A sample of the production is to be taken and tested according EN ISO 17225-2 for verification of pellet quality. 2 SCOPE OF APPLICATION The test results given in this report have been obtained under the specific conditions of the individual tests. They shall serve as proof for the conformity of the sample(s) tested. The client is responsible for the conformity of products with ENplus regulations which will be assured when quality assurance measures according ENplus regulations are continuously applied. 3 INSPECTION AUDIT The inspection audit was carried out according ENplus Handbook 3.0 (version August 2015) on 2016-02-07 by Dr. Martin Englisch attended by Mr. Motti Rosen. Duration of audit was approximately 4 hours. Responsibilities in the factory are assigned clearly, a company organogram exists. The responsibility in the company is divided as follows: Contact person: Mr. Motti Rosen Quality manager: Mr. Motti Rosen Responsible for the production of pellets: Mr. Motti Rosen Responsible for quality assurance: Mr. Hanan Weizmann BEA 2016025 Page 2 3.1 Products Certified products wood pellets EN ISO 17225-2, class A1 Dimensions 6 mm ENplus ID not yet certified Certification body HFA Delivery to end customer Pellets will only be sold in bulk and in 15 kg bags.

EN ISO 17225-1) Raw material species > 95% conifers, mixture of spruce and pine Form of raw material Sawdust, offcuts Raw material storage The raw material is stored indoors. Offcuts and discarded defected boards are chipped and dried together with sawdust. Dried material is stored in a small silo. Control and documentation of raw material All incoming raw material is visually inspected and hand sorted. Suppliers A list of suppliers exist Sustainability of raw material 0 % certified Other raw materials used (e.g. pressing aids) No additives or binders are used. BEA 2016025 Page 3 3.3 Production process Raw material preparation Chipper, hammer mill Drying LPG fired drum drier Separation of contaminants and impurities metal separators Pellet production The dry raw material is pelletized with 2 ring die presses and cooled by a counter current cooler. Removal of fines Fines are removed by two vibrating sieves with suitable size and sieve aperture, dust is removed by air separators. Non complying pellets A possibility for separation of low quality batches exists (manual). Documentation of failures, breakdowns and maintenance A shift book exists containing all relevant information. Carbon footprint of production Will be calculated 2017. 3.4 Quality control measures The factory production control is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the regulations. Tests are done regular and are documented properly. Parameter Test frequency Test equipment Moisture Every 2 hours Humimeter BP1 Bulk density Every 2 hours 5l bulk density cylinder Mechanical durability Every 2 hours Tumbler 1000 (BEA) Length Every 2 hours Caliper rule Fines Every 2 hours visual, full bag once a day 3,15mm sieve Instruments are maintained properly. BEA 2016025 Page 4 3.5 Quality assurance Quality management system Documentation raw material R.Y.L Greenwood has SOP’s including topics like:  Responsibilities  Self inspection  Customer complaint management  Check and documentation of In- and Outgoing goods All incoming raw materials are documented and are checked by staff. Since additives are not used, there is no documentation. Customer complaint management is implemented. Customer complaints 0 complaints were recorded (new production, no pellets sold yet) Documentation of outgoing goods Documentation of outgoing goods is done according to the requirements. Check of temperature of outgoing goods Not necessary, no part load delivery. 3.6 Retain samples Retain samples pellets Not necessary, no part load delivery Retain sample labelling - Storage for retain samples - 3.7 Labelling Requirements concerning labelling will be implemented as soon as the certification process is finished. 4 SAMPLING Samples were taken following the principles of EN 14778. A sample (15 kg bag) was taken from the production and was brought to the auditor’s lab by the auditor. The production was started shortly before the audit. The sample taken during the audit did not conform with durability requirements. After the audit, documented improvements concerning cooling procedure resulted in an improved product. A second sample was submitted 23.3.2016 by the client. BEA 2016025 Page 5 5 TESTS Testing took place in February - March 2016. The tests were carried out according EN ISO 17225-2 in cooperation with a subcontractor (heavy metals). 6 PELLET LAB ANALYSIS RESULTS Sample 2016025 Pellets Standard unit Limit values according ENplus Class A1 Class A2 1 mechanical durability ISO 17831-1 [%]  98,0  97,5 98,7 bulk density (ar) ISO 17828 [kg/m³] 667 750BD600 750BD600 moisture content ISO 18134-2 [%] 6,8  10  10 ash content 550°C (db) ISO 18122 [%] 0,53  0,7  1,2 net calorific value (ar) EN 14918 [MJ/kg] 17,5  16,5  16,5 net calorific value (ar) EN 14918 [kWh/kg] 4,9  4,6  4,6 Sulphur content (db) ISO 16994 [%] 0,007  0,04  0,05 Chlorine content (db) ISO 16994 [%] 0,007  0,02  0,02 Nitrogen content (db) ISO 16948 [%] 0,15  0,30  0,50 pressing aid / additives [%] none 2 2 dimensions fines (< 3,15 mm) EN 15149 [%] 0,4 0,5* / 1 0,5* / 1 length (3,15  L  40 mm) ISO 17829 [%] 99,6 > 98,5* / >98 > 98,5* / >98 length (40  L  45 mm) ISO 17829 [%] 0 1 1 length ( > 45 mm) ISO 17829 [amount] none 0 0 diameter ISO 17829 [mm] 6 6 or 8  1 6 or 8  1 heavy metals Chromium (db) ISO 16968 [mg/kg] 3  10  10 Copper (db) ISO 16968 [mg/kg] 7  10  10 Zinc (db) ISO 16968 [mg/kg] 10  100  100 Lead (db) ISO 16968 [mg/kg] 0,5  10  10 Mercury (db) ISO 16968 [mg/kg] <0,05  0,1  0,1 Cadmium (db) ISO 16968 [mg/kg] 0,08  0,5  0,5 Arsenic (db) ISO 16968 [mg/kg] <0,05 1 1 Nickel (db) ISO 16968 [mg/kg] 0,5  10  10 ash melting behaviour (ash preparation at 815°C) shrinking temperature SST CEN/TS 15370-1 [°C] 1010 deformation temperature DT CEN/TS 15370-1 [°C] 1240  1200  1100 hemisphere temperature HT CEN/TS 15370-1 [°C] 1540 flow temperature FT CEN/TS 15370-1 [°C] >1550 * Mechanische Festigkeit wurde an Muster 2016025-2 gemessen mit dem Probeneingang 23.03.2016 *…..for bagged pellets ar…as received db...dry basis 1 sample submitted 23.3.2016 BEA 2016025 Page 6 Page 7 7 SUMMARY The pellet production of R.Y.L Greenwood Energy LTD in Karmiel, Israel, is complying with all requirements of ENplus, quality A1. Deviations from 2015:  None, initial inspection in 2016. Type A and type B non-conformities:  The production was started shortly before the audit.
