scope:

This Technical Specification specifies a method for the determination of moisture in an analysis sample by drying the sample in an oven. This method is suitable for use for general analysis samples in accordance with prCEN/TS 15414-1. It is applicable to all solid recovered fuels. NOTE The term moisture content when used with recovered materials can be misleading since solid recovered materials e.g. biomass frequently contains varying amounts of volatile compounds (extractives) which can evaporate when determining the moisture content of the general analyses sample by oven drying.
