Compliance Standards

The New Zealand biodiesel standard is NZS7500-2005. It is based on the EN standard EN14214

Small differences have been allowed in the New Zealand standard to ensure compliance when local feedstocks are used (tallow, coconut, palm oils).

NZS7500 -2005 specifies three products B100, B5 and blends > 5%.

For a comprehensive comparison of New Zealand’s standards and EN 14214, ASTM D6751 and the proposed Japanese B5 standard go to Specifications (PDF, 43Kb).
