This standard specifies performance criteria and test procedures for checking compliance with these performance criteria on portable devices for measuring moisture (wood moisture) of lumpy wood at small firing installations according to the Ordinance on Small and Medium Firing Installations (1. BImSchV) or the Order on Sweeping and Checking (KÜO). It applies to all performance tests of measuring devices for the measurement of wood moisture of lumpy wood provided as split logs (split or non-split, sawn, planed, with or without bark), which are used as fuel in small firing installations.

Furthermore, this standard specifies the requirements on test institutes and explains the declaration of suitable measuring devices.
