Scope:

This document specifies a method for the determination of water sorption in a laboratory setting and provides a measure for how the durability is impacted as a result of immersion in water. Post-immersion durability reduction is calculated as the difference between the durability of the as-received sample and the durability of the wetted product.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of international standards in the solid biofuel subject area. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of stakeholders. It will provide the industry with a method for the determination of water sorption in a laboratory setting and provides a measure for how the durability is impacted as a result of immersion in water for wood pellets. This proposed standard is intended to be a new CSA adoption of the following standard: ISO 23343-1:2021
