This European standard determines the fuel quality classes and specifications for firewood for non-industrial use. This European standard covers only firewood produced from the following raw material (see
EN 14961-1:2010, Table 1):
- 1.1.1 Whole trees without roots
- 1.2.1 Chemically untreated wood residues
- 1.1.3 Stem wood
- 1.1.4 Logging residues (thick branches, tops, etc.).
NOTE For the avoidance of doubt, demolition wood is not included in the scope of this European Standard. Demolition wood is “used wood arising from demolition of buildings or civil engineering installations” (EN 14588:2010, 4.52).
