1 Scope
This European Standard defines terms concerned in all standardisation work within
the scope of CEN/TC 335. According to CEN/TC 335 this European Standard 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 co - incinerated at the place of production and heat generated is recovered.
The embedding of the scope within the biomass/biofuel field is given in Figure 1.

CEN TC 335 within the biomass-biofuel-bioenergy field
NOTE 1 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 European Standard 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 of the co - incineration 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 Standard can have different
definitions than this standard.
