Apparatus equipped with a thermal detection device shall be used.
Suitable test methods to be proposed by CEN/TC 19
ASTM D 1160 shall be used to obtain the 10% distillation residue.
Pending development of a suitable method by CEN/TC 19, EN 12662 shall be used.
The precision of EN 12662 is however poor for FAME products.
Suitable test method and limit to be proposed by CEN/TC 19.
