TS EN 15357

TS EN 15357 is the Turkish catalogue record of a terminology standard for solid recovered fuels. It brings together the terms, definitions and descriptions used in the field of production and trade of solid recovered fuels prepared from non-hazardous waste, with the practical aim of establishing a common technical language for this subject area.

What this terminology standard does

Solid recovered fuels are fuels obtained from waste-derived material streams and prepared for energy use. In this field, consistent use of terms such as production, trade, characteristics, classification and definition matters because the material may come from different input streams, different processing routes and different quality expectations. The role of this standard is to organise the vocabulary of the technical field so that the same concept is understood in the same way across documents, organisations and professional contexts.

Scope boundaries and technical context

The scope stated for this document is the set of terms and definitions used within standardisation work under CEN/TC 343. In other words, it focuses on naming and explaining concepts related to SRF; it is not, by itself, a product specification or a test-method standard that sets performance limits. The terminology should therefore be read in the context of non-hazardous waste-derived solid recovered fuels and the production and trade environment in which they are used.

In general technical terms, SRF is produced by processing, separating and preparing waste-derived materials to achieve fuel properties suitable for recovery and energy use. A terminology standard is valuable here because it prevents confusion between feedstock, processed fuel, classification language and commercial descriptions, helping the sector communicate with precision.
