Feste Biobrennstoffe - Qualitätssicherung von Brennstoffen - Teil 5: Stückholz für nichtindustrielle Verwendung; Deutsche Fassung EN 15234-5:2012

Overview

The overall aim of this European Standard is to ensure the firewood quality through the whole supply chain, from the origin to the delivery of the solid biofuel, and provide adequate confidence that specified quality requirements are fulfilled. The objective of this European Standard is to serve as a tool to enable the efficient trading of firewood. Thereby: 1) the end-user can find firewood that corresponds to its needs; 2) the producer/supplier can produce firewood with defined and consistent properties and describe firewood to the customers. Quality assurance measures should establish confidence in firewood through systems that are simple to operate and which do not cause undue bureaucracy. Firewood is specified according to EN 14961-5, "Solid biofuels - Fuel specifications and classes - Part 5: Firewood for non-industrial use". This European Standard defines the procedures to fulfill the quality requirements (quality control) and describes measures to ensure adequate confidence that specification of firewood described in EN 14961-5 is fulfilled (quality assurance). This European Standard covers the whole raw material supply, production and delivery chain, from purchasing of raw materials to point of delivery to the end-user. This European Standard covers only quality assurance for firewood produced from the woody biomasses stated in EN 14961-1:2010, Table 1 and EN 14961-5. The document EN 15234-5:2012 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 335 "Solid biofuels", the secretariat of which is held by SIS (Sweden). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-05-82 AA "Feste Biobrennstoffe" ("Solid biofuels") at the Materials Testing Standards Committee (NMP).
