CESI

Aim

Directive 2001/77/EC includes in its scope the production of electricity from biomass, being defined as the biodegradable fraction of products, waste and residues from agriculture, forestry and related industries, as well as the biodegradable fraction of industrial and municipal waste.

In this context the EC gave a mandate (M325) to CEN to develop and validate Technical Specification (TS) concerning SRF for energy recovery and to transform these TS into European Standards.

To meet these requests, the consortium proposes a holistic validation programme covering quality management and the validation exercises for the pre-standards of CEN TC 343.

CESI

Aim

QUOVADIS focuses on the organisation and evaluation of the validation for sampling, sample pre-treatment, and measurement Technical Specification (TS) provided by CEN/TC 343 “Solid Recovered Fuels”.

The work will include also a validation of TS for Quality Management and for a SRF classification system.

The endorsement of the new standards in the new Member States it is also considered.
