Solid recovered fuels - Determination of moisture content using the oven dry method - Part 2: Determination of total moisture by a simplified method (ISO 21660-2:2025)
This document specifies a method for determination of the moisture content in a test portion of the laboratory sample by drying the test portion in an oven. This method is applicable for routine production control on site, e.g. if a high precision of the determination of moisture content is not required. It is applicable to all solid recovered fuels.
If the solid recovered fuel contains large amounts of oil-fractions, a lower temperature is advisable (e.g. 50 °C ± 10 °C) and a longer drying time until constant mass is achieved. As an alternative, the Karl-Fischer-Titration-Method (see ISO 760[1]) is advisable.
NOTE 1 The total moisture content of recovered fuels is not an absolute value and therefore standardised conditions for its determination are indispensable to enable comparative determinations.
NOTE 2 The term moisture content when used with recovered materials can be misleading since solid recovered materials, e.g. biomass, frequently contain varying amounts of volatile compounds (extractives) which can evaporate when determining the moisture content of the general analyses sample by oven drying.
Feste Sekundärbrennstoffe - Bestimmung des Wassergehaltes unter Verwendung des Verfahrens der Ofentrocknung - Teil 2: Bestimmung des Gesamtgehaltes an Wasser mittels eines vereinfachten Verfahrens (ISO 21660-1:2025)
Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Wassergehaltes in einer Prüfmenge der Laboratoriumsprobe durch Trocknung der Prüfmenge in einem Ofen fest. Dieses Verfahren ist anwendbar für die routinemäßige Produktionskontrolle im Betrieb, z. B. wenn eine Bestimmung des Wassergehaltes nicht mit hoher Präzision erforderlich ist. Es gilt für alle festen Sekundärbrennstoffe.
Wenn der feste Sekundärbrennstoff große Mengen an Ölfraktionen enthält, sind eine niedrigere Temperatur (z. B. 50 °C ± 10 °C) und eine längere Trocknungszeit empfehlenswert, bis die Massekonstanz erreicht ist. Alternativ wird geraten, die Karl-Fischer-Titration (siehe ISO 760[1]) anzuwenden.
ANMERKUNG 1 Der Gesamtgehalt an Wasser von Sekundärbrennstoffen ist kein Absolutwert, weshalb Normbedingungen bei dessen Bestimmung unerlässlich sind, um vergleichbare Bestimmungen zu ermöglichen.
ANMERKUNG 2 Der Begriff Wassergehalt kann bei der Anwendung im Zusammenhang mit Sekundärrohstoffen irreführend sein, weil Sekundärrohstoffe, z. B. Biomasse, oft unterschiedliche Mengen an flüchtigen Verbindungen (Extraktstoffen) enthalten, die bei der Bestimmung des Wassergehaltes einer allgemeinen Analysenprobe durch Ofentrocknung verdampfen können.
Combustibles solides de récupération - Détermination de l'humidité par la méthode de séchage à l'étuve - Partie 2: Détermination de l'humidité totale par une méthode simplifiée (ISO 21660-2:2025)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode de détermination de la teneur en humidité d'une prise d’essai de l'échantillon pour laboratoire en la séchant dans une étuve. Cette méthode est applicable pour un contrôle de la production en routine réalisé in situ, par exemple lorsqu’une fidélité élevée de la détermination de la teneur en humidité n’est pas nécessaire. Elle est applicable à tous les combustibles solides de récupération.
Si le combustible solide de récupération contient de grandes quantités de fractions d'huile, une température plus faible est conseillée (par exemple 50 °C ± 10 °C), ainsi qu'une durée de séchage plus importante jusqu'à l'obtention d'une masse constante. Sinon, il est conseillé d’utiliser la méthode de titrage Karl Fischer (voir l'ISO 760[1]).
NOTE 1 La teneur en humidité totale des combustibles de récupération n'est pas une valeur absolue et il donc nécessaire de normaliser les conditions de sa détermination afin de permettre la réalisation de déterminations comparables.
NOTE 2 Le terme teneur en humidité, lorsqu'il est utilisé avec matière de récupération, peut induire en erreur puisque des matières solides de récupération, par exemple de la biomasse, contiennent fréquemment diverses quantités de composés volatils (extractibles) qui peuvent s'évaporer lors de la détermination de la teneur en humidité de l'échantillon pour analyses générales par séchage en étuve.

Introduction
International Standards facilitate the production, trade and use of solid recovered materials including solid
recovered fuels. Solid recovered fuels are a major source of renewable energy. For the determination of total
[2]
moisture, ISO 21660-3 and this document can be used (in conjunction) by different types of organizations,
including but not limited to:
— solid recovered fuel production and trading companies;
— energy companies;
— regulatory bodies;
— conformity assessment bodies;
— laboratories.
In laboratory practice, different analytical procedures often need to be applied to the laboratory sample that
has been taken according to the sampling plan (see ISO 21645). For this purpose, sub-sampling is applied
in a way that the different test portions are representative of the laboratory sample with respect to the
compounds of interest and the specific analytical procedures. The representativeness of the laboratory
sample and the test portions is of major importance to guarantee the quality and accuracy of analytical
results. The representativeness of the laboratory sample is specified by the sampling plan.
