Subcategories of the above stated raw materials are included.

ISO/TS 17225-8:2016 does not consider products, which are marketed as charcoal or as charcoal products. For these products, ISO 17225-1:2014, Table 14 shall apply.

NOTE 1 For thermally treated powder, ISO 17225-1:2014, Table 15 or Table 16 may be used for specification.

NOTE 2 Health, safety and environmental issues for solid biofuels are important and need special attention; however, they are outside the scope of this document.
