The responsible German committee is NA 062-06-32-04 UA "Spiegelausschuss zur CEN/TC 19 TF - Analytik und Spezifikation von Ethanol und E85 und ISO/TC 28/SC 7/WG 4" ("Mirror committee of CEN/TC 19 TF - Analytics and specification of Ethanol and E 85 and ISO/TC 28/SC 7/WG 4") at the Standardization Committee for Petroleum, Fuels, Lubricants and Related Products (FAM) of the Materials Testing Standards Committee (NMP). This European Standard specifies a gas chromatographic method for ethanol, in which higher alcohols from 0,1 % up to 2,5 % (m/m), methanol from 0,1 % up to 3 % (m/m) and other impurities, in the range from 0,1 % up to 2 % (m/m) are determined. Due to possible interferences, the method is not applicable to denatured ethanol samples.
