Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information

ISO 17225-1:2014(E)
Introduction
The objective of the ISO 17225 series is to provide unambiguous and clear classification principles for
solid biofuels and to serve as a tool to enable efficient trading of biofuels and to enable good understanding
between seller and buyer as well as a tool for communication with equipment manufacturers. It will also
facilitate authority permission procedures and reporting.
The ISO 17225 series is made for all stakeholders.
Solid biomass covers organic, non-fossil material of biological origin which may be used as fuel for heat
and electrical generation.
Figure 1 describes the bioenergy utilization chain from sources of biomass, to biofuel production to final
use of bioenergy. Although biomass can be used for energy generation it has many other primary uses
(non-fuels) as a raw material for construction, furniture, packaging, paper products, etc.
Figure 1 — ISO TC 238 within the biomass — Biofuel — Bioenergy field
The classifications given in this International Standard are provided with the objective of using biomass
as a solid biofuel and therefore do not deal with all other uses.
Although these product standards may be obtained separately, they require a general understanding of
the standards based on and supporting ISO 17225-1. It is recommended to obtain and use ISO 17225-1
in conjunction with these standards.
In these product standards, graded means that solid biofuel is used either in commercial applications,
such as in households and small commercial and public sector buildings
