CSA ISO 14780:21

CSA Preface

This is the first edition of CSA ISO 14780, Solid biofuels — Sample preparation, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 14780 (first edition, 2017-04), including ISO Amendment 1:2019.

This Standard defines methods for reducing combined samples (or increments) to laboratory samples and laboratory samples to sub-samples and general analysis samples and is applicable to solid biofuels. The methods defined in this Standard can be used for sample preparation, for example, when the samples are to be tested for calorific value, moisture content, ash content, bulk density, durability, particle size distribution, ash melting behaviour, chemical composition, and impurities.

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.
