Overview
SIST-TP CEN/TR 16435:2013 is a Technical Report that provides essential background guidance for the blending of oxygenates and alcohols in liquid petroleum products, specifically in line with the current requirements of EN 228 for unleaded petrol. Prepared by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), the document addresses the challenges blenders face in meeting legal limitations set out in the revised Fuels Quality Directive and maintaining compliance with EN 228 standards for petrol fuels.
Oxygenates, such as ethanol and ethers, are commonly blended into petrol to meet regulatory and environmental requirements, notably concerning oxygen content and related emissions. This report aids stakeholders by detailing relevant blend examples, properties of oxygenates, and the relationship between mass and volume fractions (% m/m and % V/V), supporting both regulatory compliance and product quality targets in the automotive fuels sector.
Key Topics
Legal and Regulatory Framework:
- Focuses on the implications of the revised Fuels Quality Directive (including references to Directive 2009/30/EC and 2011/63/EU) and their requirements for oxygenate use in petrol blending.
- Outlines how to stay within the prescribed limits for oxygenates and oxygen content in accordance with EN 228:2012.
Characteristics of Oxygenates:
- Provides comparative data on various oxygenates (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, ETBE) including density, molecular weight, and typical oxygen content.
- Discusses the impact of blending on fuel properties, emphasizing how composition and purity influence final petrol characteristics.
Blending Guidelines:
- Examines the conversion calculation between mass fraction (% m/m) and volume fraction (% V/V) of different components, addressing variations in density and potential non-linear interactions within blends.
- Features several example blends (e.g., E5 and E10 grades) to illustrate practical approaches for meeting the oxygen content specifications in line with EN 228.
Reference Data and Calculations:
- Summarizes key data from EN 228:2012, covering typical oxygenates allowed for use and how to calculate blending ratios.
Applications
Fuel Production and Blending:
- Guides fuel blenders and refiners in selecting, proportioning, and blending oxygenates to satisfy both legal and quality requirements for unleaded petrol.
- Useful in ensuring that final fuel products remain within the oxygen content limits set by EN 228 and European fuel quality directives.
Quality Assurance:
- Supports laboratory and quality control staff in verifying that blending operations comply with regulatory standards on oxygenate content.
- Assists compliance teams in adopting best practices for measurement and reporting aligned with legislative demands.
Technical Training and Reference:
- Serves as a reference tool for training personnel involved in fuel formulation and regulatory compliance.
- Provides foundational data for technical professionals working with petrol quality specification and fuel innovation.

2 Background
The purpose of this Technical Report is to provide guidance when blending oxygenates while meeting the
requirements of EN 228:2012 [3] for both oxygenates and oxygen content as listed in Table 1 and Table 2 of
that European Standard.
Selected properties of some commonly used oxygenates and examples of six oxygenated blends are reported
to demonstrate the relationship between the concentration of oxygenated blending components and oxygen
content.
The data given in this document are based on the properties of pure chemical products. If impurities, by-
products or unreacted feedstocks are present in the oxygenates, these data may differ slightly from those for
commercial oxygenates.
3 General issues
