BS EN 590:2004
This British Standard was
published under the authority
of the Standards Policy and
Strategy Committee
on 27 August 2004
© BSI 2007
ISBN 978 0 580 59200 3
National foreword
This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 590:2004,
incorporating corrigendum December 2005. It supersedes BS EN 590:2000,
which is withdrawn.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by corrigendum is indicated
in the text by tags ˜™. Text altered by CEN corrigendum December 2005
is indicated in the text by ˆ‰.
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee
PTI/2, Liquid fuels.
A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on
request to its secretary.
EN 590 requires that each country implementing it establishes national
annexes detailing requirements for “pump marking”, and summer and winter
grades. Also, if the methods for sampling given in EN ISO 3170 or
EN ISO 3171 are not to be used, a national annex has to detail the national
requirements for sampling automotive diesel fuel. National Annex NA of
BS EN 590 gives additional requirements on sampling, in particular for
sampling from the pump; National Annex NB gives details of requirements for
pump marking; and National Annex NC gives details for summer and winter
grades.
The principal differences between BS EN 590:2000 and this edition are as
follows:
— the pump and nozzle marking requirements in National Annex NB
recommends that the prominent colour be black rather than the previous
choice of black, blue or yellow, and that a 2 year phase-in period would be
allowed for fuel suppliers to change their dispensers;
— the winter changeover dates in National Annex NC now run from
16 November to 15 March inclusive for sales from the retail pump; the dates
for deliveries from refineries and import terminals are unchanged at
16 October to 15 March inclusive. The date for the change from summer
grade to winter grade will be reviewed in the light of experience.
This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard cannot confer immunity from
legal obligations.

Foreword
This document EN 590:2004 has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 19 “Petroleum products,
lubricants and related products”, 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 July 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the
latest by July 2004.
This document supersedes EN 590:1999.
Significant technical changes between this European Standard and the previous edition are:
- The requirements of the European Fuels Directive 98/70/EC [1], including amendment 2003/17/EC [2]
have been included, supporting early national introduction of maximum 10 mg/kg sulfur automotive diesel
fuel.
- Provision is made for a maximum of 5 % (V/V) of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) to be included in
automotive diesel fuel.
- Dates have been included with all normative test method references in order to comply with the
requirements of the European Commission, with the accompanying assurance that updated versions will
always give similar accuracy and the same or better precision.
- Table 1 explicitly differentiates between requirements included in the European Fuels Directive 98/70/EC
[1], including Amendment 2003/17/EC [2], and other requirements.
- Many of the test methods included in this standard were the subject of inter-laboratory testing to determine
the applicability of the method and its precision in relation to blends of automotive diesel fuel containing
5 % (V/V) of different sources of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). These fatty acid methyl esters were
produced from rapeseed and sunflower oil.
Annex A is normative and contains the precision data generated on the test methods which are the result of
the inter-laboratory testing as mentioned above, carried out by working groups of CEN/TC19.This document
has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free
Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
and United Kingdom.

diesel fuel. It is applicable to automotive diesel fuel for use in diesel engine vehicles designed to run on
automotive diesel fuel.
NOTE For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms “% (m/m)” and “% (V/V)” are used to represent
respectively the mass fraction and the volume fraction.

3 Sampling
Samples shall be taken as described in EN ISO 3170 or EN ISO 3171 and/or in accordance with the
requirements of national standards or regulations for the sampling of automotive diesel fuel. The national
requirements shall be set out in detail or shall be referred to by reference in a national annex to this European
Standard.
In view of the sensitivity of some of the test methods referred to in this European Standard, particular attention
shall be paid to compliance with any guidance on sampling containers which is included in the test method
standard.
4 Pump marking
Information to be marked on dispensing pumps used for delivering automotive diesel fuel, and the dimensions
of the mark shall be in accordance with the requirements of national standards or regulations for the marking
of pumps for automotive diesel fuel. Such requirements shall be set out in detail or shall be referred to by
reference in a national annex to this European Standard.
NOTE It is recommended to set marking for sulfur in a National Annex to this European Standard. The recommended
designation for maximum 10 mg/kg sulfur content is “sulfur-free” in national language.

5 Requirements and test methods
5.1 Dyes and markers
The use of dyes or markers is allowed.
5.2 Additives
In order to improve the performance quality, the use of additives is allowed. Suitable fuel additives without
known harmful side-effects are recommended in the appropriate amount, to help to avoid deterioration of
driveability and emissions control durability. Other technical means with equivalent effect may also be used.
NOTE Deposit forming tendency test methods suitable for routine control purposes have not yet been identified and
developed.
5.3 Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME)
Diesel fuel may contain up to 5 % (V/V) of FAME complying with EN 14214.
NOTE A suitable method for the separation and identification of FAME is given in EN 14331 [3].
5.4 Generally applicable requirements and related test methods
5.4.1 When tested by the methods indicated in Table 1, automotive diesel fuel shall be in accordance with the
limits specified in Table 1.
5.4.2 The limiting value for the carbon residue given in Table 1 is based on product prior to addition of ignition
improver, if used. If a value exceeding the limit is obtained on finished fuel in the market, EN ISO 13759 shall
be used as an indicator of the presence of a nitrate-containing compound. If an ignition improver is thus
proved present, the limit value for the carbon residue of the product under test cannot be applied. The use of
additives does not exempt the manufacturer from meeting the requirement of maximum 0,30 % (m/m) of
carbon residue prior to addition of additives.

if present in diesel fuels, will overestimate the value for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. An improved method for the
determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is under development by CEN/TC 19.
