  "text": "The values quoted in the specifications are ‘true values’. In establishment of their limit values the terms of ISO 4259 ‘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; in fixing a maximum and minimum value, the minimum difference is 4R (R = reproducibility).\nNotwithstanding this measure, which is necessary for technical reasons, the manufacturer of fuels should nevertheless aim at a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R and at the mean value in the case of quotations of maximum and minimum limits. Should it be necessary to clarify the questions as to whether a fuel meets the requirements of the specifications, the terms of ISO 4259 should be applied.\nThe range for the cetane number is not in accordance with the requirements of a minimum range of 4R. However, in the case of a dispute between fuel supplier and fuel user, the terms of ISO 4259 may be used to resolve such disputes provided replicate measurements, of sufficient number to archive the necessary precision, are made in preference to single determinations.\nEven though oxidation stability is controlled, it is likely that shelf life will be limited. Advice should be sought from the supplier as to storage conditions and life.\nParameter\nUnit\nLimits\nTest Method\nminimum\nmaximum\nCetane number\n45\n56,0\nEN-ISO 5165\nDensity at 15 °C\nkg/m3\n833\n865\nEN-ISO 3675\nDistillation:\n50 % point\n°C\n245\n—\nEN-ISO 3405\n95 % point\n°C\n345\n350\nEN-ISO 3405\nFinal boiling point\n°C\n—\n370\nEN-ISO 3405\nFlash point\n°C\n55\n—\nEN 22719\nCFPP\n°C\n—\n– 5\nEN 116\nViscosity at 40 °C\nmm2/s\n2,3\n3,3\nEN-ISO 3104\nPolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons\n% m/m\n2,0\n6,0\nIP 391\nSulphur content\nmg/kg\n—\n10\nASTM D 5453\nCopper corrosion\n—\nclass 1\nEN-ISO 2160\nConradson carbon residue (10 % DR)\n% m/m\n—\n0,2\nEN-ISO 10370\nAsh content\n% m/m\n—\n0,01\nEN-ISO 6245\nTotal contamination\nmg/kg\n—\n24\nEN 12662\nWater content\n% m/m\n—\n0,02\nEN-ISO 12937\nNeutralization (strong acid) number\nmg KOH/g\n—\n0,10\nASTM D 974\nOxidation stability\nmg/ml\n—\n0,025\nEN-ISO 12205\nLubricity (HFRR wear scar diameter at 60 °C)\nμm\n—\n400\nCEC F-06-A-96\nOxidation stability at 110 °C\nH\n20,0\n—\nEN 15751\nFAME\n% v/v\n—\n7,0\nEN 14078",
