TP220 - Uredba o fizikalno-kemijskih lastnostih tekočih goriv

This document specifies a laboratory method for the determination of the distillation characteristics
of light and middle distillates derived from petroleum and related products of synthetic or biological
origin with initial boiling points above 0 °C and end-points below approximately 400 °C, utilizing either
manual or automated equipment. Light distillates are typically automotive engine petrol, automotive
engine ethanol fuel blends with up to 85 % (V/V) ethanol, and aviation petrol. Middle distillates are
typically aviation turbine fuel, kerosene, diesel, diesel with up to 30 % (V/V) FAME, burner fuel, and
marine fuels that have no appreciable quantities of residua.
NOTE For the purposes of this document, the term “% (V/V)” is used to represent the volume fraction of a
material.
The distillation (volatility) characteristics of hydrocarbons and related products of synthetic or
biological origin have an important effect on their safety and performance, especially in the case of
fuels and solvents. The boiling range gives important information on composition and behaviour during
storage and use, and the rate of evaporation is an important factor in the application of many solvents.
Limiting values to specified distillation characteristics are applied to most distillate petroleum product
and liquid fuel specifications in order to control end-use performance and to regulate the formation
of vapours which may form explosive mixtures with air, or otherwise escape into the atmosphere as
emissions (VOC).

This document specifies the requirements for fuels for use in marine diesel engines and boilers, prior
to conventional onboard treatment (settling, centrifuging, filtration) before use. The specifications for
fuels in this document can also be applied to fuels used in stationary diesel engines of the same or
similar type as those used for marine purposes.
This document specifies seven categories of distillate fuels, one of which is for diesel engines used for
emergency purposes. It also specifies six categories of residual fuels.
For the purposes of this document, the term “fuels” is currently used to include the following:
— hydrocarbons from petroleum crude oil, oil sands and shale;
— hydrocarbons from synthetic or renewable sources, similar in composition to petroleum
distillate fuels;
— blends of the above with a fatty acid methyl ester(s) (FAME) component where permitted.
NOTE 1 Appropriate guidance about fuel treatment systems for diesel engines is published by the International
Council on Combustion Engines (CIMAC)[5].
NOTE 2 Requirements for gas turbine fuels used in marine applications are specified in ISO 4261[6].
NOTE 3 For the purposes of this document, the terms “mass %” and “volume %” are used to represent the
mass and volume fractions respectively.

This document specifies the methodology for the design of an Interlaboratory Study (ILS) and
calculation of precision estimates of a test method specified by the study. In particular, it defines the
relevant statistical terms (Clause 3), the procedures to be adopted in the planning of ILS to determine
the precision of a test method (Clause 4), and the method of calculating the precision from the results of
such a study (Clauses 5 and 6).
The procedures in this document have been designed specifically for petroleum and petroleum related
products, which are normally considered as homogeneous. However, the procedures described in this
document can also be applied to other types of homogeneous products. Careful investigations are
necessary before applying this document to products for which the assumption of homogeneity can be
questioned.

This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered unleaded
petrol. It is applicable to unleaded petrol for use in petrol engine vehicles designed to run on unleaded
petrol.
This European Standard specifies two types of unleaded petrol: one type with a maximum oxygen
content of 3,7 % (m/m) and a maximum ethanol content of 10,0 % (V/V) in Table 1, and one type
intended for older vehicles that are not warranted to use unleaded petrol with a high biofuel content,
with a maximum oxygen content of 2,7 % (m/m) and a maximum ethanol content of 5,0 % (V/V) in
Table 2.
NOTE 1 The two types are based on European Directive requirements [3], [4], ![11]".
NOTE 2 For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent
respectively the mass fraction, μ, and the volume fraction, φ.

This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered
automotive diesel fuel. It is applicable to automotive diesel fuel for use in diesel engine vehicles
designed to run on automotive diesel fuel containing up to 7,0 %(V/V) Fatty Acid Methyl Ester.
NOTE For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent
respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.

EN 14078 specifies a test method for the determination of Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) content in diesel fuel or domestic heating fuel by mid infrared spectrometry, which applies to FAME contents of the two measurement ranges as follows: - range A: for FAME contents ranging from approx. 0,05 % (V/V) to approx. 3 % (V/V); - range B: for FAME contents ranging from approx. 3 % (V/V) to approx. 20 % (V/V); - range C: for FAME contents ranging from approx. 20 % (V/V) to approx. 50 % (V/V). Principally, higher FAME contents can also be analyzed if diluted; however, no precision data for results outside the specified range is available at present. This test method was verified to be applicable to samples which contain FAME conforming to EN 14214 or EN 14213. Reliable quantitative results are obtained only if the samples do not contain any significant amounts of other interfering components, especially esters and other carbonyl compounds which possess absorption bands in the spectral region used for quantification of FAME. If such interfering components are present, this test method is expected to produce higher values.
