This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered fatty acid
methyl esters (hereafter known as FAME) to be used either as automotive fuel for diesel engines at
100 % concentration, or as an extender for automotive fuel for diesel engines in accordance with the requirements of EN 590. At 100 % concentration it is applicable to fuel for use in diesel engine vehicles designed or subsequently adapted to run on 100 % FAME.
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.
