ANNEX IVU.K. Amendments to Regulation (EU) No 582/2011

Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 is amended as follows:

(1)

Annex VIII is amended as follows:

(a)

In Appendix 1, point 2.1.2.(2) is replaced by the following:

‘(2)

hydrogen-carbon-oxygen ratio: fixed values shall be used which are:

C1H1,93O0,033 for petrol (E10),

C1H1,86O0,007 for diesel (B7),

C1H2,525 for LPG (liquefied petroleum gas),

CH4 for NG (natural gas) and biomethane,

C1H2,74O0,385 for ethanol (E85),

C1H2,92O0,046 for ethanol for dedicated C.I. engines (ED95).

(b)

In Appendix 1, point 2.1.3.(a) is replaced by the following:

‘(a)

for vehicles with a positive ignition engine fuelled with petrol (E10):

(c)

In Appendix 1, point 2.1.3.(e) is replaced by the following:

‘(e)

for vehicles with a compression-ignition engine fuelled with diesel (B7):

(2)

Annex IX is amended as follows:

(a)

In the section ‘Technical data on fuels for testing compression-ignition engines’, the table with the title ‘Type Diesel (B7)’ is replaced by the following table:

Type: Diesel (B7)

a

The values quoted in the specifications are “true values”. In establishment of their limit values the terms of ISO 4259 Petroleum products – Determination and application of precision data in relation to methods of test have been applied and in fixing a minimum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero has been taken into account; in fixing a maximum and minimum value, the minimum difference is 4R (R = reproducibility). Notwithstanding this measure, which is necessary for technical reasons, the manufacturer of fuels shall nevertheless aim at a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R and at the mean value in the case of quotations of maximum and minimum limits. Should it be necessary to clarify whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifications, the terms of ISO 4259 shall be applied.

b

The range for cetane number is not in accordance with the requirements of a minimum range of 4R. However, in the case of a dispute between fuel supplier and fuel user, the terms of ISO 4259 may be used to resolve such disputes provided replicate measurements, of sufficient number to archive the necessary precision, are made in preference to single determinations.

c

Even though oxidation stability is controlled, it is likely that shelf life will be limited. Advice shall be sought from the supplier as to storage conditions and life.

d

FAME content to meet the specification of EN 14214.

In establishment of their limit values the terms of ISO 4259 Petroleum products - Determination and application of precision data in relation to methods of test have been applied and in fixing a minimum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero has been taken into account; in fixing a maximum and minimum value, the minimum difference is 4R (R = reproducibility).

b

A correction factor of 0,2 for MON and RON shall be subtracted for the calculation of the final result in accordance with EN 228:2008.

c

The fuel may contain oxidation inhibitors and metal deactivators normally used to stabilise refinery gasoline streams, but detergent/dispersive additives and solvent oils shall not be added.

d

Ethanol is the only oxygenate that shall be intentionally added to the reference fuel. The ethanol used shall conform to EN 15376.

e

The actual sulphur content of the fuel used for the Type 6 test shall be reported.

f

There shall be no intentional addition of compounds containing phosphorus, iron, manganese, or lead to this reference fuel.
