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

Introduction
The volatile matter is determined as the loss in mass of the analysed sample, after moisture removal,
when material is heated up under specific conditions of temperature, time and in a reduced atmosphere
(anoxic conditions). 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 are carefully controlled. It
is also essential to exclude air from the solid recovered fuel during heating to prevent oxidation.
The moisture content of the sample is determined at the same time as the vola
