This document specifies the requirements and method used for the determination of volatile matter of solid biofuels. It is intended for persons and organisations that manufacture, plan, sell, erect or use machinery, equipment, tools and entire plants related to solid biofuels, and to all persons and organisations involved in producing, purchasing, selling and utilising solid biofuels. The volatile matter is determined as the loss in mass, less that due to moisture, when solid biofuel is heated out of contact with air under standardized conditions.
