BS EN 16718:2015

This standard BS EN 16718:2015 Wood and wood based products. Dosage of the total organic carbon (TOC) in wood and wood based products is classified in these ICS categories:

• 79.060.01 Wood-based panels in general

This European Standard describes a method for determining total organic carbon by calculating the difference between the results of measurements of total carbon (TC) and total inorganic carbon (TIC). The identification of the bio-based content given by the stable isotopes such as ¹³C is described also.

This method is applicable to all wood species, wood-based materials (panels, plywood, wood-polymer, etc.) and woods containing chemicals in general.
