DIESEL FUEL EN590 10PPM STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
DIESEL FUEL EN590 SPECIFICATIONS
The EN 590 had been introduced along with the European emission standards. With each of its revisions the EN 590 had been adapted to lower the sulphur content of diesel fuel – since 2007 this is called ultra low sulphur diesel as the former function of sulphur as a lubricant is absent (and needs to be replaced by additives).
The quality of European diesel fuels is specified by the EN 590 standard. While these specifications are not mandatory, they are observed by all fuel suppliers in Europe.
Q
What is the EN 590 standard?
EN 590 is a European standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered automotive diesel fuel. It ensures compatibility with European emission standards.
Q
What is the significance of the 10 ppm sulphur content?
10 ppm (parts per million) sulphur represents Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel (ULSD). This low concentration is designed to meet strict emission criteria and protect fuel systems, requiring specialized additives to substitute the lubrication properties formerly provided by higher sulphur levels.
