This European Standard sets the requirements for bio-based solvents in terms of their bio-based content@ their technical properties and test methods. It lays down the characteristics and details for assessment of bio-based solvents that: ?? are fit for purpose in terms of performance related properties; ?? comply with the health@ safety and environmental requirements which apply generally to solvents; and ?? are derived from biomass. This European Standard specifies solvent classes@ based on the percentage of bio-based carbon content and bio-based content. NOTE EN 16575 defines the term ??bio-based?? as derived from biomass and clarifies that ??bio-based?? does not imply ??biodegradable??. In addition@ ??biodegradable?? does not necessarily imply the use of ??bio-based?? material. In addition@ this document sets requirements on information to be provided regarding sustainability aspects.
