IBI began work on the now-merged IBI Biochar Standards in May 2009. 
The IBI Biochar Standards provided the tools needed to universally and
consistently define what biochar is, and to confirm that a product intended for
sale or use as biochar possesses the necessary characteristics for safe use. The
IBI Biochar Standards also provided common reporting requirements for
biochar that will aid researchers in their ongoing efforts to link specific
functions of biochar to its beneficial soil and crop impacts.
