CEN/TS 15293:2011 (E) 3 Foreword This document (CEN/TS 15293:2011) 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. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes CEN/CWA 15293:2005. Significant technical changes between this European Standard and the CEN Workshop agreement are:  the fuel requirements do allow the car manufacturers to optimize the ignition setting over the whole range of 0 % (V/V) to 85 % (V/V) of ethanol, whereas former limits of for instance vapour pressure and MON/RON were calculated on the basis of the percentage. This should give the user the benefit of the improved octane of the alcohol, even though some limits are set as indicative pending further field data;  the requirements towards contaminants originating mainly from ethanol are aligned with the meanwhile published EN 15376. As alignment of units for elemental contaminants is pursued, a mean density value of 0,78 g/cm3 has been used;  the specification has been set to allow for the use of denatured and undenatured ethanol as a blending component, depending on national legislation;  newly developed ethanol test methods are used, which show a better applicability to Ethanol (E85) automotive fuel. Most of the test methods have been assessed for their effective applicability;  the climate requirements do allow different percentages of ethanol to be blended, based on field experience, of which some limits are still under study. Furthermore, some of the determination methods referenced are still being investigated in terms of correct application and precision. This, and the fact that production processes need to be assessed on possibility to achieve the required or future limits, underlines the choice for a CEN Technical Specification as an intermediate step. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to announce this Technical Specification: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

5.1 Dyes and markers The use of dyes and markers is allowed provided they do not cause harmful side effects to vehicles and fuel distribution systems. 5.2 Additives In order to improve the performance 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. CAUTION — Ethanol (E85) automotive fuel shall be free from any adulterant or contaminant that may render the fuel unacceptable for use in petrol engine vehicles designed to run on unleaded petrol and ethanol (E85) automotive fuel. NOTE Test methods for deposit forming tendency that are suitable for routine control purposes have not yet been identified and developed. 5.3 Phosphorus In order to protect automotive catalyst systems, phosphorus containing additives shall not be used in Ethanol (E85) automotive fuel. 5.4 Denaturants The presence of petrol that conforms to EN 228 is generally considered sufficient to render Ethanol (E85) automotive fuel a denatured product. If the presence of petrol is not recognized as a denaturant of ethanol by the relevant national authority, to avoid material compatibility issues with automotive engines and fuel systems, it is recommended to select denaturants from the list below that are known to be non harmful to vehicle systems:  Ethyltertbutylether (ETBE);  Methyltertbutylether (MTBE);  Tertiary Butyl Alcohol (TBA);  2-methyl-1-propanol (isobutanol); an
