BS PD CEN/TR 16389:2017

BS PD CEN/TR 16389:2017 explains the requirements and test methods for marketed and deliveredparaffinic diesel as such from synthesis (XTL) or hydrotreatment (HVO) and of blends thereof with upto 7%(V/V) of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) according to European fuel specifications. It providesbackground information to judge the final text of the European Standard EN 15940 and gives guidanceand explanations to the producers, blenders, marketers and users of paraffinic automotive diesel.Paraffinic diesel is a high quality, clean burning fuel with virtually no sulfur and aromatics. Paraffinicdiesel fuel can be used in diesel engines, also to reduce regulated emissions. In order to have thegreatest possible emissions reduction, a specific calibration may be necessary. Paraffinic diesel fuel canalso offer a meaningful contribution to the target of increased non-crude derived and/or renewablecontent in transportation fuel pool.For general diesel engine warranty, paraffinic automotive diesel fuel may need a validation step toconfirm the compatibility of the fuel with the vehicle, which for some existing engines may still need tobe done. The vehicle manufacturer needs to be consulted before use.Cross References:EN 590:2013EN 14214:2012EN ISO 6245 (ISO 6245:2001 AS)EN 16709:2015EN 14112:2016EN 16576:2014ISO 6245:2001 Ed 3ISO 4259:2006 Ed 3ISO 5165:1998ISO 4264:2007ISO 12156-1:2016EN ISO 4259 (ISO 4259:2006) ASISO 12205:1995EN 15751:2014EN 16734:2016EN 14078:2014ASTM D1159 - 07(2017)UNE EN ISO 2160:1999 (S)ASTM D471 - 16AASTM D6890 - 16e1EN ISO 12937 (ISO 12937:2000 Adopted)EN 15195:2007EN 12916:2006ISO 3405:2011 Ed 4EN 15940:2016ISO 3675:1998EN ISO 4264 (ISO 4264:2007) ASEN ISO 12156-1 (ISO 12156-1:2016) ASEN ISO 2719 (ISO 2719:2016) ASCEN/TR 15367-1:2014EN ISO 12205:1996EN 23015:1994CEN/TR 16892EN ISO 5165:1998prEN 16906:2015DIN 51773:2010EN 16144:2012EN ISO 20884 (ISO 20884:2011) ASISO 2719:2016ISO 3104:1994NF EN ISO 3104:1996 (F)EN 12662:2014ISO 3015:1992EN 12916:2000ISO 2160:1998ISO 20884:2011EN 12916:2016CEN/TS 15940:2012EN ISO 20846 (ISO 20846:2011) ASISO 20846:2011ISO 12185:1996EN 12662:1998NF EN ISO 3675:1998 (F)CEN/TR 16389:2012EN 116:2015 EN 16942:2016EN ISO 10370 (ISO 10370:2014) ASEN 12662:2008EN 15195:2014EN ISO 3405 (ISO 3405:2011) ASISO 10370:2014 ED2EN 16329:2013ISO 12937:2000 (R05) Ed 1EN ISO 12185 (ISO 12185:1996 AS)ASTM D6591 - 11(2017)
