Overview
The FprEN 14214:2024 standard, developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), defines the requirements and test methods for Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) used as liquid petroleum products. Specifically, it covers FAME intended for use as:
- Fuel for diesel engines at 100% concentration
- Heating applications at 100% concentration
- Blend components in diesel and heating fuels
This updated draft supersedes the previous version EN 14214:2012+A2:2019 and reflects advancements in fuel technology, environmental regulations, and testing protocols. It ensures that FAME fuel meets strict quality and safety criteria for efficient engine performance and compliance with environmental standards.
Key Topics
Specifications and Requirements
- Defines chemical and physical properties such as ester content, acid value, glycerol content, phosphorus, metals (Na, K, Ca, Mg), methanol content, iodine value, oxidation stability, and calorific values
- Includes climate-dependent requirements for cold weather operation addressing cold filter plugging point (CFPP) and cloud point (CP) to ensure operability in various environments
- Sets limits on contaminants and additives such as dyes, markers, and oxidation stabilizers to maintain fuel integrity
Test Methods
- Standardized procedures for sampling and analysis aligned with international norms (EN, ISO)
- Test methods include gas chromatography for composition, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) for metal content, Karl Fischer titration for water content, and various combustion chamber tests for ignition quality
- Arbitration processes and precision statements are defined to resolve disputes on test results
Recent Updates
- Reduced permissible limits for metals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium to enhance fuel purity
- Introduction of phosphorus content as a reporting criterion to monitor environmental impact on exhaust aftertreatment systems
- Inclusion of saturated monoglycerides content as a reporting parameter to improve understanding of cold flow behavior in diesel blends
- Deletion of less meaningful parameters like copper corrosion and sulphated ash content for streamlined quality control
Applications
FAME compliant with FprEN 14214:2024 serves critical roles in sustainable energy and transportation sectors:
- Biofuel for diesel engines: Enables diesel engines to run on 100% FAME or blended fuels, reducing fossil diesel dependency and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
- Heating fuels: Supports the use of renewable biofuels in residential and commercial heating systems, enhancing environmental sustainability.
- Blending component: Allows manufacturers to produce customized fuel blends that meet performance and emissions standards while providing flexibility in fuel sourcing.
This standard is vital for producers, distributors, engine manufacturers, and regulatory authorities to ensure fuel consistency, engine compatibility, and user safety.

Introduction
This document gives all relevant characteristics, requirements and test methods for fatty acid methyl
esters (FAME), which are known at this time to be necessary to define the product for use in diesel
engines and in heating applications.
Many of the test methods included in this document have been the subject of several interlaboratory
testing to determine their applicability and their precision in relation to different sources of FAME.
Concerning cold temperature operability of diesel blends related to the quality of the FAME used as a
blending component, strong indications towards the relationship with saturated mono-glycerides (SMG)
and steryl-glycosides (SG) have become known. As no test method to detect those components separately
had been developed, an interim solution in setting cold filter plugging point (CFPP) and cloud point
limitations was included in this standard (see Table 3). A study within CEN has indicated that FAME
conform to the current precision statements of EN 116 and EN 23015.
With EN 17057, a suitable test method for the direct determination of the content of saturated
monoglycerides in FAME is now available. To gain experience in all member states with SMG, the
parameter is included as a reporting parameter in Table 1. The information gained will be used for
consideration for future limit setting.
Since EN 16934 [1] was published in 2019, data gathered for Europe have shown very low levels of SG
below the detection limit and there have been no reported problems in the field that have been attributed
to SG content. It is therefore not currently possible to determine an appropriate limit for SG. The situation
and data will continue to be monitored.
In order to improve the lifetime of the exhaust aftertreatment system, lowering of the phosphorus limit
is under investigation. EN 14538 for the determination of phosphorus has improved precision compared
to EN 14107 and EN 16294 and is implemented as a reporting criterion to be able to collect data on
phosphorus content in the future.
