Frequently Asked Questions
ISO/TC 263 is a Technical Committee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is named "Coalbed methane (CBM)" and is responsible for: Standardization in the field of CBM industry, including CBM exploration, development, production and utilization. This committee has published 4 standards.
ISO/TC 263 develops ISO standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: Standardization in the field of CBM industry, including CBM exploration, development, production and utilization. Currently, there are 4 published standards from this technical committee.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
This document provides a method for determining the specific surface area of solid materials using gas adsorption. This document is applicable to the determination of specific surface area of coal, and other powder and porous materials including nano-powders and nano-grade porous materials with a determination range of 0,001 m2/g to 1 000 m2/g.

ISO 18871:2015 provides methodology for measuring coalbed methane content of coal core samples obtained by coring or sidewall coring during well drilling. It shall be also applied to drill cuttings samples, if the equipment for the determination of the coalbed methane content according to a respective national standard is not available. The selection of the most appropriate method shall consider the purpose of the test and the possibilities of sampling. ISO 18871:2015 is applicable for the direct method of measuring coalbed methane content. It includes sample preparation, experimental procedures and calculation methods. Indirect methods of measuring gas content of coal (not included in this standard) are generally based on either the gas sorption characteristics of coal under defined/specified pressure and temperature conditions. ISO 18871:2015 includes three types of direct measuring methods: conventional desorption (slow desorption) of core samples, fast desorption of core samples, fast desorption of cuttings or lump samples. The difference among them lies in the time allowed for gas to desorb before final crushing and in sample size and shape. ISO 18871:2015 is applicable for the determination of the methane content of coal during coal and coalbed methane exploration for the determination of free gas content of low rank coals is included.
