(Amendment)Automotive fuels - Paraffinic diesel fuel from synthesis or hydrotreatment - Requirements and test methods
Automotive fuels - Paraffinic diesel fuel from synthesis or hydrotreatment - Requirements and test methods
This European Standard describes requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered paraffinic diesel fuel containing a level of up to 7,0 % (V/V) fatty acid methyl ester (FAME). It is applicable to fuel for use in diesel engines and vehicles compatible with paraffinic diesel fuel. It defines two classes of paraffinic diesel fuel: high cetane and normal cetane.
Paraffinic diesel fuel originates from synthesis or hydrotreatment processes.
NOTE 1 For general diesel engine warranty, paraffinic automotive diesel fuel may need a validation step, which for some existing engines may still need to be done (see also the Introduction to this document). The vehicle manufacturer needs to be consulted before use.
NOTE 2 For the purposes of this document, the terms "% (m/m)" and "% (V/V)" are used to represent respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.
Kraftstoffe für Kraftfahrzeuge - Paraffinischer Dieselkraftstoff aus Synthese oder Hydrierungsverfahren - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen an und Prüfverfahren für paraffinischen Dieselkraftstoff fest, der mit einem Gehalt von bis zu 7,0 % (V/V) an Fettsäuremethylester (en: fatty acid methyl ester, FAME) gehandelt und ausgeliefert wird. Sie gilt für Kraftstoff für die Verwendung in Dieselmotoren und Kraftfahrzeugen, die für paraffinischen Dieselkraftstoff geeignet sind. Sie definiert zwei Klassen von paraffinischem Dieselkraftstoff: eine Klasse mit hoher Cetanzahl und eine mit normaler Cetanzahl.
Paraffinischer Dieselkraftstoff stammt aus Synthese- oder Hydrierungsverfahren.
ANMERKUNG 1 Für eine allgemeine Dieselmotorengarantie kann für paraffinischen Dieselkraftstoff für Kraftfahrzeuge eine Validierung erforderlich sein, die bei einigen existierenden Motoren möglicherweise noch durchzuführen ist (siehe auch Einleitung zu diesem Dokument). Vor dem Einsatz ist der Kraftfahrzeughersteller zu konsultieren.
ANMERKUNG 2 Für den Zweck dieses Dokuments werden zur Angabe des Massenanteils der Ausdruck „% (m/m)“ und für den Volumenanteil der Ausdruck „% (V/V)“ verwendet.

European foreword
This document (EN 15490:2016/prA1:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 19
“Gaseous and liquid fuels, lubricants and related products of petroleum, synthetic and biological origin”, the
secretariat of which is held by NEN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
The following is a list of significant technical changes that have been made in this amendment to
EN 15940:2016, most of them following technical comments made during the Formal Vote ballot:
— Introduction of an A-deviation as required by NBN, Belgium;
— Rephrasing the Introduction as some of it was superfluous or led to questions in the market;
— Inclusion of reference to the work of CEN/TC 441 regarding pump marking in line with the
requirements set by the new Directive 2014/94/EU [24].
— Aligning the wording around MMT and FAME with other diesel fuel specification standards;
— Introduction of the correct manganese determination method;
— Inclusion of a reporting requirement for initial boiling point in Table 1 and of further explanation
regarding the test method used for IBP;
— Introduction of the revised determination method for total aromatics which now contains the
procedure formerly described in an Annex to this Standard;
— Deletion of the information in the main text on the high aromatics content determination that was not
deleted by mistake;
— Updates towards other revised test method standards in general.
EN 15940:2016/prA1:2017 (E)
1 Modifications to the European foreword
Replace the text in list item c) with the following:
"EN 16906 (equivalent to DIN 51733 [23]) has been studied and allowed as an additional methodology to
determine cetane number".
In the first paragraph after the list, in the last sentence, replace "but" with "and".
In the penultimate paragraph, replace the first sentence with the following:
"This document is based on current knowledge at the time of publishing, but will require review based on
further experiences with the use of paraffinic diesel fuel or when the specification for either regular
automotive diesel fuel, EN 590, or FAME, EN 14214, has been determined (revised) by CEN/TC 19 or based
on further experiences with the use of paraffinic diesel fuel according to this document.".
2 Modifications to the Introduction
Replace the text in the Introduction with the following:
"This document has been laid down to define a quality specification for diesel fuel on the basis of synthesis
gas or of hydrotreated bio-oils or -fats. Its main use is as diesel fuel in dedicated diesel vehicle fleets and
engines. Paraffinic diesel fuel does not meet the automotive diesel fuel standard, EN 590 [25]. Its density
can be outside the limits for automotive diesel fuel, and the described class A type fuel has a higher cetane
number. Paraffinic diesel fuel is not validated for all vehicles, consult vehicle manufacturer before use.
As some production processes result in a fuel containing cyclo-paraffins, as well as n-paraffins and iso-
paraffins, they show different cetane number compared to other paraffinic diesel fuels. Hence, in this
document, two classes have been defined, one class showing improved ignition quality compared to
automotive diesel fuel meeting EN 590.
Blending of paraffinic diesel fuel with fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) is covered in this document. Against
the background of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED, 2009/28/EC [3]) and also the latest
developments regarding the European automotive diesel fuel standard, there is now a pressing
requirement to allow for FAME blend variations of those paraffinic fuels, which are not already classified as
being from renewable resources.
Paraffinic diesel fuel is also used as a blending component in automotive diesel fuel. In that case it does not
have to meet EN 15940 requirements since composition and properties of diesel fuel blends are defined in
the respective automotive diesel fuel standards, e.g. EN 590 and EN 16734 (see EN 590:2013+A1:2017, 5.4
and EN 16734:2016, 5.4).
The document will be usable on a voluntary basis for engine clearance, fuel acceptance and fuelling station
allowance, supporting both local regulations and international trade".

3 Modifications to the Scope
In the first paragraph, replace the first sentence with the following:
"This European Standard describes requirements and test methods for paraffinic diesel fuel marketed and
delivered as such, and containing a level of up to 7,0 % (V/V) fatty acid methyl ester (FAME).".
Replace NOTE 1 with the following:
"NOTE 1 For general diesel engine warranty, paraffinic automotive diesel fuel may need a validation
step to confirm the compatibility of the fuel with the vehicle, which for some existing engines may still need
