What is PD CEN/TR 16721– Bio-based products about?
PD CEN/TR 16721 gives an overview of methods which can be used for the determination of the bio-based content of solid, liquid and gaseous products. It describes more specifically:
- a method using the radiocarbon analysis and elemental analysis: this method is based on a statement and a verification of the composition of the products
- methods based on measurement of stable isotopic ratio
- a method based on the material balance
PD CEN/TR 16721 gives guidance on the applicability of the different methods.
PD CEN/TR 16721 also gives recommendations for the further development of European Standards for the determination of the bio-based content.
