuel intended to be used in smaller appliances, such as in households and small commercial and public sector buildings. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, 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 the United Kingdom.

EN 14961-2:2011 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard for "Fuel Specifications and Classes Part 2: Wood pellets for non-industrial use" has been produced by CEN/TC 335 Solid Biofuels Working group "Fuel Specifications, Classes and Quality Assurance". The objective of this European Standard is to provide unambiguous and clear classification principles for solid biofuels, to serve as a tool to enable efficient trading of biofuels and to enable good understanding between seller and buyer as well as a tool for communication with equipment manufacturers. It will also facilitate authority permission procedures and reporting. This European Standard is made to support the use of wood pellets in a non-industrial situation and specifically for the domestic/householder markets and smaller commercial boiler situations, where sensitivity to the fuel quality can cause major issues. These consumers need special consideration for the following reasons:
• small-scale equipment does not usually have advanced controls and flue gas cleaning; • it is not generally managed by professional heating engineers; • they are often located in living and populated districts. NOTE
Pellets produced according to this European Standard can be used in pellet stoves, which are tested according to EN 14785, pellet burners tested according to EN 15270 and pellet boilers or integrated-pellet burner systems tested according to EN 303-5 (< 500 kWth). SIST EN 14961-2:2011
EN 14961-2:2011 (E) 5 1 Scope This European standard determines the fuel quality classes and specifications of wood pellets for non-industrial use. This European standard covers only wood pellets produced from the following raw materials (see EN 14961-1:2010, Table 1): • 1.1 Forest, plantation and other virgin wood; • 1.2 By-products and residues from wood processing industry; • 1.3 Used wood. NOTE 1 For the avoidance of doubt, demolition wood is not included in the scope of this European Standard.
Demolition wood is “used wood arising from demolition of buildings or civil engineering installations” (EN 14588:2010, 4.52). NOTE 2 Torrefied pellets are not included in the scope of this European Standard. Torrefaction is a mild pre-treatment of biomass at a temperature between 200 °C to 300 °C. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard.

Pellets are usually manufactured in a die, with total moisture content usually less than 10 % of their mass wet basis. 3.2 additive material which improves the quality of the fuel (e.g. combustion properties), reduces emissions or makes production more efficient. 3.3 chemical treatment any treatment with chemicals other than air, water or heat (e.g. glue and paint) NOTE Examples of chemical treatment are listed in informative Annex C of EN 14961-1:2010. 4 Symbols and abbreviations The symbols and abbreviations used in this European Standard comply with the SI system of units as far as possible. d
