European foreword
This document (EN 16734:2022) 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 European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2022, and conflicting national standards
shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2022.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 16734:2016+A1:2018.
This document has originally been prepared under a mandate [1] given to CEN by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association. It has been developed in coordination with
representatives of those institutions.
This document describes a specification for diesel fuel containing up to 10,0 % (V/V) Fatty Acid Methyl
Ester. This product is not suitable for all vehicles, so consumers and providers should consult vehicle
manufacturers or manuals before use.
Requirements following amendment 2003/17/EC [3], 2009/30/EC [4], 2011/63/EU [5] and
2014/77/EU [6] to the European Fuels Quality Directive 98/70/EC [2], are taken into account. Dates
are included with all normative test method references in order to comply with the requirements of the
European Commission; with the accompanying assurance by CEN/TC 19 that any referenced updated
versions will always give at least the same accuracy and at least the same level of precision (see [4]).
The marking at the pump of this product is in line with the requirements of the Fuels Quality Directive
and the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive [7].
Significant technical changes between this document and the previous edition are:
— Inclusion of the amended EN 14214 FAME specification.
— Update to the normative references towards undated versions where they don't 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.
— Introduction of the new section “Terms and Definitions”.
— Deletion of the Fuel Ignition Tester (EN 16144) as an alternative test method for cetane number
determination due to its absence of use in the market. Whereas the BASF engine (EN 16906) and
the ICN technique (EN 17155) have now been included as alternative methods for cetane number
determination.
— Addition of micro-distillation (EN 17306) as an alternative test method to distillation by
EN ISO 3405 and EN ISO 3924.
— Addition of automated method (EN ISO 22995) as an alternative test method to cloud point by
EN ISO 3015.

SIST EN 16734:2022
EN 16734:2022 (E)
— Addition of the Stabinger viscometer (ISO 23581) as an alternative test method to viscosity by
EN ISO 3104.
— Addition of oxidation stability by rapid small scale oxidation method (EN 16091) as an alternative
test method to oxidation stability by EN 15751 for diesel fuel containing FAME above 2,0 % (V/V).
— Deletion of Annex A on precision data and introduction of a NOTE under 6.5.1 in relation to test
method precision data for diesel fuel containing FAME.
— Update to the 'workmanship clause' in 6.5.3 to address the issue of abrasive wear of fuel injection
equipment by hard particles in diesel fuel.
— Introduction of further clarification around the lubricity requirement in Table 1.
— Reduction of the minimum density limit for Grades D, E and F, moving the property from Table 1 to
Table 2.
— Clarification of the dispute requirement concerning sulfur content in 6.7.3.
— Deletion of the allowance for cetane number alternative methods in 6.7.4.
— Addition of 6.7.11 to address situations in which the test method includes a bias-correction to the
dispute method.
— Deletion of the A-deviation for Belgium following change of national legislation.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria,
Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland,

3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions are listed in this document.
4 Sampling
Samples shall be taken as described in EN ISO 3170 or EN ISO 3171 and/or in accordance with the
requirements of national standards or regulations for the sampling of automotive diesel fuel. The
national requirements shall be set out in detail or shall be referred to by reference in a National Annex
to this document.
In view of the sensitivity of some of the test methods referred to in this document, particular attention
shall be paid to compliance with any guidance on sampling containers which is included in the test
method standard.
5 Pump marking
Information to be marked on dispensing pumps and nozzles used for delivering automotive B10 diesel
fuel, and the dimensions of the mark shall be in accordance with EN 16942.
Labelling shall be clearly visible, easily legible and displayed at any point where diesel with metallic
additives is made available to consumers. The label shall contain: “Contains metallic additives” in the
national language(s) and shall be laid down in the National Annex to this document.
Further indication on dispensing pumps in the national language of “Not suitable for all vehicles;
consult vehicle manufacturer or manual before use” is also strongly recommended.

6.2 Additives
6.2.1 General
In order to improve the quality, the use of additives is allowed. Suitable fuel additives without known
harmful side-effects are recommended in the appropriate amount, to help to avoid deterioration of
driveability and emissions control durability. Other technical means with equivalent effect may also be
used.
NOTE Deposit forming tendency test methods suitable for routine control purposes have not yet been
identified and developed.
