This draft European Standard is submitted to CEN members for enquiry. It has been drawn up by the Technical Committee
CEN/TC 19.
If this draft becomes a European Standard, CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations
which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

This draft European Standard was established by CEN in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre has the same status as the official versions.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of 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, Türkiye and
United Kingdom.
Recipients of this draft are invited to submit, with their comments, notification of any relevant patent rights of which they are
aware and to provide supporting documentation.

Warning : This document is not a European Standard. It is distributed for review and comments. It is subject to change without
notice and shall not be referred to as a European Standard.

European foreword
This document (prEN 590:2024) 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 document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 590:2022.
This document has originally been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association [6].
Requirements following amendment 2003/17/EC [2], 2009/30/EC [3], 2011/63/EU [4] and
2014/77/EU [5] to the European Fuels Quality Directive 98/70/EC [1], are taken into account. Dates are
included with all normative test method references for properties required by Annex II of the Fuels
Quality Directive 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 similar
accuracy and the same or better 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 [7].
Further significant technical changes between this document and the previous edition are EN 590:2022:
— introduction of Clause 3 “Terms and definitions”;
— inclusion of a particle count limit of 10,000 counts/ml for particles ≥ 4 μm at “the point of particle
certification” in a new Table 2 and 6.5;
— introduction of test method IP 630 procedure A and B to measure the number of particles ≥ 4 μm in
diesel fuel;
— addition of the constant pressure viscometer method (EN ISO 18335) as an alternative test method
to viscosity by EN ISO 3104;
3 3
— a reduction of the minimum density for summer grades (A, B, C) from 820,0 kg/m to 815,0 kg/m
and the displacement of the parameter to Table 1;
— addition of Annex A “Further information regarding particle count requirements”.

1 Scope
This document specifies requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered automotive diesel
fuel. It is applicable to automotive diesel fuel for use in diesel engine vehicles designed to run on
automotive diesel fuel containing up to 7,0 %(V/V) Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME).
NOTE 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.
