What is ENplus?

  • A “quality certification” program
  • Track and Trace.
  • Based on EN/ISO Standards.
  • Owned by AEBIOM/EPC
  • Operated by a National Licenser or by EPC

depending on country.

  • WPAC is the Canadian National Licensor.
  • Certified by Control Union.
  • Driven by the European residential heating /

cogen market.

What is CANplus?

  • CANplusTM owned and operated by WPAC.
  • For pellets sold in Canada.
  • Currently, requirements mirror those of

ENplus.

Steps to Certification – Quality Classes

  • A1, A2, and B (industrial)

– Input/Raw materials. – Quality Parameters.

slide-8

Steps to Certification – Raw Material

  • Always has to be 100% from the class.
  • Requirements on additives

Steps to Certification – Quality Management

  • Quality Manager

– Qualification, competence, experience for the job. – Responsible for pellet quality and also internal documentation. – Bi‐annual external training.

  • Technical Operating Equipment

– Inspection of raw materials for contamination. – Raw material storage. (e.g. paved) – Cleanliness inspection of vehicles. – After malfunction, a method and process to remove all potential

  • ut‐of‐spec pellets and quality‐testing of produced pellets.

– Sieve/screen. – In‐house laboratory.

Steps to Certification – Internal Documentation

  • Incoming/outgoing goods

– Date, quality, inspection results, supplier/customer, etc.

  • Additives
  • Previous load
  • Production tonnage (to be reported monthly) and exempted sale
  • Operating Log

– Any issues, repairs, maintenance, next scheduled maintenance and completion, resolutions, pellet quality inspection results, quantity

  • f discarded pellets, etc.
  • Training Record and employee responsibilities.
  • Complaint log
  • Self‐inspections (“in‐house” inspections)

Steps to Certification – Self‐inspections

  • Inspection Equipment

– What the EN/ISO standard calls for.

  • Inspection Parameters

– Bulk density (EN15103) – Mechanical durability (EN15210‐1) – Fines (EN15210‐1) – Length (EN16127) – Moisture (EN 14774‐2)

  • Inspection Parameters

– Bulk density (Cylinder) – Mechanical durability (lignometer or tumbler) – Fines (ISO3310‐2 sieve) – Length (caliper resolution 0.1 mm) – Moisture (chamber 105±2 °C etc.)

Steps to Certification – Self‐inspections

  • Inspection Equipment

– What the EN/ISO standard calls for. – Calibration. – Scale resolution. – If in doubt, contact us with the model number.

  • Inspection Parameters

– Bulk density (Cylinder) – Mechanical durability (lignometer or tumbler) – Fines (ISO3310‐2 sieve) – Length (caliper resolution 0.1 mm) – Moisture (chamber 105±2 °C etc.) – Mechanical durability (lignometer or tumbler) – Fines (ISO3310‐2 sieve) – Length (caliper resolution 0.1 mm) – Moisture (chamber 105±2 °C etc.)

Steps to Certification – Self‐inspections

  • Inspection Frequency

– Greater of once a shift or N shown below.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Steps to Certification – in‐house sample retention

  • Used to verify quality when complaints are received.
  • Sealed bags with consecutive numbers.
  • Producer: 1.5 kg each day.
  • Trader: 500 g per delivery vehicle – bag# on delivery slip.
  • Suitable storage conditions.
  • Retain for 9 months (for producers, 274 samples x 1.5 kg = 411 kg).

Steps to Certification – Sustainability

  • Sustainability requirement

– “Statement of Commitment” to sustainable sourcing. – Record input from forest conformity certification systems.

  • Carbon Footprint

– CO2‐eq emission – Calculation tool provided by EPC.

I’m ready. Now what?

  • Application to WPAC.
  • Report projected production.
  • Select an inspection body and testing body and apply.
  • Pay license fee.
  • Audit.
  • NC resolutions.
  • Certification.
  • Report Produced Quantities.
  • Surveillance audit

– Once a year for producers. – Once in three years for traders.
