FQMS — Fuel quality monitoring system 2007

Description

The European Fuel Quality Directive EU Directive 98/70/EC requires Member States to review and report annually compliance with environmental quality standards for fuels under the Fuel Quality Monitoring System (FQMS). Since 2003, the Federal Environment Agency has carried out these quality controls in Austria. In 2007, around 8.26 million tonnes of fuel were sold in Austria, 6.3 million tonnes (around 76 %) of which were diesel fuels. In order to exceed the quality of the fuel, a total of 303 samples were taken at 245 petrol stations throughout Germany — 150 of them in winter and 153 in the summer. Diesel fuel has been tested for compliance with ON EN 590, petrol for ON EN 228 compliance. In one sample, two exceedances of the established standard parameters have been demonstrated.
