Scope:

This document determines the fuel quality classes and specifications for solid biofuels of raw and processed 
materials originating from 
a) forestry and arboriculture; 
b) agriculture and horticulture; 
c) aquaculture. 
Chemically treated material may not include halogenated organic compounds or heavy metals at levels higher 
than those in typical virgin material values or higher than typical values of the country of origin. 
NOTE: Raw and processed material includes woody, herbaceous, fruit, aquatic biomass and biodegradable 
waste originating from above sectors. 

Project need:

This proposed New Edition is being developed at the request of stakeholders. It will provide the industry with general requirements of solid biofuel specification and classes. This will meet the strategic needs of the following key interest; ensuring that the latest innovative/technology/safety features are available for users
