La présente Norme européenne fournit des équations permettant aux données analytiques relatives aux
biocombustibles solides d'être exprimées sur différentes bases communément utilisées. Il faut prendre en
considération les corrections qui peuvent s’appliquer à certaines valeurs déterminées pour les
biocombustibles solides avant de procéder à des calculs sur d'autres bases.
L’Annexe informative A donne des outils destinés aux vérifications d’intégrité des résultats analytiques.
L’Annexe informative B donne les facteurs de conversion pour un calcul dans d’autres unités. L’Annexe
informative C est une directive d’utilisation des paramètres de validation tels qu’ils peuvent être trouvés dans
les normes analytiques du CEN/TC 335.
Trdna biogoriva - Preračun analiz na različne osnove
Ta evropski standard podaja enačbe, ki dopuščajo izražanje analitičnih podatkov, povezanih s trdnimi biogorivi, na različnih osnovah pri splošni uporabi. Upoštevani so popravki, ki lahko veljajo za nekatere določene vrednosti trdnih biogoriv, pred njihovim izračunom za druge osnove.
V informativnem dodatku A so podana orodja za pregled celovitosti analitičnih rezultatov. V informativnem dodatku B so podani faktorji pretvorbe za izračun v druge enote. Informativni dodatek C je smernica za uporabo potrditve parametrov, ki so lahko v analitičnih standardih CEN/TC 335.
