Standardization in transport fuels ensures the quality, safety, and environmental performance of fuels across Europe. It facilitates trade through common sampling and testing methods and supports clear consumer information, particularly around the compatibility of alternative fuels and vehicle labelling.
Biofuels, often used as blend components in conventional fuels, are also covered by dedicated standards.
CEN/TC 58 ‘Safety and control devices for burners and appliances burning gaseous or liquid fuels’ develop safety and control devices for equipment burning gaseous or liquid fuels, ranging from small domestic appliances to large industrial burners.
CEN/TC 335 ‘Solid Biofuels and Pyrogenic Biocarbon’ works on standardization and safety aspects in the field of raw and processed materials originating from arboriculture, agriculture, aquaculture, horticulture and forestry to be used as a source of solid biofuels.
