Foreword
This document (CEN/TS 16214-2:2014) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 383
“Sustainably produced biomass for energy applications”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This standard comprises the following parts:
— EN 16214-1, Sustainability criteria for the production of biofuels and bioliquids for energy applications —
Principles, criteria, indicators and verifiers — Part 1: Terminology;
— CEN/TS 16214-2, Sustainability criteria for the production of biofuels and bioliquids for energy
applications — Principles, criteria, indicators and verifiers — Part 2: Conformity assessment including
chain of custody and mass balance;
— EN 16214-3, Sustainability criteria for the production of biofuels and bioliquids for energy applications —
Principles, criteria, indicators and verifiers — Part 3: Biodiversity and environmental aspects related to
nature protection purposes;
— EN 16214-4, Sustainability criteria for the production of biofuels and bioliquids for energy applications —
Principles, criteria, indicators and verifiers — Part 4: Calculation methods of the greenhouse gas emission
balance using a life cycle analysis approach.
This Part 2 has originally been drafted as a full standard, but due to a lack of consensus in the end it is now be
proposed as a CEN/TS. This would allow the European stakeholders and economic operators to use it in
harmonizing their conformity assessment without the risk of contradicting national legislation and national
sustainability schemes still under development at the moment of publication of this part.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany,
Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland,
Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.
Introduction
Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Commission on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable
sources, referred to as the Renewable Energy Directive (RED, [1]), incorporates an advanced binding
sustainability scheme for biofuels and bioliquids for the European market. The RED contains binding
sustainability criteria for greenhouse gas savings, land with high biodiversity value, land with high carbon
stock and agro-environmental practices. Several articles in the RED present requirements to European
Member States and to economic operators in Europe. Non-EU countries may have different requirements and
criteria on, for instance, the GHG emission reduction set-off in the framework of their own national legislation.
The sustainability criteria for biofuels are also mandated in Directive 98/70/EC relating to the quality of petrol
and diesel fuels [2], via the amending Directive 2009/30/EC (as regards the specification of petrol, diesel and
gas-oil and introducing a mechanism to monitor and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, [3]).
Directive 98/70/EC is referred to as the Fuels Quality Directive (FQD).
Created in 2008, CEN/TC 383 initiated the elaboration of a standardization programme on sustainability
criteria for biomass for energy application. After being contacted by CEN, the European Commission in return
in May 2009 formally wrote to request CEN to work on standard(s) on:
— the implementation of the mass balance method of custody chain management;
— the provisions of evidence that the production of raw material has not interfered with nature protection
purpose;
— the auditing by member states and by voluntary schemes using them of the information submitted by
economic operators.
Both the EC and CEN agreed that these may play a role in the implementation of the EU biofuel and bioliquid
sustainability scheme. In the Communication from the Commission on the practical implementation of the EU
biofuels and bioliquids sustainability scheme and on counting rules for biofuels (2010/C 160/02, [4]),
awareness of the CEN work is indicated.
It is widely accepted that sustainability at large encompasses environmental, social and economic aspects.
The European Directives make mandatory the compliance of several sustainability criteria for biofuels and
bioliquids. This European Standard has been developed with the aim to assist EU Member States and
economic operators with the implementation of EU biofuel and bioliquids sustainability requirements
mandated by the European Directives. This European Standard is limited to certain aspects relevant for a
sustainability assessment of biomass produced for energy applications. Therefore compliance with this
standard or parts thereof alone does not substantiate claims of the biomass being produced sustainably.
This Technical Specification defines requirements for the verification of compliance with the sustainability
criteria for biofuels and bioliquids, in accordance with legal requirements, such as in Article 18 of the RED [1].
In particular, this Technical Specification defines requirements for an adequate standard of independent
auditing of the information submitted by economic operators (Clause 5), and the implementation by economic
operators, of the mass balance method of chain of custody control (Clause 6).
This Technical Specification is a tool that can be used as part of voluntary schemes, national systems or
bilateral agreements.
This Technical Specification defines requirements for a mass balance system which:
a) allows consignments of raw material or biofuel or bioliquids with differing sustainability characteristics to
be mixed;
b) requires information about the sustainability characteristics and sizes of the consignments referred to in
a) to remain assigne
