Biodiesel Quality again at Top Level in 2012

Again the Biodiesel quality of AGQM’s member companies is at top level in 2012; the annual report of Arbeitsgemeinschaft Qualitaetsmanagement Biodiesel (AGQM), available now, impressively demonstrates that the production of high-class products is paramount for all members.

As in previous years, more than 130 samples were taken at production plants and storage facilities of member companies. The results show that no problems at all occurred to also comply with the even more stringent requirements of both the revised Biodiesel standard DIN EN 14214 – published in November 2012 – and AGQM’s own stipulations. In many cases the quality was even significantly better than demanded; this applies particularly to parameters considered ‘critical ones’ by the automotive industry.

New requirements now integrated into the standard like the ‘Cloudpoint’ did not pose any problems for AGQM members either due to their early information by AGQM’s head office.

The detailed evaluation of the sampling campaign as well as additional information on the parameters tested is now available.
