The values quoted in the specifications are "true values". For establishing the limit
values, the terms of ISO 4259:2006 (Petroleum products—Determination and applica-
tion of precision data in relation to methods of test) have been applied and for fixing a
minimum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero has been taken into account;
for fixing a maximum and minimum value, the minimum difference is 4R (R =
reproducibility).
Notwithstanding this measure, which is necessary for technical reasons, the fuel
manufacturer shall nevertheless aim at a zero value where the stipulated maximum
value is 2R and at the mean value when quoting maximum and minimum limits. Should
it be necessary to clarify whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifications, the
terms of ISO 4259:2006 shall be applied.
2
The fuel may contain oxidation inhibitors and metal deactivators normally used
to stabilize refinery petrol streams, but detergent/dispersive additives and solvent oils
shall not be added.
3
The actual sulphur content of the fuel used for the type I test shall be reported.
4
Ethanol meeting the specification of prEN 15376 is the only oxygenate that shall
be intentionally added to the reference fuel.
