European foreword
This document (prEN 16709:2022) 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 document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 16709:2015+A1:2018.
Significant technical changes between this document and the previous edition 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 (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.
— Reduction of the minimum density limit for Grades D, E and F, moving the property from Table 1 and
Table 2 to Table 3.
— 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 7.7.10 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.

Introduction
This document describes 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 amendment 2003/17/EC [2], 2009/30/EC [3], 2011/63/EU [4] and
2014/77/EU [12] 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].

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 high FAME
(B20 and B30) fuel. High FAME (B20 and B30) 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 to
EN 14214 and automotive diesel fuel complying to 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 This product is 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).
