EN 590 is the European standard specifying the requirements and test methods for automotive diesel fuel. It ensures that diesel sold in Europe meets consistent performance, emissions, and safety standards.
Applies to diesel containing up to 7% biodiesel (FAME), commonly labeled B7.
Defines fuel quality parameters such as cetane number, density, viscosity, sulphur limit, lubricity, and cold-weather performance.
Used across the EU, UK, and many international markets aligned with EU fuel quality regulations.
