In this background report, it is proved that wider-ranging limits and types of co-combustion materials can be safely applied in the revised EN 450-1. It is also shown that in practice some requirements in EN 450-1 have been proven to be unrealistic. Improvements have been proposed for the definition of fly ash, the loss on ignition, free calcium oxide, reactive silicon dioxide and the limits for phosphate.
