FQMS - Fuel quality monitoring system 2010
Description
According to the Fuel Quality Directive, compliance with environmental quality standards for fuels must be reviewed and reported annually as part of the Fuel Quality Monitoring System. Since 2003, the Federal Environment Agency has been carrying out these quality controls in Austria. In 2010, around 8.05 million tonnes of fuel were sold in Austria, of which 6.23 million tonnes (around 77 %) were diesel fuels. In order to check the quality of the fuels, a total of 303 samples were taken at 303 filling stations throughout Germany, 150 of them in the winter and 153 in the summer half-year. Diesel fuel has been tested for compliance with ON EN 590 and petrol fuel has been tested for compliance with ON EN 228. A total of 9 deviations of the defined standard parameters were found (6 exceedances of the maximum vapour pressure, 2 of the maximum sulphur content and 1 during the boiling process).
