European foreword
This document (EN 16709:2024) 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 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 April 2025, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by April 2025.
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 16709:2015+A1:2018.
Significant technical changes between this document and EN 16709:2015+A1:2018 are:
— 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 were
required;
— inclusion of the amended EN 14214 FAME specification;
— 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 ICN technique (EN 17155) has
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;
— addition of the Stabinger viscometer (EN 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;
— updating of the clause on pump marking to harmonize it with other CEN/TC 19 specification
standards;
— update to the “workmanship clause” in 7.5.2 to address the issue of abrasive wear of fuel injection
equipment by hard particles in diesel fuel;
— clarification of the dispute requirement concerning sulfur content in 7.7.3;
— deletion of the allowance for cetane number alternative methods in 7.7.4;
— addition of 7.7.9 to address situations in which the test method includes a bias-correction to the
dispute method;
— deletion of the A-deviation for Belgium and inclusion of an A-deviation for Germany, following
changes of respective national legislations.
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, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North

Introduction
This document specifies two fuel grades in the range of [14, 20] %(V/V) and [24, 30] %(V/V) of fatty acid
methyl ester (FAME) in diesel fuel to be used in captive fleet application for designated vehicles , as it is
not suitable for all vehicles.
Requirements following amendments 2003/17/EC [2], 2009/30/EC [3], 2011/63/EU [4], 2014/77/EU
[12], directive (EU) 2015/1513 [17], regulation (EU) 2018/1999 [18] and directive (EU) 2023/2413 [19]
to the European Fuels Quality Directive 98/70/EC [1], are taken into account. Dates are included for
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 [11].
Information on the development of this fuel specification can be found in CEN/TR 16557 [5].
In the sense that they are compatible with the product.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered high FAME (B20 and
B30) diesel fuel for use in diesel engine vehicles designed or subsequently adapted to run on such fuel.
High FAME diesel fuel is a mixture of up to 20 % (V/V) in total and up to 30 % (V/V) in total respectively
fatty acid methyl esters (commonly known as FAME) complying with EN 14214 and automotive diesel
fuel complying with EN 590.
For maintenance and control reasons high FAME (B20 and B30) diesel fuel is to be used in captive fleets
that are intended to have an appropriate fuel management (see Clause 4).
NOTE 1 These products are allowed in Europe [4], but national legislation can set additional requirements or
rules concerning, or even prohibiting, marketing or delivering of the product.
NOTE 2 For the purposes of this document, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent
respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.
NOTE 3 In this document, A-deviations apply (see Annex A).
