22、2016EN 16942:2016 (E) 3 European foreword This document (EN 16942:2016) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 441 “Fuel labelling”, the secretariat of which is held by NEN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text o
23、r by endorsement, at the latest by April 2017, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for
24、 identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supports the implementation of European Directive 2014/94/EU 1. This document has been developed on the basis of instructions of the European Commission via letters to CEN and CENELEC. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the na
25、tional standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, L

BS EN 16942:2016EN 16942:2016 (E) 4 Introduction In accordance with Article 7, of the Directive 2014/94/EU 1 the EU Member States have to bring
27、into force by 18 November 2016 the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary in order to ensure that user information on the compatibility of their vehicles with the fuels or electricity recharging points is provided in motor vehicle manuals, at refuelling and recharging points, as w
28、ell as on motor vehicles and in motor vehicle dealerships in their territory. As specified in the Article, this information has to be based on labelling provisions of ESO1)standards setting technical specifications of fuels. However, none of the labelling provisions of the existing European Standard
29、s for fuel quality (such as EN 228 2 for petrol and EN 590 3 for diesel fuel) includes a graphical expression that meets the requirements of the Directive. In a letter to CEN of 26 August 2015, the European Commission requested the work of CEN/TC 441 to aim at development and adoption of appropriate
30、 European Standard(-s) setting harmonized compatibility labelling specifications for individual fuels placed on the market. These provisions should include a graphical expression, including a colour coding scheme. The graphical expression should also be in line with the following requirements of Art
31、icle 7 of Directive 2014/94/EU: a) to provide relevant, consistent and clear information as regards to those motor vehicles which can be regularly fuelled with compatible fuels placed on the market, b) to be simple and easy to understand; c) to be able to be placed in a clearly visible manner: 1) on
32、 corresponding fuel pumps and their nozzles at refuelling points, 2) on or in the immediate proximity of fuel tanks filler caps for vehicles, recommended and compatible with that fuel and in motor vehicle manuals. CEN decided that it would develop a single standard laying down the systematics of the
33、 graphical expression for the identification of fuel-vehicle compatibility that would cover a multitude of (existing and future) market fuels. This would allow industry and governments to use this document as basis for implementation of Directive 2014/94/EU. Also existing and future European Standar
34、ds that need to set requirements regarding labelling can refer to this Standard. The development of this standard focused on vehicles placed on the market for the first time, which does not preclude the application of this standard also to vehicles already in circulation. This document is not intend
35、ed to replace any existing quality, safety or performance recommendations, marketing or branding communication currently featured in similar locations at re-fuelling points, vehicle fuel caps or vehicle manuals. 1) European Standardization Organization. BS EN 16942:2016EN 16942:2016 (E) 5 1 Scope Th
36、is European Standard lays down harmonized identifiers for marketed liquid and gaseous fuels. The requirements in this standard are to complement the informational needs of users regarding the compatibility between the fuels and the vehicles that are placed on the market. The identifier is intended t
37、o be visualized at dispensers and refuelling points, on vehicles, in motor vehicle dealerships and in consumer manuals as described in this document. Marketed fuels include for example petroleum-derived fuels, synthetic fuels, biofuels, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, hydrogen and biogas and b
38、lends of the aforementioned delivered to mobile applications. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 compatibility fuel/vehicle compatibility possibility of the fuel to be regularly used in a vehicle without adverse effects on the pe
39、rformance characteristics of the vehicle as declared by the vehicle manufacturer Note 1 to entry: Usually, it is the components of the vehicle that are exposed to the fuel or the exhaust gases that may show compatibility issues. 2.2 nozzle mechanical system, fitted to the hose of the dispensing syst
40、em, consisting of a filling nozzle body Note 1 to entry: This definition is derived from EN 14678-3:2013, 3.8 4. 2.3 filler cap sealing mechanism of the fuel filling point on a vehicle 2.4 filler flap area of vehicle bodywork that covers a filler cap and opens to provide access to the filler cap or
41、provide a fuel sealing mechanism for cap-less systems 2.5 identifier graphical expression of compatibility consisting of shape and symbol 2.6 symbol expression by a combination of letters, numbers or pictorials 2.7 vehicle motor vehicle transport modality that can be fuelled with a marketed fuel at
42、a refuelling point Note 1 to entry: Vessels are included herein, in line with 1. BS EN 16942:2016EN 16942:2016 (E) 6 2.8 dispenser fuel pump equipment through which a fuel is supplied to a transport modality 2.9 refuelling point facility for the provision of any fuel through one or more dispensers N
43、ote 1 to entry: In practice, terms like service station or filling station are also used. 3 Principle The identifier laid down in this European Standard consists of a simple shape and symbol that is used to assist consumers in identifying the compatibility of the fuel supplied at a refuelling point.
44、 It complements European Standards for setting technical specifications of fuels and also for installation and commissioning of refuelling points. This European Standard defines for each harmonized labelling identifier the size, shape, colour and other information of relevance for compatibility reco
45、gnition, as well as the location of placement on the refuelling points and near the vehicle fuel tank. The labelling provisions, including those on the graphical expression are designed in such a way that they can be adapted to fuels offered on the market for which currently no European Standard for
46、 setting technical specifications of fuels exists. This European Standard provides harmonized compatibility labelling across Europe and thus effectively support the implementation of Article 7 of Directive 2014/94/EU 1 by the EU Member States. The European Standard complements the informational need
47、s of a vehicle user arriving at a refuelling point as regards to the compatibility between a fuel and motor vehicle engine so that consumer can easily distinguish amongst fuel types and grades (e.g. petrol, diesel, LPG, natural gas, etc.) and the compatibility of those fuels with their vehicles engi
48、ne. Annex A provides examples of each of the identifiers defined in this European Standard. 4 General identifier requirements 4.1 Colour scheme The identifier shall be executed in black with a white or silver internal background. NOTE Silver labels or plates are common identification spots, for inst
49、ance in cars and on motor cycles. 4.2 Discrimination of fuel types In the identifier a shape is used to discriminate three different base fuel types: a) petrol-type fuels, b) diesel-type fuels, and c) gaseous type fuels. BS EN 16942:2016EN 16942:2016 (E) 7 4.3 Size The minimum size of the identifier is defined for a potential need of more than one identifier to be put on a vehicle which can regularly use more than one fuel type offered on the market, in combination with the available space on the filler flap and on the dispenser. In order for th
