This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication o
15、f an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by July 2012, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by July 2012. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be h

The European standard series EN 15234, Solid biofuels Fuel quality assurance are provided as a general requi
17、rements and additional 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 br
18、iquettes for non-industrial 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 standa
19、rds based on and supporting EN 15234-1. It is recommended to obtain and use EN 15234-1 in conjunction with these standards. 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 t
20、o the CEN/CENELEC Internal 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, La

DIN EN 15234-6:2012-04 EN 15234-6:2012 (E) 4 Introduction The overall aim of this European Standard is to guarantee the non-woody pellet qual
22、ity through the whole supply 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 non-woody pellets. Thereby: 1)
23、the end-user can find a pellet 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
24、 and do not cause undue bureaucracy. Non-woody pellets are specified according to EN 14961-6, Solid biofuels Fuel specifications and classes Part 6: Non woody pellets for non-industrial use. DIN EN 15234-6:2012-04 EN 15234-6:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard defines the procedures to fulfil
25、the quality requirements (quality control) and describes measures to ensure adequate confidence that the non-woody pellet specification described in EN 14961-6 is fulfilled (quality assurance). This European Standard covers production and delivery chain, from purchasing of raw materials to point of
26、delivery to the end-user. This European standard covers only quality assurance for non-woody pellets produced from the non-woody biomasses stated in EN 14961-1:2010, Table 1 and EN 14961-6. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this docume
27、nt. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

30、pulverised (e.g. ground) biomass with or without additives usually with a cylindrical form diameter 25 mm, random length and typically 3,15 mm to 40 mm with broken ends, obtain by mechanical compression NOTE The raw material for non-woody pellets can be herbaceous biomass, fruit biomass, or biomass
31、blends and mixtures. They are usually manufactured in a die with a total moisture content usually less than 15 % of their mass. 3.2 additive material which improves the quality of the fuel (e.g. combustion properties), reduces emissions or makes production more efficient 3.3 chemical treatment treat
32、ment with chemicals other than air, water or heat NOTE Examples of chemical treatment are listed in informative Annex C of EN 14961-1:2010. 3.4 impurities material other than the raw material or fuel itself such as soil, stones, metal, plastic, glass DIN EN 15234-6:2012-04 EN 15234-6:2012 (E) 6 3.5

36、surance and quality control measures 5.1 General Quality assurance and control aim to provide confidence that a stable quality is 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
37、 a steady and continually achieved quality in accordance with the customers requirements. The customer is the next operator in the supply chain. Customer requirements include not only the fuel quality, but also the quality of the companys performance, such as documentation (product declaration, labe
38、lling of packaging, etc.), timing and logistics (to provide biofuels in time and to agreed performances criteria). Fuel quality assurance needs to be applied to the entire supply chain. As the supply chains for solid biofuels in the most cases needs to be kept very simple, the same documents are oft
39、en used for documentation of quality assurance and quality control measures. NOTE When the customer is a supplier, a retailer or end user, the customer requirements are usually written in sales contracts. 1) Designation symbols are used in combination with a number to specify property levels (see fo
40、r example Table 1. EN 14961-6:2012). 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 15234-6:2012-04 EN 15234-6:2012 (E) 7 Quality control is fundamentally about controlling the qua
41、lity of a product or process to enable the delivery of the product or service within agreed parameters in the most efficient and cost 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 t
42、he products and processes, primarily through data provided from the quality control records and using this data a) to provide confidence 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 consiste
43、ncy is being maintained (stability in process results) or that quality improvements are making the intended impact. 5.2 Traceability Non-woody pellets for non-industrial use shall be specified with EN 14961-6. The origin and source of solid biofuel is specified by Table 1 in EN 14961-1:2010. The mai
44、n three parts of the supply chain is illustrated in Figure 1. Figure 1 An example for the description of a non-woody pellet supply chain All operators in the supply chain are responsible for the traceability of the origin and source of the material delivered by them. The first operator is responsibl
45、e for the documents being prepared the first time. The documents shall be available and provided on justified request throughout the entire supply chain according to EN 15234-1. DIN EN 15234-6:2012-04 EN 15234-6:2012 (E) 8 5.3 Production requirements The methodology described below for quality assur
46、ance and quality control of the production shall be used, but shall be adjusted for the production requirements of the specific pellets production chain 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
47、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 production and distribution processes (see 5.5, Figures 2 and 3) Step 3: Identify quality influencing factors including company performance (see 5.5,
48、 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 appropriate 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 pro
