This Technical Specification sets requirements for bio-based solvents in terms of properties, limits, application classes and test methods. It lays down the characteristics and details for assessment of bio-based solvents:

- fit for purpose in terms of performance related properties,

- comply with the requirements regarding the health, safety and environment which apply to general solvents,

- are derived from a certain minimum percentage of biomass, and

- comply with at least similar sustainability criteria as comparable (regular) solvents.

The criteria of the Regulation for Environmental Assessment of Chemicals (REACH) [2] are included in the discussions that have led to this Technical Specification.

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.
