La présente Norme européenne définit le terme bio-lubrifiant ainsi que les exigences minimales applicables à tous les types de bio-lubrifiants et lubrifiants d'origine biologique, tandis que d'autres documents, tels que l'EEL[4] par exemple, se rapportent à des familles bien précises de bio-lubrifiants.
La présente Norme européenne décrit également brièvement les besoins relatifs à la méthode d'essai pertinente pour ce qui concerne la caractérisation des bio-lubrifiants. Elle propose des recommandations pour les normes connexes dans le domaine de la biodégradabilité, la fonctionnalité du produit ainsi que la quantité de matières premières renouvelables différentes et/ou de différents composants d'origine biologique utilisés pendant la fabrication des bio-lubrifiants formant un groupe de produits.
AVERTISSEMENT: Tous les risques potentiels pour l'environnement ne peuvent être traités dans cette norme.

Overview
EN 16807:2016 - Liquid petroleum products: Bio-lubricants is a European Standard published by CEN that defines the term bio-lubricant / bio-based lubricant and sets minimum, horizontally‑applicable requirements for all kinds of bio-lubricants. The standard clarifies expectations for biodegradability, bio-based content and aquatic toxicity, and outlines relevant test method needs and related standards. It is intended to reduce market confusion around the “bio-” prefix and to support consistent, measurable claims about environmental performance.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Terminology and scope
- Establishes a clear definition of bio-lubricant / bio-based lubricant applicable across lubricant families.
- Minimum criteria
- Specifies requirements relating to bio-based content, biodegradability, ecotoxicity (aquatic toxicity) and fit-for-purpose performance for final formulated products.
- Test methods & characterization
- Recommends testing approaches for:
- Biodegradation (e.g., OECD/ISO style CO2 or O2 respirometry tests)
- Ecotoxicity (algae, daphnia, fish acute tests such as EN ISO 8692, 6341, 7346-1)
- Bio‑based carbon content (radiocarbon 14C method per CEN/TS 16640)
- Includes Annex A (informative) on 14C content methods and Annex B (normative) on lubricant application groups.
- Recommends testing approaches for:
- Sampling and mixture testing
- Emphasises testing of final formulations (mixtures), reflecting the end-user perspective, while noting this complements chemical-level assessments in regulatory frameworks.
- Limitations
- Warns that EN 16807:2016 cannot address all potential environmental risks and is positioned as minimum horizontal requirements (Ecolabels or product-specific standards may set stricter criteria).
Practical applications and users
Who uses EN 16807:2016:
- Lubricant manufacturers developing and marketing bio-lubricants or hybrid bio-based products.
- Test laboratories implementing recommended biodegradability, ecotoxicity and 14C methods.
- Procurement teams / public purchasers specifying environmentally preferable lubricants.
- OEMs and end users (hydraulics, turbines, gearboxes, greases, metalworking, engine oils, machine-tool lubricants) requiring validated environmental claims.
- Regulators and ecolabel schemes aligning product definitions and consumer information.
Benefits:
- Provides consistent language for eco-friendly lubricant claims, aids compliance, and improves market transparency for sustainable and bio-based lubricants.
Related standards
EN 16807:2016 references and complements standards such as:
- CEN/TS 16640 (radiocarbon method for bio-based carbon)
- EN ISO 9408 / 9439 / 14593 (biodegradability tests)
- EN ISO 6341, 8692, 7346-1 (aquatic toxicity tests)
- ISO/EN lubricant family standards (hydraulics, greases, turbines, engine oils)
