Solid recovered fuels - Methods for the determination of the content of elements (Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P, S, Si, Ti, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mo, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, Sn, Tl, V, Zn) (ISO 3884:2025)

This technical specification outlines the analytical procedures for determining the elemental composition of solid recovered fuels. The methodology addresses a comprehensive list of chemical elements, including aluminum, calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, sodium, phosphorus, sulfur, silicon, titanium, arsenic, barium, beryllium, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, mercury, molybdenum, manganese, nickel, lead, antimony, selenium, tin, thallium, vanadium, and zinc. By establishing a uniform framework for laboratory analysis, the document ensures consistency and accuracy in testing results across different facilities. It serves as a critical reference for characterizing the chemical makeup of these fuels, which is essential for quality control and compliance assessments. The approach detailed herein facilitates the reliable measurement of trace and major elements, thereby supporting informed decision-making regarding fuel suitability and environmental impact. This work aligns with international practices to harmonize analytical techniques within the field of renewable energy resources and waste management.
