本欧洲标准规定了基于放射性碳分析和元素分析确定产品中基于生物的内容的方法。 本欧洲标准适用于任何含碳元素的固体，液体和气体产品，只要提供产品组成和产地的声明即可。 该方法不需要用于确定完全衍生自生物质的天然产物中的生物基含量

This European Standard specifies a method of determining the bio-based content in products, based on the radiocarbon analysis and elemental analysis. This European Standard is applicable to any solid, liquid and gaseous product containing carbon element, provided that a statement giving the composition and the origin of the product is available. This method is not needed for the determination of the bio based content in natural products wholly derived from biomass.
