CEN/TC 441 - Project Committee - Fuel labelling
Development of standards that provide a harmonized identifier of marketed liquid and gaseous fuels. The requirements set in the standard shall be based on real information needs of consumers regarding the fuel- and vehicle-compatibility. The identifier shall consist of a graphical expression, defined also in term of colour and shape, and be simple and easy to understand while ensuring clear and consistent labelling of existing and new market fuels. Marketed fuels include petroleum-derived fuel blends, synthetic fuels, biofuels, natural gas, petroleum gas and biogas based fuels and hydrogen delivered to non-stationary applications

The requirements set in the standard shall be based on real information needs of consumers regarding the fuel- and vehicle-compatibility. The identifier shall consist of a graphical expression, defined also in term of colour and shape, and be simple and easy to understand while ensuring clear and consistent labelling of existing and new market fuels. Marketed fuels include petroleum-derived fuel blends, synthetic fuels, biofuels, natural gas, petroleum gas and biogas based fuels and hydrogen delivered to non-stationary applications This committee has published 4 standards.
CEN/TC 441 develops CEN standards in the area of F23 - ENERGY - Information technology. The scope of work includes: Development of standards that provide a harmonized identifier of marketed liquid and gaseous fuels. The requirements set in the standard shall be based on real information needs of consumers regarding the fuel- and vehicle-compatibility. The identifier shall consist of a graphical expression, defined also in term of colour and shape, and be simple and easy to understand while ensuring clear and consistent labelling of existing and new market fuels. Marketed fuels include petroleum-derived fuel blends, synthetic fuels, biofuels, natural gas, petroleum gas and biogas based fuels and hydrogen delivered to non-stationary applications Currently, there are 4 published standards from this technical committee.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Technical Committee (TC) in CEN is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
This document lays down harmonized identifiers for marketed liquid and gaseous fuels. The requirements in this document are to complement the informational needs of users regarding the compatibility between the fuels and the vehicles that are placed on the market. The identifier is intended to be visualized at dispensers and refuelling points, on vehicles, in motor vehicle dealerships and in consumer manuals as described in this document.
Marketed fuels include for example petroleum-derived fuels, synthetic fuels, biofuels, natural gas, LPG, hydrogen and biogas and blends of the aforementioned delivered to mobile applications.
NOTE For the purposes of this document, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent respectively the mass fraction, µ, and the volume fraction, φ.

This European Standard lays down harmonized identifiers for marketed liquid and gaseous fuels. The requirements in this standard are set to complement information needs of users regarding the fuel- and vehicle-compatibility that are placed on the market. The development of this standard focused on vehicles placed on the market for the first time, which does not preclude the application of this standard also to vehicles already in circulation. The identifier is intended to be visualized at dispensers and refuelling points, on vehicles, in motor vehicle dealerships and in consumer manuals as described in this document.
Marketed fuels include for example petroleum-derived fuels, synthetic fuels, biofuels, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, hydrogen and biogas and blends of the aforementioned delivered to non-stationary applications.
