15    Biomass municipal and industrial materials, if recycled and combusted to produce heat or electricity               CEN/TS 14778 – 1:2005
                                                                                                                         CEN/TS 15442:2006

 (4) A solid fuel may also be sampled in accordance with a standard that is equivalent to a standard set out in the table in subsection (3).
Note: The analysis is carried out in accordance with the same requirements as for method 2.

Division 2.2.5—Measurement of consumption of solid fuels

2.13  Purpose of Division
  This Division sets out how quantities of solid fuels combusted from the operation of a facility are to be estimated for the purpose of working out the emissions released from the combustion of that fuel.

2.14  Criteria for measurement
 (1) For the purpose of calculating the amount of solid fuel combusted from the operation of a facility during a year and, in particular, for Qi in sections 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6, the quantity of combustion must be estimated in accordance with this section.

Acquisition involves commercial transaction
 (2) If the acquisition of the solid fuel involves a commercial transaction, the quantity of fuel combusted must be estimated using one of the following criteria:
 (a) the amount of the solid fuel delivered for the facility during the year as evidenced by invoices issued by the vendor of the fuel (criterion A);
 (b) as provided in section 2.15 (criterion AA);
 (c) as provided in section 2.16 (criterion AAA).
 (3) If, during a year, criterion AA, or criterion AAA using paragraph 2.16(2)(a), is used to estimate the quantity of fuel combusted, then, in each year following that year, only criterion AA, or criterion AAA using paragraph 2.16(2)(a), (respectively) is to be used.

Acquisition does not involve commercial transaction
 (4) If the acquisition of the solid fuel does not involve a commercial transaction, the quantity of fuel combusted must be estimated using one of the following criteria:
 (a) as provided in paragraph 2.16(2)(a) (criterion AAA);
 (b) as provided in section 2.17 (criterion BBB).

2.15  Indirect measurement at point of consumption—criterion AA
 (1) For paragraph 2.14(2)(b), criterion AA is the amount of the solid fuel combusted from the operation of the facility during a year based on amounts delivered for the facility during the year as adjusted for the estimated change in the quantity of the stockpile of the fuel for the facility during the year.
 (2) To work out the adjustment for the estimated change in the quantity of the stockpile of the fuel for the facility during the year, one of the following approaches must be used:
 (a) the survey approach mentioned in subsection (2C);
 (b) the error allowance approach mentioned in subsection (2D).
 (2A) The approach selected must be consistent with the principles mentioned in section 1.13.
