DIN EN 15443:2011-05

This standard specifies methods for reducing combined samples to laboratory samples and laboratory samples to sub-samples and general analysis samples. The specified methods may be used for sample preparation, for example, when the samples are to be tested for determination of bulk density, biomass, durability, particle size distribution, moisture content, ash content, ash melting behaviour, calorific value, chemical composition, and impurities. The methods are not intended to be applied to the very large samples required for the testing of bridging properties. The European Standard has been prepared by CEN/TC 343 "Solid recovered fuels", the secretariat of which is held by SFS (Finland). The responsible German committee is Working Committee NA 062-05-83 AA "Sekundärbrennstoffe" ("Recovered fuels") of NMP.
