DIN EN 15234-4:2012-04 EN 15234-4:2012 (E) 4 Introduction The overall aim of this European Standard is to guarantee the wood chips quality through the whole supply chain,

22、from the origin and source to the delivery of the solid biofuel and provide adequate confidence that specified quality requirements are fulfilled. The objective of this European Standard is to serve as a tool to enable the efficient trading of wood chips. Thereby: 1) the end-user can find wood chips

23、 that corresponds to its needs; 2) the producer/supplier can produce wood chips with defined and consistent properties and describe the fuel to the customers. Quality assurance measures should establish confidence in the wood chips through systems that are simple to operate and do not cause undue bu

24、reaucracy. Wood chips are specified according to EN 14961-4, Solid biofuels Fuel specifications and classes Part 4: Wood chips for non-industrial use. DIN EN 15234-4:2012-04 EN 15234-4:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard defines the procedures to fulfil the quality requirements (quality contro

25、l) and describes measures to ensure adequate confidence that the wood chips specification for non-industrial use as described in EN 14961-4 is fulfilled (quality assurance). This European Standard covers the raw material supply, production and delivery chain, from purchasing of raw materials to poin

26、t of delivery to the end-user. This European standard covers only quality assurance for wood chips produced from the woody biomasses stated in EN 14961-1:2010, Table 1 and EN 14961-4. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. Fo

35、to provide confidence that a stable quality is continually achieved in accordance with the customer requirements. It means that specified requirements are fulfilled, but it does not necessarily mean a high quality but a steady and continually achieved quality in accordance with the customers require

36、ments. The customer is the next operator in the supply chain. Customer requirements include not only the fuel quality, but also the quality of the companys performance, such as documentation (product declaration, labelling of packaging, system for traceability, etc.), timing and logistics (to provid

37、e biofuels in time and to agreed performances criteria). Fuel quality assurance needs to be applied to the entire supply chain. As the supply chains for solid biofuels in the most cases needs to be kept very simple, the same documents are often used for documentation of quality assurance and quality

38、 control measures. NOTE When the customer is a supplier, a retailer or end user, the customer requirements are usually written in sales contracts. Quality control is fundamentally about controlling the quality of a product or process to enable the delivery of the product or service within agreed par

39、ameters in the most efficient and cost effective way. The consequences of having good quality control will be a cost effective product and process. 1) Designation symbols are used in combination with a number to specify property levels (see for example Table 1, EN 14961-4:2011). For designation of c

40、hemical properties chemical symbols like S (sulphur), Cl (chlorine), N (nitrogen) are used and the value is added at the end of the symbol. DIN EN 15234-4:2012-04 EN 15234-4:2012 (E) 7 Quality assurance on the other hand, is about reviewing the products and processes, primarily through data provided

41、 from the quality control records and using this data: a) to provide confidence that products are produced within the required specification and processes are operated as they should be, and b) to assure that over a longer term either consistency is being maintained (stability in process results) or

42、 that quality improvements are making the intended impact. 5.2 Traceability Wood chips for non industrial use shall be specified with EN 14961-4. The origin and source of solid the biofuel is specified by Table 1 in EN 14961-1:2010. There are three parts in the supply chain, illustrated in Figure 1.

43、 Figure 1 Simplified example of wood chips supply chain All operators in the supply chain are responsible for the traceability of the origin and source of the material delivered by them. The first operator is responsible for the documents being prepared the first time. The documents shall be availab

44、le and provided on justified request throughout the entire supply chain according to EN 15234-1. 5.3 Production requirements The methodology described below for quality assurance and quality control of the production shall be used, but shall be adjusted for the production requirements of the specifi

45、c wood chips production chain in question. There are six consecutive steps that have to be followed by every stakeholder in the supply chain. The steps are described below. For examples of documentation, see informative Annex A. Step 1: Define fuel requirements for the final product (see 5.4) Step 2

46、: Document the steps in the raw material supply, production and distribution processes (see 5.5, Figures 2) DIN EN 15234-4:2012-04 EN 15234-4:2012 (E) 8 Step 3: Identify quality influencing factors including company performance (see 5.5, Figure 2) Step 4: Define Critical Control Points for complianc

47、e with the fuel specification (see 5.5, Figure 2) Step 5: Select appropriate measures to assure the quality of the product (see 5.6) Step 6: Establish routines of separate handling of nonconforming raw materials and solid biofuels (see 5.7) The following information will give a general overview abou

48、t documenting the requirements for the production in a wood chips supply chain. 5.4 Fuel requirements for the final product (Step 1) Wood chips for non-industrial use are produced according to EN 14961-4. NOTE The fuel specification is based on EN 14961-1:2010 General part, Table 5 in the case of individually made agreements. 5.5 Process description (Steps 2, 3 and 4) Example of the process description with the correspondi
