This European Standard sets requirements for bio-based solvents in terms of properties, limits, applicationclasses and test methods. It lays down the characteristics and details for assessment of bio-based solvents: - fit for purpose in terms of performance related properties; - that comply with the requirements regarding the health, safety and environment which apply to general solvents; and - that are derived from a certain minimum percentage of biomass. In addition this document provides detail on information required to address the sustainability of the product. This is essential information as this will provide a basis to choose the most sustainable solvent.
