Fuels - Identification of vehicle compatibility - Graphical expression for consumer information

Current scope:
This European Standard lays down harmonized identifiers for marketed liquid and gaseous fuels. The
requirements in this standard are to complement the informational needs of users regarding the
compatibility between the fuels and the vehicles that are placed on the market. The identifier is
intended to be visualized at dispensers and refuelling points, on vehicles, in motor vehicle dealerships
and in consumer manuals as described in this document.
Marketed fuels include for example petroleum-derived fuels, synthetic fuels, biofuels, natural gas,
LPG, hydrogen and biogas and blends of the aforementioned delivered to mobile applications.
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.
Scope of the revision:
Inclusion of the new standard for small engine petrol (FprEN 17867).
