Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

VAPOUR PRESSURE WAIVER PERMITTED FOR PETROL CONTAINING BIOETHANOL

The values quoted in the specification are ‘ true values ’ . In the establishment of their limit values, the terms of EN ISO 4259:2006 ‘ Petroleum products — Determination and application of precision data in relation to methods of test ’ have been applied and in fixing a minimum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero has been taken into account (R = reproducibility). The results of individual measurements shall be interpreted on the basis of the criteria described in EN ISO 4259:2006.

Bioethanol content (%v/v) Vapour pressure waiver permitted (kPa) f1
0 0
1 3,7
2 6,0
3 7,2
4 7,8
5 8,0
6 8,0
7 7,9
8 7,9
9 7,8
10 7,8

The permitted vapour pressure waiver for intermediate bioethanol content between the values listed shall be determined by a straight line interpolation between the bioethanol content immediately above and that immediately below the intermediate value.
