About This Item
TS EN 16575 is a vocabulary standard for the field of bio-based products. Rather than setting product requirements or test limits, it establishes a common technical language so that manufacturers, suppliers, laboratories, and standards writers use key terms in the same way.
Why vocabulary matters in bio-based products
Bio-based products are materials, components, or finished goods derived wholly or partly from renewable biological sources such as biomass. In this field, precise terminology is especially important because related concepts can be easily confused. “Bio-based” refers to the origin of the carbon or material feedstock; it does not automatically mean biodegradable, compostable, or environmentally preferable. Clear definitions help separate source, composition, and environmental behaviour.
What this standard covers
According to the scope, this European Standard defines general terms to be used in the field of bio-based products, including horizontal aspects relevant to bio-based product standards. In practical terms, it provides a shared terminology framework that can be used across different bio-based product documents, supporting consistency in drafting, communication, and comparison across sectors.
- Aligns terminology across bio-based product standards.
- Supports consistent use of shared technical concepts.
- Helps distinguish feedstock origin from end-of-life behaviour.
- Provides a common language for cross-sector bio-based materials and products.
