Harmonising Biofuels Quality
and Labelling in Europe
Ortwin Costenoble – CEN Secretary
Biofuels International Conference – 22 September 2016

How does it work?
Fuels Quality Directive (FQD), 98/70/EC:
• Establishes minimum specifications for petrol and diesel
fuels for use in road and non-road mobile applications for
health and environmental reasons
• Environmental specifications for market fuels to be used for
vehicles equipped with positive ignition engines and
compression ignitions engines
• Member States shall ensure that petrol and diesel may be
placed on the market within their territory only if it complies
with the environmental specifications set out in Annex I/II
• Member States shall ensure the provision of appropriate
information to consumers concerning the biofuel content

Link between CEN specs and FQD
CEN implements the FQD as part of its standards
EN 228 and EN 590 are voluntary standards!
Countries can implement the FQD in different ways
• Some countries refer to EN 228 and EN 590 in law
• Some countries implement only the FQD in law
by Decrees
• 34 countries adopt CEN specifications nationally
• Note: All standards have their own national adoption to
comfort climates, additional regulations and
requirements for pump marking

How are these delivered?
Same fuel pump colours for different fuels
Different dispenser colours following the countries
Diesel : yellow in France, green in Greece
(black in other countries)

Alternative Fuels Infrastructure?
Directive 2014/94/EU
• EU intends to overcome the chicken-and-egg situation
for alternative fuels (CNG, LNG, H2, electricity, bio- and
synthetic fuels)
• Member States shall deploy infrastructure (minimise
dependence on oil and mitigate environmental impact)
• These installation shall fulfil to CEN standards
• Member States shall ensure that information is made
available which motor vehicles can be regularly fuelled
or recharged with these fuels (marketing and safety)
As of 18 November 2016 ……..

CEN/TC 441
Develop standards that provide a harmonized
graphical expression of the labelling requirement for
marketed liquid and gaseous fuels. The expression
shall include a colour-coding scheme and be simple
and easy to understand while ensuring clear and
consistent labelling of existing and new market fuels.
The requirements set in the standard shall be based
on real information needs of consumers regarding the
fuel- and vehicle-compatibility which they need
when they arrive at a filling station, fuel outlet or
recharging point

CEN/TC 441
In view of the harmonization of fuel labelling around
Europe a single standard is developed:
• Member States only need to refer to a single document
in their implementation of the Directive,
• Industry only has to check one document for information
about the labelling of their installations and vehicles,
• New fuels can in the future be standardized under a
single document.

Variability in fuel pump design
Biofuels International Conference – 22 September 2016 – O. Costenoble
What happens at the pump?
14 active countries and
11 European associations
(fuels, OEMs, consumers)
worked for a year
4 EC Directorates
participated and informed
the MS continuously
EN 16942 was published
on 12 October 2016
