Overview
EN 16807:2016 - Liquid petroleum products: Bio-lubricants is a European Standard published by CEN that defines the term bio-lubricant / bio-based lubricant and sets minimum, horizontally‑applicable requirements for all kinds of bio-lubricants. The standard clarifies expectations for biodegradability, bio-based content and aquatic toxicity, and outlines relevant test method needs and related standards. It is intended to reduce market confusion around the “bio-” prefix and to support consistent, measurable claims about environmental performance.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Terminology and scope
- Establishes a clear definition of bio-lubricant / bio-based lubricant applicable across lubricant families.
- Minimum criteria
- Specifies requirements relating to bio-based content, biodegradability, ecotoxicity (aquatic toxicity) and fit-for-purpose performance for final formulated products.
- Test methods & characterization
- Recommends testing approaches for:
- Biodegradation (e.g., OECD/ISO style CO2 or O2 respirometry tests)
- Ecotoxicity (algae, daphnia, fish acute tests such as EN ISO 8692, 6341, 7346-1)
- Bio‑based carbon content (radiocarbon 14C method per CEN/TS 16640)
- Includes Annex A (informative) on 14C content methods and Annex B (normative) on lubricant application groups.
- Recommends testing approaches for:
- Sampling and mixture testing
- Emphasises testing of final formulations (mixtures), reflecting the end-user perspective, while noting this complements chemical-level assessments in regulatory frameworks.
- Limitations
- Warns that EN 16807:2016 cannot address all potential environmental risks and is positioned as minimum horizontal requirements (Ecolabels or product-specific standards may set stricter criteria).
Practical applications and users
Who uses EN 16807:2016:
- Lubricant manufacturers developing and marketing bio-lubricants or hybrid bio-based products.
- Test laboratories implementing recommended biodegradability, ecotoxicity and 14C methods.
- Procurement teams / public purchasers specifying environmentally preferable lubricants.
- OEMs and end users (hydraulics, turbines, gearboxes, greases, metalworking, engine oils, machine-tool lubricants) requiring validated environmental claims.
- Regulators and ecolabel schemes aligning product definitions and consumer information.
Benefits:
- Provides consistent language for eco-friendly lubricant claims, aids compliance, and improves market transparency for sustainable and bio-based lubricants.

The SIST EN 16807:2016 standard is a significant document that outlines the criteria and requirements for bio-lubricants and bio-based lubricants, emphasizing their importance within the scope of liquid petroleum products. The standard provides a clear definition of what constitutes a bio-lubricant and sets minimum specifications across various categories, ensuring that manufacturers and users can reliably identify and utilize products that meet these green criteria. One of the key strengths of this standard is its comprehensive approach to characterization, highlighting necessary test methods that enhance the quality assessment of bio-lubricants. By recommending specific standards related to environmental aspects such as biodegradability and functionality, it supports the production of lubricants that not only satisfy performance needs but also align with sustainability goals. This focus on using renewable raw materials and bio-based content signifies a progressive step towards reducing reliance on fossil fuels and advancing eco-friendly practices in lubrication technology. Moreover, the relevance of SIST EN 16807:2016 extends to the broader context of environmental protection. By establishing clear requirements for bio-lubricant products, the standard helps mitigate potential risks associated with traditional petroleum-based lubricants, contributing to reduced ecological footprints. However, the cautionary note regarding the limitation of addressing all potential environmental risks underscores the need for continuous improvement and additional regulations in the bio-lubricant sector. Overall, SIST EN 16807:2016 serves as a valuable guideline for manufacturers, consumers, and regulatory bodies, fostering a shift towards more sustainable products while ensuring that bio-lubricants meet acceptable performance standards. Its scope, strengths in characterization methods, and emphasis on environmental considerations reinforce its relevance in today's drive for greener technologies in lubricant production.

Die Norm SIST EN 16807:2016 bietet eine umfassende Definition und die Mindestanforderungen für biobasierte Schmierstoffe sowie Bio-Schmierstoffe. Diese europäische Norm ist von großer Bedeutung, da sie eine einheitliche Grundlage für die Klassifizierung und Bewertung von Bio-Schmierstoffen schafft, die in verschiedenen Industrien eingesetzt werden. Ein wesentlicher Aspekt dieser Norm ist ihre umfassende Definition des Begriffs "Bio-Schmierstoff", die eine wichtige Grundlage für die weitere Diskussion und Entwicklung von nachhaltigen Schmierstoffen bietet. Darüber hinaus hebt die Norm die verschiedenen Anforderungen hervor, die Bio-Schmierstoffe erfüllen müssen, um als solche anerkannt zu werden. Die Stärke der SIST EN 16807:2016 liegt in ihrer Flexibilität bei der Beschreibung relevanter Prüfmethoden, die zur Charakterisierung von Bio-Schmierstoffen notwendig sind. Dies sowohl für die Biodegradierbarkeit als auch für die Funktionalität der Produkte sowie den Anteil an erneuerbaren Rohstoffen und biobasierten Inhalten, die während der Herstellung verwendet werden. Solche Empfehlungen sind entscheidend für die Entwicklung neuer Produkte, die sowohl umweltfreundlich als auch leistungsfähig sind. Die Relevanz der Norm SIST EN 16807:2016 wird nicht nur durch ihre wissenschaftliche und technischen Inhalte gestärkt, sondern auch durch ihre Berücksichtigung potenzieller Risiken für die Umwelt. Es wird darauf hingewiesen, dass nicht alle Umweltrisiken in der Norm behandelt werden können, was die Notwendigkeit weiterer Forschung und Entwicklungen unterstreicht. Insgesamt trägt die Norm wesentlich dazu bei, einheitliche Standards im Bereich der Bio-Schmierstoffe zu etablieren und den Übergang zu nachhaltigen Lösungen in der Schmiertechnologie zu fördern.
La norme SIST EN 16807:2016 se concentre sur les produits pétroliers liquides, en définissant clairement le concept de bio-lubrifiant ainsi que les exigences minimales pour tous les types de bio-lubrifiants et de lubrifiants bio-sourcés. Cette norme européenne est d'une grande importance dans le contexte actuel où la durabilité et l'impact environnemental des produits chimiques sont de plus en plus pris en compte dans les processus de fabrication. L'un des points forts de cette norme est sa capacité à établir des critères précis et mesurables pour les bio-lubrifiants, facilitant ainsi la comparaison et l'évaluation des produits sur le marché. En stipulant les exigences relatives à la biodégradabilité, à la fonctionnalité des produits et à la proportion de matières premières renouvelables, la norme garantit que les bio-lubrifiants répondent aux attentes en matière de respect de l'environnement tout en maintenant des performances adéquates. La norme SIST EN 16807:2016 inclut également des recommandations sur les méthodes d'essai nécessaires pour caractériser les bio-lubrifiants, ce qui est essentiel pour garantir la conformité et la qualité des produits. Cela permet aux fabricants de s'aligner sur les meilleures pratiques et d'améliorer la transparence dans le développement de lubrifiants bio-sourcés. Cependant, il est important de noter que la norme avertit qu'elle ne peut pas couvrir tous les risques environnementaux potentiels. Cela souligne la nécessité d'une vigilance continue et d'une évaluation exhaustive en ce qui concerne l'impact environnemental des bio-lubrifiants. En résumé, la norme SIST EN 16807:2016 joue un rôle clé en standardisant les critères et les exigences des bio-lubrifiants, contribuant ainsi à une industrie plus durable et responsable.
