This European Standard aims to define the requirements and method used to determine the volatile matter
content of solid biofuels. It is intended for persons and organisations that manufacture, plan, sell, erect or use
machinery, equipment, tools and entire plants related to solid biofuels, and to all persons and organisations
involved in producing, purchasing, selling and utilising solid biofuels.
The volatile matter content is determined as the loss in mass, less that due to moisture, when solid biofuel is
heated out of contact with air under standardized conditions.
