is a result from the meat rendering process. The Point of Origin is usually a rendering plant processing animal by-product (APSs) coming from slaughterhouses.
ABPs are categorized into three different categories by the EU depending on their risk potential for human and animal health, (in accordance with the EU animal by-product legislation (Regulation (EC) No 1069/2009):

1. AF cat. 1 & 2 are listed in Annex IX B of the RED and thus do not qualify as „advanced“ but may be eligible for double counting
2. AF cat. 3 and “uncategorized” animal fats are not listed in Annex IX

is the unavoidable wastewater arising from palm oil production at a palm oil mill. It consists mostly of water, and a small percentage of oil and solid matter. Volume and composition vary by fresh fruit bunch composition, processing setup and conditions, and efficiency of the mill.
The following terminology shall be applied under ISCC:

• POME (referring to the wastewater from the palm oil mill)
• POME oil (referring to the oil recovered from the wastewater from the palm oil mill)

are the remains of the fresh fruit bunches after the fruit has been removed (“stripped”) for oil pressing. EFBs are an unavoidable (solid) waste from the palm oil production process. They usually have a high moisture content (which poses challenges for further utilisation of the EFBs) and still contain a small amount of residual oil.
EFBs can undergo a treatment process to reduce the moisture content by applying different technologies, e.g. “EFB Screw Press”. Residual oil can be recovered from “EFB liquor”, the wastewater from EFB treatment. Oil that is recovered from EFBs at the palm oil mill shall be referred to as “EFB oil”.

Bleaching earth refers to natural or activated clay which has the capacity to adsorb coloured materials and other impurities during oil purification processes. The SBEO is the residual oil extracted from the spent and exhausted bleaching earth once it has ceased to fulfil its purifying function. The oil extraction is usually performed with hexane. 

emerges from the oil refining process and is a mixture of glycerides, phosphoglycerides and free fatty acids (FFAs) emulsified in a substantial amount of water. Can be solid or liquid. The Point of Origin is usually a refinery and usually requires a further processing (“soapstock splitting”).

are usually generated during the chemical or physical refining of vegetable oils or during the further processing of such oils (e.g. transesterification with the purpose of biodiesel production or esterification processes within the oleochemical industry). Points of origin of free fatty acids are usually oil mills, refineries and/or biodiesel plants. The amount of free fatty acids generated is in general within a range of 1 to 5 % of the amount of the respective input material (i.e. the crude vegetable oil).

is a simple polyol compound with the formula C₃H₈O₃. It is a colourless, odourless, viscous liquid that is sweet-tasting and non-toxic. It has plenty of applications. In the biodiesel industry it is generated in the transesterification process where natural oils (triglycerides) react with methanol to produce methyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerine.

is a chemical and the simplest alcohol with the formula CH₃OH; it is a light, volatile, colourless a flammable liquid. In the biodiesel industry it is used as a reagent in the transesterification process to produce biodiesel and glycerine out of a triglyceride.
