Off-road Diesel

From January 1, 2011, the EU Fuel Quality Directive (FQD) 98/70/EC as amended, set a mandatory 10 mg/kg maximum sulfur limit in diesel used by non-road mobile machinery (including inland waterway vessels), agricultural and forestry tractors, and recreational craft.

However, in order to accommodate minor contamination in the supply chain, member states may, as from January 1, 2011, permit gas oil intended for use by non-road mobile machinery (including inland waterway vessels), agricultural and forestry tractors, and recreational craft to contain up to 20 mg/kg of sulfur at the point of final distribution to end users.

European legislation does not address other quality parameters for off-road diesel.
