This European Technical specification defines terms concerned in all standardisation work within the scope of
CEN/TC 335. According to CEN/TC 335 this European Technical specification is applicable to solid biofuels
originating from the following sources:
? products from agriculture and forestry,
? vegetable waste from agriculture and forestry,
? vegetable waste from the food processing industry,
? wood waste, with the exception of wood waste which may contain halogenated organic compounds or heavy
metals as a result of treatment with wood preservatives or coating, and which includes in particular such wood
waste from construction- and demolition waste,
? cork waste,
? fibrous vegetable waste from virgin pulp production and from production of paper from pulp, if it is coincinerated
at the place of production and heat generated is recovered.
NOTE 1 The CEN/TC 335 considers that wood waste, including wood waste originating from construction and demolition
waste are included in the scope of CEN/TC 335 and of the scope of the mandate M/298 "solid biofuels", unless they contain
halogenated organic compounds or heavy metals as a result of treatment with wood preservatives or coatings [8].
NOTE 2 There are more terms included within this Technical specification as covered by the mandate due to clarification and
differentiation.
NOTE 3 Changes of ownership of the fibrous vegetable waste between paper and pulp company and the operator pf the coimcineration
plant in which the waste is used does not affect the inclusion of the waste in the scope of mandate M/298.
Other standards with a different scope than this European Technical specification can have different definitions
than this standard.
