Sweden’s Fuel Quality Act introduced an additional criterion, 5% v/v max limit for aromatics, for diesel of Environmental Class 1. The figure below indicates that this limit has been exceeded. However, the EU Fuel Quality does not require monitoring of this parameter.

The Swedish Fuel Act does not allow polyaromatics in the diesel of Environmental Class 1. SGS diesel sampling in Sweden indicated a good compliance with this requirement. The EU Fuel Quality Directive allows polyaromatics up to 8% wt in diesel.
