EN 14078 Liquid Petroleum Products, Determination of Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) Content in Medium Distillates, Infrared Spectrometry Method

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of EN 14078 test standard. This European standard specifies a test method applied to the FAME content for the determination of the Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) content in diesel fuel or domestic heating fuel by mid-infrared spectrometry.

In principle, higher FAME contents can also be analyzed when diluted; however, no precision data is currently available for results outside the specified range.
This test method has been verified to be applicable to samples containing YAME conforming to EN 14214 or EN 14213.

Reliable quantitative results are only obtained if the samples do not contain significant amounts of other interfering components, particularly esters and other carbonyl compounds with absorption. If such interfering components are present, this test method is expected to produce higher values.

Use of this European standard may involve hazardous materials, processes and equipment. This European standard does not purport to address all safety problems associated with its use.

It is the responsibility of the user of this European Standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices prior to use and to determine the applicability of regulatory restrictions.
