Anotace textu normy ČSN EN 16766   (659810)

This European Standard sets the requirements for bio-based solvents in terms of their bio-based content, their technical properties and test methods. It lays down the characteristics and details for assessment of bio-based solvents that:

- are fit for purpose in terms of performance related properties,

- comply with the health, safety and environmental requirements which apply generally to solvents, and

- are derived from biomass.

This European Standard specifies solvent classes, based on the percentage of bio-based carbon content and bio-based content.

NOTE: EN 16575 defines the term ´bio-based´ as derived from biomass and clarifies that ´bio-based´ does not imply ´biodegradable´. In addition, ´biodegradable´ does not necessarily imply the use of ´bio-based´ material.

In addition, this document sets requirements on information to be provided regarding sustainability aspects.
