The Pellet or briquette Quality Certificate can be issued for a specific type of fuel, and the owner of the certificate can be the producer, importer, or seller of the product.
The certificate is awarded only and exclusively for a specific fuel product that is under constant supervision and control of the certifying unit and the certificate holder, and it means that the certified pellet meets the requirements of the given class.
Companies holding the PQC certificate are obliged to continuously conduct random checks of the parameters of the product covered by the program. This ensures that the recipient can be confident that the given pellet or briquette has the appropriate properties.
Until 2021, pellet certifications were conducted according to the standard: EN 14961, however, at present, the applicable standard is EN ISO 17225.
