Fat and oil derivatives - Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAME) - Determination of oxidation stability (accelerated oxidation test)

This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of the oxidation stability of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) at 110 °C, by means of measuring the induction period up to 48 h.
NOTE 1   EN 15751 [1] describes a similar test method for oxidation stability determination of pure fatty acid methyl esters and of blends of FAME with petroleum-based diesel containing 2 % (V/V) of FAME at minimum.
NOTE 2   The precision statement of this test method was determined in a Round Robin exercise with induction periods up to 8,5 h, thus covering the limit value in EN 14214. Results from precision studies on EN 15751 indicate that the precision statement is valid for induction periods up to 48 h but not for higher values.
NOTE 3   Limited studies on EN 15751 with EHN (2-ethyl hexyl nitrate) on FAME blends indicated that the stability is reduced to an extent which is within the reproducibility of the test method. It is likely that the oxidation stability of pure FAMEs is also reduced in the presence of EHN when EN 14112 is used for testing.

Erzeugnisse aus pflanzlichen und tierischen Fetten und Ölen - Fettsäure-Methylester (FAME) - Bestimmung der Oxidationsstabilität (beschleunigte Oxidationsprüfung)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Oxidationsstabilität von Fettsäure-Methylestern (FAME) bei 110 °C mittels Messung der Induktionszeit bis zu 48 h fest.
Bei längeren Induktionszeiten als 8,5 h ist die Präzision nicht durch die Präzisionsangabe dieses Verfahren abgedeckt.
ANMERKUNG 1 EN 15751 [1] beschreibt ein ähnliches Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Oxidationsstabilität von reinen Fettsäure-Methylestern und von Mischungen von FAME mit aus Erdöl hergestellten Dieselkraftstoffen, die mindestens 2 % (V/V) FAME enthalten.
ANMERKUNG 2 Die Präzisionsangabe dieses Prüfverfahrens wurde in einem Ringversuch mit Induktionszeiten bis zu 8,5 h bestimmt und deckt damit den Grenzwert in EN 14214 ab. Die Ergebnisse aus Untersuchungen zur Präzision der EN 15751 zeigten, dass die angegebene Präzision für Induktionszeiten bis zu 48 h, nicht jedoch für höhere Werte, gültig ist.
ANMERKUNG 3 Begrenzte Studien zur EN 15751 mit EHN (2-Ethylhexylnitrat) mit FAME-Mischungen wiesen darauf hin, dass sich die Stabilität in einem Umfang verringert, der innerhalb der Vergleichbarkeit dieses Prüfverfahrens liegt. Es ist wahrscheinlich, dass die Oxidationsstabilität von reinen Fettsäure-Methylestern in Gegenwart von EHN ebenfalls verringert wird, wenn die EN 14112 zur Prüfung angewendet wird.
ANMERKUNG 4 Für die Zwecke dieser Europäischen Norm wird zur Angabe des Volumenanteils einer Substanz der Ausdruck „% (V/V)“ verwendet.

Produits dérivés des corps gras - Esters méthyliques d'acides gras (EMAG) - Détermination de la stabilité à l'oxydation (Essai d'oxydation accélérée)

Le présent document spécifie une méthode de détermination de la stabilité à l’oxydation des esters méthyliques d'acides gras (EMAG) à 110 °C, en mesurant la période d'induction pendant une durée pouvant atteindre 48 h.
Pour les périodes d'induction supérieures à 8,5 h, la fidélité n’est pas couverte par les données de fidélité de la présente méthode.
NOTE 1 L’EN 15751 [1] décrit une méthode d’essai similaire permettant de déterminer la stabilité à l’oxydation des esters méthyliques d’acides gras et des mélanges d’EMAG avec un carburant à base de pétrole contenant au moins 2 % (V/V) d’EMAG.
NOTE 2 Les données de fidélité de la présente méthode ont été déterminées lors d'un essai interlaboratoires avec des périodes d’induction pouvant atteindre 8,5 h, couvrant ainsi la valeur limite indiquée dans l’EN 14214. Les résultats des études de fidélité sur l’EN 15751 indiquent que les données de fidélité sont valables pour des périodes d’induction pouvant atteindre 48 h au maximum.
NOTE 3 Des études limitées sur l’EN 15751 avec l’EHN (2-éthylhexyl nitrate) sur les mélanges d’EMAG ont indiqué que la stabilité est réduite dans les limites de reproductibilité de la méthode d’essai. Il semblerait que la stabilité à l’oxydation des EMAG purs soit également réduite en présence d’EHN lorsque l’EN 14112 est utilisée pour les essais.
NOTE 4 Pour les besoins du présent document, le terme « % (V/V) » est utilisé pour représenter la fraction volumique.

process. They are passed, together with the air, into a flask containing demineralized or distilled water, and
equipped with a conductivity electrode. The electrode is connected to a measuring and recording device. It
indicates the end of the induction period by rapid increase of the conductivity due to the dissociation of volatile
carboxylic acids produced during the oxidation process and absorbed in the water. For more details on the
background of the method see Annex A.
