This European Standard specifies a method for determining contamination as the content of undissolved substances in middle distillates, expressed as a mass fraction in milligrams/kilogram. Note: Contaminants can give rise to faults, for example the blocking of filters, and their presence is therefore undesirable. This standard applies to liquid petroleum products having a kinematic viscosity not exceeding 8 mm2/s at 20°C, or 5 mm2/s at 40°C, e.g. diesel fuel as specified in EN 590 1) or light fuel oils.
