BS EN 16734 is a safety standard on automotive B10 diesel fuel.
BS EN 16734 specifies requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered automotive B10 diesel fuel, i.e., diesel fuel containing up to 10,0 %(V/V) Fatty Acid Methyl Ester. BS EN 16734 is applicable to fuel for use in diesel engine vehicles compatible with automotive B10 diesel fuel.
NOTE: For the purposes of BS EN 16734, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.
BS EN 16734 on automotive B10 diesel fuel is relevant to:
Automotive fuel is a liquid fuel, gasoline, or distillate, whose combustion is used to supply chemical energy to provide the power of an automotive vehicle.
BS EN 16734 describes diesel fuel containing up to 10,0 % (V/V) Fatty Acid Methyl Ester. BS EN 16734 contains the precision data generated on the test methods, which are the result of inter-laboratory testing. Many of the test methods included in BS EN 16734 are the subject of inter-laboratory testing to determine the applicability of the method and its precision in relation to blends of automotive diesel fuel containing 10,0 % (V/V) or higher of various sources of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME).
Overall, BS EN 16734 is useful as it assists with diesel fuel containing up to 10,0 % (V/V) Fatty Acid Methyl Ester.
