Scope

The purpose of this European Standard is to determine the ester content of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) intended for use as pure biofuel or as a blending component for heating and diesel fuels. It also allows to determine the linolenic acid methyl ester content. It allows one to verify that the ester content of FAME is greater than 90 % (m/m) and that the linolenic acid content is between 1 % (m/m) and 15 % (m/m). This method is suitable for FAME which contain methyl esters between C14 and C24.
