Preface:

This is the second edition of CSA ISO 16993, Solid biofuels — Conversion of analytical results from one basis to another, which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 16993 (second edition, 2016-07-01). It supersedes the previous edition, published in 2015 as CAN/CSA-ISO 16993 (adopted ISO 16993:2015).

This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope:

This International Standard gives formulae which allow analytical data relating to solid biofuels to be expressed on the different bases in common use. Consideration is given to corrections that can be applied to certain determined values for solid biofuels prior to their calculation to other bases.

In Annex A, tools for integrity checks of analytical results are given. In Annex B, conversion factors for calculation into other units are given. Annex C is a guideline for the use of validation parameters as can be found in ISO/TC 238 analytical standards.
