Bibliography

This Technical Specification describes methods for taking samples of solid recovered fuels for example from production plants, from deliveries or from stock. It includes manual and mechanical methods.It is not applicable to solid recovered fuels that are formed by liquid or sludge, but it includes dewatered sludge.
