本欧洲标准规定了生物基溶剂的生物基含量，技术性能和试验方法。它列出了生物基溶剂评估的特点和细节: - 适用于性能相关属性的目的; - 符合通常适用于溶剂的健康，安全和环境要求;和 - 源于生物量。 本欧洲标准根据生物基碳含量和生物基含量的百分比来确定溶剂类别。 注释EN 16575定义了从生物量得出的术语“基于生物的”，并澄清“生物基”并不意味着“可生物降解”。此外，“生物可降解”并不一定意味着使用“基于生物的”材料。 此外，本文件还将就可持续性方面提供的信息设定要求

This European Standard sets the requirements for bio-based solvents in terms of their bio-based content, their technical properties and test methods. It lays down the characteristics and details for assessment of bio-based solvents that: - are fit for purpose in terms of performance related properties; - comply with the health, safety and environmental requirements which apply generally to solvents; and - are derived from biomass. This European Standard specifies solvent classes, based on the percentage of bio-based carbon content and bio-based content. NOTE EN 16575 defines the term "bio-based" as derived from biomass and clarifies that "bio-based" does not imply "biodegradable". In addition, "biodegradable" does not necessarily imply the use of "bio-based" material. In addition, this document sets requirements on information to be provided regarding sustainability aspects.
