3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply 3.1 barbecue charcoal solid remainder of carbonization of wood or other vegetable matter that does not spit/spark abnormally when burning and has not been artificially chemically treated or artificially chemically prepared whereby the main constituent is carbon and the ash content is minimal 3.2 barbecue charcoal briquette
barbecue charcoal briquettes are produced by compressing barbecue charcoal particles together with a suitable binder 3.3 impregnated barbecue charcoal and impregnated barbecue charcoal briquette SIST EN 1860-2:2005

3.7.1 total moisture of barbecue charcoal and barbecue charcoal briquettes water contained in the barbecue charcoal and the barbecue charcoal briquettes which is driven off at 105°C 3.7.2 total moisture of impregnated barbecue charcoal and impregnated barbecue charcoal briquettes water contained in the impregnated barbecue charcoal and the impregnated barbecue charcoal briquettes which is removed by distillation with toluene 3.8 granulation percentage by weight of charcoal which has been screened between two specific sizes
3.9 binder product which when added to charcoal granules holds the particles together in a permanent solid mass 3.10 chemical sustainers chemicals such as nitrates and nitrites added as oxidising agents to sustain burning 3.11 repeatability results of duplicate determinations, carried out at different times in the same laboratory by the same operator using the same apparatus on duplicate samples taken from the same gross sample at the last stage of sample preparation, should not differ by more than the values indicated in 6.1.6, 6.2.6 and 6.3.6
3.12 reproducibility
means of the results of duplicate determinations, carried out in each of two different laboratories on representative portions taken from the same gross sample at the final stage of sample preparation, should not differ by more than the values indicated in 6.1.6, 6.2.6 and 6.3.6 4 Requirements 4.1 General Impregnated barbecue charcoal and impregnated barbecue charcoal briquettes shall fulfil the requirements for barbecue charcoal and barbecue charcoal briquettes together with the requirements of EN 1860-3.

Requirements for barbecue charcoal briquettes 4.3.1 Fixed carbon The fixed carbon of dry barbecue charcoal briquettes shall be minimum 60%, calculated in accordance with 6.4. 4.3.2 Ash The ash content of dry barbecue charcoal briquettes shall be maximum 18%, when tested in accordance with 6.3. 4.3.3 Moisture The moisture content of barbecue charcoal briquettes shall not be above 8%, when tested in accordance with 6.1. SIST EN 1860-2:2005

4.3.5 Binder The binder must cause no health hazards when its combustion gases come into contact with food and the binder itself must be food grade quality. 4.4 Inadmissible additions 4.4.1 Microscopic analysis Microscopic analysis in accordance with 6.5 should not detect more than 10 particles in 1 000 particles of any substance which is not normally found after the distillation of wood to produce wood charcoal or in permissible binder in wood charcoal briquettes. The following inclusions are examples of inadmissible substances. Organic: such as all fossil coals and derivatives thereof, petroleum, coke, pitch, plastic, etc. Inorganic: such as glass, slag, rust, splinters of metal, stone powder, etc. The total of all detected inadmissible additions should not exceed 1% by volume, when tested in accordance with 6.5.
4.4.2 Chemical burning sustainers, shall not be permitted. 5 Sampling 5.1 Sampling for granulometry The granulation test must be carried out using randomly selected bags on general sale using a minimum total
sample weight of 40 kg. Take the whole of each package and combine it to form the sample for granulometry analysis. 5.2
Sampling for testing ash, moisture, volatile and microscopic analyses 5.2.1 Preparation Take the whole of the sample used to test granulometry and crush until 100% of the whole sample is less than 20 mm. The samples for individual analysis are obtained from this < 20 mm sample by the quartering method. 5.2.2 Materials for use in the quartering method A suitable sized sheet of glazed paper or plastic. A cardboard or wooden board of suitable dimensions. SIST EN 1860-2:2005

Table 1 — Precision of the method Maximum acceptable differences
Between results obtained
In the same laboratory (Repeatability) In different laboratories (Reproducibility) Total moisture content 0,5% absolute 0,7% absolute
6.2 Volatiles The test is empirical and, in order to ensure reproducible results, it is essential that the rate of heating, the final temperature and the overall duration of the test shall be carefully controlled. The moisture content of the sample shall be determined at the same time as the volatile matter content so that the appropriate correction can be made. The apparatus and procedure are so specified that one or more determinations may be carried out simultaneously in the muffle furnace. SIST EN 1860-2:2005
