Main principles of European Standardization


Mandates on bio-based products

� Mandate: request from EC to develop specific standards or study feasibility and propose standardization programme in specific field

� Within framework of Lead Market Initiative

� Mandates in the field of bio-based products:

•M/429 on the elaboration of a standardization programme for bio-based products

•M/430 on bio-polymers and bio-lubricants

•M/491 on bio-solvents and bio-surfactants

•M/492 for the development of horizontal standards for bio-based products

BTWG 209 Bio-based products*


� Created in May 2011

� Scope: standards for bio-based products covering

horizontal aspects:� consistent terminology� sampling� certification tools� bio-based content� application of and correlation towards life cycle analysis� sustainability criteria for biomass used & final products� aspects where further harmonisation is needed at horizontal level

� Focus on bio-based products, other than food & feed and

bio-mass for energy

� Also development of standards for bio-solvents according

to M/491
