General Information
Relations
Overview
EN 14111:2022 is a CEN standard that specifies a titrimetric method for determination of the iodine value in Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME). It updates and supersedes EN 14111:2003 and is aligned with EN ISO 3961 adapted for FAME. The method uses Wijs reagent and back-titration with sodium thiosulfate to quantify unsaturation expressed as grams of iodine per 100 g of FAME. The precision statement was established in a round-robin for iodine values between 111–129 g I/100 g; the method can be applied to lower values but precision is not validated below 111 g I/100 g.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Titrimetric determination of iodine value in FAME (report as g iodine/100 g).
- Principle: Addition of Wijs reagent to a dissolved test portion; liberated iodine is reduced and titrated with standardized sodium thiosulfate after addition of potassium iodide and water.
- Reagents & apparatus: Wijs reagent, KI solution, starch indicator, standardized Na2S2O3 solution, solvent (cyclohexane/glacial acetic acid), 500 ml Erlenmeyer flasks, pipettes, burette, analytical balance.
- Test portion: Typical mass 0.13–0.15 g (adjusted for low iodine values).
- Calculation: Iodine value computed from titration volumes, sodium thiosulfate concentration and sample mass (formula provided in the standard).
- Precision: Repeatability limit r ≈ 3 g I/100 g and reproducibility limit R ≈ 5 g I/100 g (general values; see Clause 12 and Annex A for trial data).
- Safety: Use involves hazardous reagents and operations; users must implement laboratory safety and chemical handling procedures.
- Documentation: Test report must reference EN 14111:2022 and include sample ID, sampling method, result (rounded to nearest 1 g I/100 g), deviations and test date.
Applications and users
EN 14111:2022 is intended for:
- Quality control laboratories in biodiesel and FAME production (monitoring unsaturation level).
- Manufacturers of fats, oils and derivatives requiring standardized compositional analysis.
- Regulatory and conformity assessment bodies verifying product specifications.
- Research labs comparing FAME samples or validating production processes.
Practical uses include batch QC, specification compliance, and comparative analysis of feedstock-derived FAME (rapeseed, sunflower, etc.). The iodine value is commonly used as an indicator of unsaturation, which influences oxidative stability and product properties.

Die Norm EN 14111:2022 befasst sich mit der Bestimmung des Iodwerts in Fettsäure-Methylestern (FAME) und bietet eine titrimetrische Methode zur Analyse dieses wichtigen Parameters. Der Iodwert ist ein entscheidender Indikator für den Grad der ungesättigten Fettsäuren in FAME und hat somit große Bedeutung in der Chemie und Lebensmittelindustrie. Der Umfang dieses Dokuments ist klar definiert; es spezifiziert nicht nur die Methodik zur Bestimmung des Iodwerts, sondern gibt auch präzise Angaben zur Präzision der Methode. Die Ergebnisse dieser Analyse wurden durch eine Round Robin-Übung validiert, bei der Iodwerte im Bereich von 111 g Iod/100 g bis 129 g Iod/100 g getestet wurden. Dies hebt die Stärken der Norm hervor, da die geringen Variationen innerhalb dieser Werte eine hohe Zuverlässigkeit der Methodik bestätigen. Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass die Methode auch für niedrigere Iodwerte anwendbar ist, jedoch die Präzision in diesen Bereichen nicht explizit anerkannt ist, was eine sinnvolle Einschränkung darstellt. Ein weiterer bedeutender Aspekt dieser Norm ist die klare Warnung hinsichtlich der Verwendung gefährlicher Materialien, Methoden und Geräte. Nutzer der Norm werden aufgefordert, geeignete Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zu ergreifen, was auf das Verantwortungsbewusstsein und die Gewissenhaftigkeit der Norm hinweist. Dies unterstreicht nicht nur die Relevanz der Norm für die Branche, sondern zeigt auch, dass die Sicherheit von Bedienern und Prozessen beim Arbeiten mit chemischen Substanzen höchste Priorität hat. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die EN 14111:2022 eine relevante und präzise Norm für die Bestimmung des Iodwerts in FAME darstellt, die wichtige Richtlinien für die Anwendung in der Industrie enthält, während sie gleichzeitig auf die potenziellen Gefahren hinweist, die mit der Handhabung der chemischen Materialien verbunden sind.
The standard EN 14111:2022 presents a comprehensive methodology for the determination of the iodine value in Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME). Its specific focus on a titrimetric method ensures a precise evaluation of iodine levels, which is critical for assessing the quality and application of fatty acid derivatives in various industries, including biofuels and food production. A notable strength of this standard lies in its rigorously defined precision statement, which was established through a Round Robin exercise. This statistical backing underscores the reliability of the results within the specified iodine value range of 111 g iodine/100 g to 129 g iodine/100 g. Such a clearly delineated scope not only enhances the method's credibility but also facilitates consistency in testing across laboratories. While the standard allows for applications involving lower iodine values, it transparently communicates that the precision for values below 111 g iodine/100 g has not been established. This critical information enables users to make informed decisions regarding the applicability of this method to their specific needs, thus maintaining the integrity of analytical results. Moreover, EN 14111:2022 includes a cautionary note regarding the hazards related to the materials, operations, and equipment associated with the iodine value determination method. By emphasizing the responsibility of users to implement safety measures, the standard aligns with best practices in laboratory safety and risk management. In summary, EN 14111:2022 provides a well-structured and scientifically validated approach for determining iodine values in FAME. Its strengths lie in its precision statement, clear limitations, and attention to safety, making it a relevant and essential standard for professionals engaged in the analysis and application of fat and oil derivatives.

La norme SIST EN 14111:2022 se concentre sur les dérivés des graisses et des huiles, spécifiquement sur la détermination de la valeur d'iode des esters méthyliques d'acides gras (FAME). Le champ d'application de ce document précise une méthode titrimétrique pour évaluer la valeur d'iode dans les produits FAME, offrant ainsi une approche standardisée et fiable pour les professionnels du secteur. L'un des points forts de cette norme réside dans sa précision, établie lors d'un exercice de Round Robin. Les valeurs d'iode mesurées dans le cadre de cette étude variaient de 111 g d'iode/100 g à 129 g d'iode/100 g, ce qui donne aux utilisateurs une confiance accrue dans la validité des résultats obtenus. De plus, bien que la méthode soit applicable pour des valeurs d'iode inférieures, il est crucial de noter que la déclaration de précision pour ces valeurs plus basses n'est pas établie, ce qui souligne l'importance de respecter les limites définies pour garantir des résultats fiables. La pertinence de cette norme est accentuée par son application dans des domaines critiques où la composition et la qualité des FAME sont essentielles. En fournissant une méthode normalisée pour la détermination de la valeur d'iode, cette norme contribue à l'harmonisation des tests au sein de l'industrie, facilitant ainsi la communication et l'échange d'informations entre les différents acteurs.
