European foreword
This document (prEN 14214:2024) 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.
This document will supersede EN 14214:2012+A2:2019.
This document includes the following significant technical changes with respect to
EN 14214:2012+A2:2019:
— update to the normative references towards undated versions where they do not concern
requirements originating from European Directives (in line with decisions by CEN/TC 19 in
coordination with the European Commission), and updating the effective publication dates where
required;
— scope extension towards different diesel fuel specifications and heating applications as FAME is
being used for more than one blending purpose;
— moving the information on the use of BHT as one example of an oxidation stabilizer in a note;
— inclusion of information on net calorific values for FAME used in heating applications;
— deletion of the requirement on copper corrosion as it is no longer considered meaningful;
— deletion of the requirement on sulphated ash content as it is no longer considered meaningful;
+
— decrease of the Group I metals (Na K) content limit from 5,0 mg/kg to 4,0 mg/kg;
— decrease of the Group II metals (Ca+Mg) content limit from 5,0 mg/kg to 4,0 mg/kg;
— introduction of phosphorus content as an additional reporting criterion to be determined with
EN 14538 in order to obtain information on actual phosphorus levels and experience with the
updated method;
— introduction of saturated monoglycerides content as a reporting criterion in order to obtain
information on actual saturated monoglycerides levels and experience with the method;
— deletion of the paragraph on distilled FAME, as there is no general definition of a distilled FAME,
keeping the climate-related requirements and test methods for FAME used as blend component
untouched and adding a note that FAME meeting these requirements can be produced by, for
example, distillation;
— supplement of the subclause 6.5 to clearly identify the arbitration method for each method;
— deletion of EN ISO 20884 as a possible arbitration method for the determination of sulphur content;
— conversion of EN 23015 to EN ISO 3015 as test method for the determination of cloud point (CP);
— inclusion of EN ISO 22995 as an alternative test method for the determination of cloud point (CP);
— definition of EN ISO 3015 as the arbitration test method for the determination of cloud point (CP) in
cases of dispute;
— deletion of Annex A (and renumbering of the following annexes) after re-evaluation of Table A.1 and
conclusion that there are no methods with different precision statements for FAME that are not
already addressed in the methods;
— adaptation of Annex B taking into account the introduction of saturated monoglycerides content as a
reporting criterion in Table 1.
This document has been prepared under a standardization request addressed to CEN by the European
Commission. The Standing Committee of the EFTA States subsequently approves these requests for its
Member States.
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.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered fatty acid methyl
esters (hereafter known as FAME) to be used either as fuel for diesel engines and for heating applications
at 100 % concentration, or as a blend component for fuel for diesel engines and heating applications in
accordance with the requirements of appropriate standards. At 100 % concentration it is applicable to
fuel for use in diesel engines and in heating applications designed or subsequently adapted to run on
100 % FAME.
NOTE For the purposes of this document, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent
respectively the mass fraction, µ, and the volume fraction, φ.
