Solid biofuels. Terminology, definitions and descriptions. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This European Standard defines terms concerned in all standardisation work within the scope of CEN/TC 335. According to CEN/TC 335 this European Standard is applicable to solid biofuels originating from the following sources:

• — products from agriculture and forestry;
• — vegetable waste from agriculture and forestry;
• — vegetable waste from the food processing industry;
• — wood waste, with the exception of wood waste which may contain halogenated organic compounds or heavy metals as a result of treatment with wood preservatives or coating, and which includes in particular such wood waste from construction - and demolition waste;
• — cork waste;
• — fibrous vegetable waste from virgin pulp production and from production of paper from pulp, if it is co - incinerated at the place of production and heat generated is recovered.

The embedding of the scope within the biomass/biofuel field is given in Figure 1. Figure 1 — CEN TC 335 within the biomass-biofuel-bioenergy field

NOTE 1 CEN/TC 335 considers that wood waste, including wood waste originating from construction and demolition waste are included in the scope of CEN/TC 335 and of the scope of the mandate M/298 "solid biofuels", unless they contain halogenated organic compounds or heavy metals as a result of treatment with wood preservatives or coatings [8].

NOTE 2 There are more terms included within this European Standard as covered by the mandate due to clarification and differentiation.

NOTE 3 Changes of ownership of the fibrous vegetable waste between paper and pulp company and the operator of the co - incineration plant in which the waste is used does not affect the inclusion of the waste in the scope of mandate M/298.

Other standards with a different scope than this European Standard can have different definitions than this standard.
