ISO 13065:2015 specifies principles, criteria
and indicators for the bioenergy supply chain to facilitate assessment of
environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainability.
ISO 13065:2015 is applicable to the whole
supply chain, parts of a supply chain or a single process in the supply chain.
ISO 13065:2015 applies to all forms of bioenergy, irrespective of raw material,
geographical location, technology or end use.
ISO 13065:2015 does not establish thresholds or
limits and does not describe specific bioenergy processes and production
methods. Compliance with ISO 13065:2015 does not determine the sustainability
of processes or products.
ISO 13065:2015 is intended to facilitate
comparability of various bioenergy processes or products. It can also be used
to facilitate comparability of bioenergy and other energy options.
