This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the bio-based carbon content in products, based on the 14C content measurement.<\/p>\n
This European Standard also specifies two test methods to be used for the determination of the 14C content from which the bio-based carbon content is calculated:<\/p>\n
Method A: Liquid scintillation-counter method (LSC);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Method B: Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
A third method, Method C: Beta ionization (BI) can also be used for the determination of the 14C content and is described in Annex D (informative)<\/p>\n
The bio-based carbon content is expressed by a fraction of sample mass or as a fraction of the total carbon content. This calculation method is applicable to any product containing carbon, including bio composites.<\/p>\n
\nNOTE This European Standard does not provide the methodology for the calculation of the biomass content of a sample see prEN 16785\u20131 [5] and prEN 16785\u20132 [6].<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
