The new fourth edition of BiH standard was just published. BAS EN 14078: 2017, Liquid petroleum products - Determination of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) in middle distillates - Infrared spectrometry method, as a bilingual version in Serbian and English, is adopted as a translation of the European standard EN 14078: 2014, Liquid petroleum products - Determination of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content in middle distillates - Infrared spectrometry method.

This standard specifies a test method for determination of Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) content in diesel fuel or domestic heating fuel by mid infrared spectrometry which applies to FAME contents of the three measurement ranges as follows:

• range A: for FAME contents ranging from approx. 0.05% (V/V) to approx. 3% (V/V);
• range B: for FAME contents ranging from approx. 3% (V/V) to approx. 20% (V/V):
• range C: for FAME contents ranging from approx. 20% (V/V) to approx. 50% (V/V).

Principally, higher FAME contents can also be analyzed if diluted; however, no precision data for results outside the specified range is available at present.

BiH standard BAS EN 14078: 2017 has been prepared by the Technical Committee BAS/TC 11, Petroleum and petroleum products.
