European foreword
This document (EN 15199-3:2020) 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 June 2021, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by June 2021.
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 15199-3:2008.
The main changes in this edition are:
—  the algorithm for merging the results of the light end analysis and the simulated distillation analysis
has been added as an informative annex;
—  additional information on the determination of the IBP and FBP is added to help the user to improve
the test results.
EN 15199 consists of the following parts, under the general title Petroleum products — Determination of
boiling range distribution by gas chromatography method:
— Part 1: Middle distillates and lubricating base oils
— Part 2: Heavy distillates and residual fuels
— Part 3: Crude oil
— Part 4: Light fraction of crude oil
This document describes the determination of boiling range distribution of materials with initial boiling
points (IBP) below 100 °C and final boiling points (FBP) above 750 °C. For testing materials with initial
boiling points (IBP) above 100 °C and final boiling point (FBP) below 750 °C, Part 1 of the standard may
be used. For testing materials with initial boiling points (IBP) above 100 °C and final boiling point (FBP)
above 750 °C, Part 2 of the standard may be used. Part 4 is used for the determination of the boiling range
distribution of hydrocarbons up to n-nonane in crude oil.
This document is harmonized with IP 545 [6] and ASTM D 7169 [4].
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
Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United
Kingdom.
1 Scope
This document describes a method for the determination of the boiling range distribution of petroleum
products by capillary gas chromatography using flame ionization detection. The standard is applicable to
crude oils. The boiling range distribution and recovery to C or C can be determined.
100 120
Two procedures are described: single and dual analysis mode. The basis of each is the calculation
procedure as described in Annex A.
Procedure A (or Single analysis mode) determines the boiling range through C or C in a
100 120
single analysis.
Procedure B (or Dual analysis mode) combines procedure A with the boiling point distribution from C
up to C using the Detailed Hydrocarbon Analysis (DHA) according EN 15199-4. The results of both
analyses are merged into one boiling point distribution.
NOTE 1 There is no specific precision statement for the combined results obtained by procedure B. For the
precision of the boiling range distribution according to procedure B the precision statements of procedure A and
EN 15199-4 apply. No precision has been determined for the results after merging.
NOTE 2 For the purpose of this document, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent the mass
fraction, µ, and the volume fraction, φ, of a material respectively.
WARNING — Use of this document may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This
document does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and to
determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
NOTE Explanation of some of the terms is given in Figure 1.
3.1
initial boiling point
IBP
temperature corresponding to the retention time at which a net area (3.9) count equal to 0,5 % of the
total sample area (3.8) under the chromatogram is obtained (see Figure 1)

2 initial boiling point (IBP), 3.1
3 final boiling point (FBP), 3.2
4 end of elution

3.2
final boiling point
FBP
temperature corresponding to the retention time at which a net area (3.9) count equal to 99,5 % of the
total sample area (3.8) under the chromatogram is obtained (see Figure 1)
Note 1 to entry: If the found recovery is less than 99,5 %, the final boiling point is reported as > 720 °C or > 750 °C
at that recovery.
3.3
area slice
area resulting from the integration of the chromatographic detector signal within a specified retention
time interval
Note 1 to entry: In area slice mode peak detection parameters are bypassed and the detector signal integral is
recorded as area slices of consecutive, fixed duration time interval.
3.4
corrected area slice
area slice (3.3) corrected for baseline offset by subtraction of the exactly corresponding area slice in a
previously recorded blank (non-sample) analysis
3.5
cumulative corrected area
accumulated sum of corrected area slices (3.4) from t
