ISO 18123:2015旨在确定用于确定固体生物燃料挥发性物质含量的要求和方法。适用于制造，计划，销售，架设或使用与固体生物燃料相关的机械，设备，工具和整个工厂，以及参与生产，采购，销售和利用固体生物燃料的所有人员和组织的个人和组织。 当固体生物燃料在标准条件下经受部分热解时，挥发物质含量被确定为质量损失小于水分的损失

ISO 18123:2015 aims to define the requirements and method used to determine the volatile matter content of solid biofuels. It is intended for persons and organisations that manufacture, plan, sell, erect or use machinery, equipment, tools, and entire plants related to solid biofuels, and to all persons and organisations involved in producing, purchasing, selling, and utilizing solid biofuels. The volatile matter content is determined as the loss in mass, less that due to moisture, when solid biofuel is subject to partial pyrolysis under standardized conditions.
