International standard used to determine the biomass content in solid recovered fuels
It supersedes EN 15440

ISO 13833

International standard developed to address the need for accurate and reliable data for carbon emissions trading
Can only be used to determine the fractions of biomass-derived and fossil-fuel derived carbon dioxide (CO2) in the total emitted CO2 from exhaust gases of stationary sources
