Full title and description

STB DD CEN TS 13130-25-2005 — Draft Danish/Slovak (STB DD) adoption of CEN Technical Specification CEN TS 13130-25:2005. This technical specification is part of the CEN/TC 153 series dealing with sampling and analysis methods for solid recovered fuels and related materials. Part 25 defines guidance and methods related to the determination of specific physical or chemical parameters (as specified in the CEN TS series) for quality assessment and classification of alternative fuels.

Abstract

This document is the national draft/adoption of CEN Technical Specification 13130-25:2005. It provides standardized procedures and guidance for sampling, sample preparation or analytical determination of certain properties of solid recovered fuels and similar waste-derived fuels used in energy recovery. The aim is to ensure consistent, reproducible and comparable results across laboratories and users, supporting compliance with quality specifications and regulatory requirements.

General information

• Status: Adopted national draft of a CEN Technical Specification (historic 2005 publication)
• Publication date: 2005
• Publisher: CEN (European Committee for Standardization) — adopted/implemented as national draft by STB (national body)
• ICS / categories: 75.160 (Solid fuels), 13.060 (Sampling and sample preparation)
• Edition / version: 2005 (technical specification, part of the 13130 series)
• Number of pages: Typically 10–30 pages (exact page count varies by national publication)

Scope

This technical specification gives methods and guidance for the sampling, sample handling, preparation and/or analytical determination of selected properties of solid recovered fuels and related alternative fuels. It is intended to support standardized measurement practices to assess fuel quality for combustion and energy recovery applications, enabling end-users, producers and testing laboratories to produce comparable and reliable data for classification, trading and regulatory compliance.

Key topics and requirements

• Standardised procedures for sampling solid recovered fuels to obtain representative samples.
• Guidance on sample preparation, storage and transportation to maintain integrity before analysis.
• Methods for determination of physical properties and selected chemical parameters relevant to fuel quality (e.g., moisture, calorific value, ash content, volatile matter).
• Requirements for accuracy, repeatability and inter-laboratory comparability of analytical results.
• Recommendations for reporting of results, including units, significant figures and sample description.

Typical use and users

Users of this technical specification include testing and analytical laboratories, solid recovered fuel producers and traders, waste management companies, incineration and energy-from-waste plant operators, environmental regulators and certification bodies. It is used to design and perform sampling and testing programs for quality control, acceptance testing, compliance checks and contractual specification of alternative fuels.
