Two-year work of a team of experts was aimed at standardization of rapeseed oil methyl esters (amendment of CSN 65 6507 standard) and a new fuel for diesel engines containing more than 30 weight % of these methyl esters (new standard CSN 65 6508). A high quality of mixed fuel is laid down by technical parameters of these related standards; the technical standard of the fuel is consistent with the latest trends enforced in EU. Use of mixed fuels with the content of rapeseed oil methyl esters higher than 30 % has dynamically increased in the Czech Republic to account for a 7 % share in the total consumption of fuels for diesel engines in this country in 1997. Both quality standards are currently applied as a criterion for the control of technical equivalence of products as established by law, they are used by laboratories providing services to customs offices and Financial Control organs for the purposes of tax relief associated with biofuel production and use.
