15-edo can be seen as a [[7-limit]] tuning because of its ability to approximate some septimal intervals, but it also contains some approximations to [[11-limit]] intervals.

""In music, 15 equal temperament, called 15-TET, 15-EDO, or 15-ET, is the tempered scale derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 15 equal steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 2^(1/15), or 80 [[cent]]s. Because 15 factors into 3 times 5, it can be seen as being made up of three scales of [[5edo|5 equal divisions of the octave]] (or five scales of [[3edo]])."

15-edo can be seen as a [[7-limit]] temperament because of its ability to approximate some septimal intervals, but it also contains some fairly obvious approximations to [[11-limit]] intervals, so it can reasonably be described as an 11-limit temperament; however, due to its rather distant approximation of the 3rd harmonic (and therefore the 9th harmonic as well), those seeking to approximate JI with 15-edo would be best advised to avoid chords requiring those harmonics.
