The European Standard series EN 15234, Solid biofuels Fuel quality assurance are provided as a general requirements and additiona
17、l product standards. Additional product standards may extend this series over time. EN 15234 consists of the following parts, under the general title Solid biofuels Fuel quality assurance: Part 1: General requirements; Part 2: Wood pellets for non-industrial use; Part 3: Wood briquettes for non-indu
18、strial use; Part 4: Wood chips for non-industrial use; Part 5: Firewood for non-industrial use; Part 6: Non-woody pellets for non-industrial use. Although these product standards may be obtained separately, it should be recognized that they require an understanding of the standards based on and supp

NOTE In these product standards, non-industrial use means - use in smaller scale appliances, such as in households, in small commercial and public sector buildings. According to the CEN/CENELEC Int
20、ernal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxe

DIN EN 15234-2:2012-04 EN 15234-2:2012 (E) 4 Introduction The overall aim of this European Standard is to guarantee the wood pellet quality through the whole supp
22、ly chain, from the origin to the delivery of the solid biofuel and provide adequate confidence that specified quality requirements are fulfilled. The objective of this European Standard is to serve as a tool to enable the efficient trading of wood pellets. Thereby: 1) the end-user can find a pellet
23、that corresponds to its needs; 2) the producer/supplier can produce a pellet with defined and consistent properties and describe the pellet to the customers. Quality assurance measures should establish confidence in the pellet through systems that are simple to operate and do not cause undue bureauc
24、racy. Wood pellets are specified according to EN 14961-2, Solid biofuels Fuel specifications and classes Part 2: Wood pellets for non-industrial use. DIN EN 15234-2:2012-04 EN 15234-2:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard defines the procedures to fulfil the quality requirements (quality control
25、) and describes measures to ensure adequate confidence that the wood pellet specification described in EN 14961-2 is fulfilled (quality assurance). This European Standard covers the production and delivery chain, from purchasing of raw materials to point of delivery to the end-user. This European st
26、andard covers only quality assurance for wood pellets produced from the woody biomasses stated in EN 14961-1:2010, Table 1 and EN 14961-2. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited ap

30、ylindrical form, random length typically 5 mm to 40 mm, with broken ends NOTE The raw material for wood pellets is woody biomass in accordance with Table 1 of EN 14961-1:2010. Pellets are usually manufactured in a die, with total moisture content usually less than 10 % of their mass on wet basis. 3.

36、continually achieved in accordance with the customer requirements. It means that specified requirements are fulfilled, but it does not necessarily mean a high quality but a steady and continually achieved quality in accordance with the customers requirements. The customer is the next operator in the
37、 supply chain. Customer requirements include not only the fuel quality, but also the quality of the companys performance, such as documentation (product declaration, labelling of packaging, etc.), timing and logistics (to provide biofuels in time and to agreed performances criteria). 1) Designation
38、symbols are used in combination with a number to specify property levels (see for example Table 1, EN 14961-2:2011). For designation of chemical properties chemical symbols like S (sulphur), Cl (chlorine), N (nitrogen) are used and the value is added at the end of the symbol. DIN EN 15234-2:2012-04
39、EN 15234-2:2012 (E) 7 Fuel quality assurance needs to be applied to the entire supply chain. As the supply chains for solid biofuels in most cases needs to be kept very simple, the same documents are often used for documentation of quality assurance and quality control measures. NOTE When the custom
40、er is a supplier, a retailer or end user, the customer requirements are usually written in sales contracts. Quality control is fundamentally about controlling the quality of a product or process to enable the delivery of the product or service within agreed parameters in the most efficient and cost
41、effective way. The consequences of having good quality control will be a cost effective product and process. Quality assurance on the other hand, is about reviewing the products and processes, primarily through data provided from the quality control records and using this data: a) to provide confide
42、nce that products are produced within the required specification and processes are operated as they should be, and b) to assure that over a longer term either consistency is being maintained (stability in process results) or that quality improvements are making the intended impact. 5.2 Traceability
43、Wood pellets for non-industrial use shall be specified with EN 14961-2. The origin and source of solid biofuel is specified by Table 1 in EN 14961-1:2010. There are three parts in the supply chain, illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1 Simplified example of a wood pellet supply chain All operators in th
44、e supply chain are responsible for the traceability of the origin and source of the material delivered by them. The first operator is responsible for the documents being prepared the first time. The documents shall be available and provided on justified request throughout the entire supply chain acc
45、ording to EN 15234-1. DIN EN 15234-2:2012-04 EN 15234-2:2012 (E) 8 5.3 Production requirements The methodology described below for quality assurance and quality control of the production shall be used, but shall be adjusted for the production requirements of the specific wood pellets production chai
46、n in question. There are six consecutive steps that have to be followed by every stakeholder in the supply chain. The steps are described below. For examples of documentation, see informative Annex A. Step 1: Define fuel requirements for the final product (see 5.4) Step 2: Document the steps in the
47、production and distribution processes (see 5.5, Figures 2 and 3) Step 3: Identify quality influencing factors including company performance (see 5.5, Figures 2 and 3) Step 4: Define Critical Control Points for compliance with the fuel specification (see 5.5, Figures 2 and 3) Step 5: Select appropria
48、te measures to assure the quality of the product (see 5.6) Step 6: Establish routines of separate handling of nonconforming raw materials and solid biofuels (see 5.7) The following information will give a general overview about documenting the requirements for the production in a wood pellets supply chain. 5.4 Fuel requirements for the final product (Step 1) Wood pellets for non-industrial use are pro
