The stable isotope ratios of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen can be used to obtain information about the origin of bio-based feedstock and characteristics of production processes of bio-based products.
PD CEN/TR 17674 specifies method for determining oxygen content in bio-based products using an elemental analyser and reference test methods for producers, purchasers, laboratories of bio-based product materials and products.
PD CEN/TR 17674 specifies overview of existing applications that are relevant for the analysis of bio-based products, feedstocks and production processes.
PD CEN/TR 17674 on stable isotope ratios is a useful for:
Development and innovations in the field of bio-based products has emerged due to depletion of fossil resources and climate change and need of sustainable products. Bio-based products may also provide additional product functionalities. This has triggered a wave of innovation with the development of knowledge and technologies allowing new transformation processes and product development. That said, it is important to understand what the term bio-based product covers and how it is being used. In this regard, it is essential to characterize the amount of biomass contained in the products.
PD CEN/TR 17674 has been developed with the aim to specify the method for the determination of oxygen content in bio-based products using an elemental analyser.
Test methods mentioned under PD CEN/TR 17674 helps you in evaluating your bio-based products and the production process involved along with the oxygen content in them and thus, helps you in building a more sustainable product.
PD CEN/TR 17674 provides the reference test methods for laboratories, producers, suppliers and purchasers of bio-based product materials and products. It may be also useful for authorities and inspection organizations.
Overall, PD CEN/TR 17674 helps the user in setting up a resource sufficient and sustainable bio-based product which meets global quality standards and regulatory requirements.
