(Art. 21 and 24)
1«Extra light» heating oil comprises «Euro extra-light» heating oil and «eco extra-light» heating oil.
2Untreated vegetable oils and vegetable oil methyl esters that meet the requirements of standard SN EN 14214 (Liquid petroleum products – fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) for use in diesel engines and heating applications – requirements and test methods)1are deemed to be equivalent to «eco extra-light» heating oil.
The sulphur content of:
1Additives containing halogen or heavy metal compounds (except iron compounds) must not be added to heating oils.
2In addition, additives containing substances such as magnesium compounds which distort the results of smoke number measurement in the control of oil-fired installations must not be added to «extra light» heating oil.
3Waste oils must not be added to heating oils.
Other liquid fuels means liquid organic compounds which can be combusted like «extra light» heating oil and meet the requirements specified in Number 132.
1During combustion, other liquid fuels must not produce higher or other pollutant emissions than is the case with «extra light» heating oil.
2The content of pollutants in the fuel must not exceed the following limit values:
| Ash | 50 mg/kg |
|---|---|
| Chlorine | 50 mg/kg |
| Barium | 5 mg/kg |

| Phosphorus | 5 mg/kg |
| Polychlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. PCBs) | 1 mg/kg |
3In derogation from paragraph 2, for liquid biogenic fuels the following values apply for ash and phosphorus:
| Ash | 100 mg/kg |
|---|---|
| Phosphorus | 20 mg/kg |
Other liquid organic compounds which do not meet the requirements specified in Number 132 shall be regarded as special waste.
The sulphur content of coal, coal briquettes and coke must not exceed 3.0 % (m/m).
1Wood fuels means:
1. fence posts, beanpoles and other items made of solid wood used in horticulture or agriculture,
2. disposable pallets made of solid wood.
2Wood fuels do not include:
1. waste wood or wood waste which has been pressure-impregnated with wood preservatives or treated with coatings containing halogenated organic compounds;
2. wood waste or waste wood intensively treated with wood preservatives such as pentachlorophenol;
3. such waste mixed with wood fuels as specified in paragraph 1 or with waste wood as specified in letter a.
Wood pellets and briquettes that are untreated wood in accordance with Number 31 paragraph 1 letters a and b may only be commercially imported or placed on the market if:
1Gaseous fuels means:
2All other gases shall be regarded as waste gases, which must meet the requirements specified in Annex 2 Number 71 during combustion. This also applies in particular to landfill gases which do not meet the requirements specified in paragraph 1 letter e.
The sulphur content of gases as specified in Number 41 letters a and b must not exceed 190 mg/kg.
