    CSA Preface


    This is the first edition of CAN/CSA-ISO 16559, Solid biofuels - Terminology, definitions and descriptions, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 16559 (first edition, 2014-07-15). For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as CAN/CSA-ISO 16559 throughout.


    This Standard is one of many Standards developed by ISO/TC 238 on Solid Biofuels that are being adopted by CSA Group. This Standard has been written in accordance with ISO 10241. This Standard is based on European Standard EN 14588:2010 as well as on approved National Standards and manuals. Some of the terms included in this Standard are only used in particular countries.


    In this Standard, instead of the legal definition waste, the technical terms residue and by-product are used to describe co-products from forestry and arboriculture, agriculture and horticulture, and aquaculture as well as related industries. The terms and definitions are harmonized as far as possible with the current language used in management as well as in regulatory activities.


    This Standard determines the terminology and definitions for solid biofuels. This Standard only includes raw and processed material originating from


    - forestry and arboriculture;


    - agriculture and horticulture; and


    - aquaculture.


    This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.


    Scope


    This international standard determines the terminology and definitions for solid biofuels. According to the scope of the ISO/TC 238 this standard only includes raw and processed material originating from


    - forestry and arboriculture;


    - agriculture and horticulture; and


    - aquaculture


    NOTE 1 Raw and processed material includes woody, herbaceous, fruit and aquatic biomass from the sectors mentioned above.


    NOTE 2 Chemically treated material does not include halogenated organic compounds or heavy metals at levels higher than those in typical virgin material values or higher than typical values of the country of origin.


    Materials originating from different recycling processes of end-of-life-products are not within the scope but relevant terms are included for information. Areas covered by ISO/TC28/SC7 Liquid biofuels and ISO/TC193 Natural gas are excluded.


    Other standards with a different scope than this International Standard may have different definitions than this standard.
