EN 590 is a European standard defining the requirements for diesel fuel, ensuring
consistency and quality across the European Union. It specifies parameters like sulfur content, density, cetane number, and lubricity to guarantee optimal engine performance and environmental impact. With a maximum sulfur content of 10 ppm, EN 590 diesel promotes cleaner combustion, reducing emissions of harmful pollutants. Its high cetane number enhances ignition quality, leading to smoother engine operation and improved fuel efficiency. Additionally, EN 590 ensures adequate lubrication properties, safeguarding engine components against wear and tear. Overall, EN 590 diesel sets a benchmark for quality, reliability, and eco friendliness in diesel fuels.
