    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines the requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered ethanol (E85) automotive fuel according to EN 15293. Also provides background information on the final text of the draft European standard and gives guidance and explanations to the producers, blenders, marketers and users of ethanol (E85) automotive fuel.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This Technical Report explains the requirements and test methods for marketed and delivered ethanol (E85) automotive fuel according to CEN/TS 15293. It provides background information to judge the (approval of the) final text of the standard and gives guidance and explanations to the producers, blenders, marketers and users of ethanol (E85) automotive fuel. NOTE 1 This document is directly related to the pending revision of CEN/TS 15293:2011 and will be updated once further publications take place. NOTE 2 For the purposes of this document, the terms \'% (m/m)\' and \'% (V/V)\' are used to represent the mass fraction, µ, and the volume fraction, ?, respectively.
