Overview

This document has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 238 "Solid biofuels" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 335 "Solid biofuels", the secretariat of which is held by SIS (Sweden). This document specifies a method for determining the amount of material passing through a sieve with 3,15 mm diameter round hole. The fines content is an important parameter since excessive amounts of fines in consignments of pellets increases the risk for dust explosions and is also a health problem if the dust is inhaled. The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-05-82 AA "Biogene Festbrennstoffe" ("Solid biofuels") at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP).
