What Is Diesel EN590-10PPM?
EN 590 is the European standard that defines the physical and chemical properties automotive diesel must meet. The “10PPM” designation refers to the maximum sulphur content: 10 mg/kg (10 parts per million), which is classed as “sulphur-free” diesel and has applied to European road diesel since 2009.
Low sulphur content reduces sulphur oxide emissions and helps protect the exhaust after-treatment systems fitted to modern diesel engines, such as particulate filters and catalytic converters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What does EN590-10PPM mean?
EN 590 is the European specification for automotive diesel, and 10PPM indicates a maximum sulphur content of 10 mg/kg (10 parts per million), known as ultra-low sulphur or “sulphur-free” diesel.
What is the difference between EN590 10ppm and 50ppm diesel?
The difference is the maximum sulphur content. 10ppm diesel is the cleaner, lower-sulphur grade, and is better suited to modern engines fitted with particulate filters and catalytic converters.
What cetane number does EN590 diesel have?
EN 590 requires a minimum cetane number of 51 and a minimum cetane index of 46. Actual values depend on the product supplied.
Can you supply diesel in bulk?
Yes. We can discuss bulk road tanker, ISO tank, and larger cargo supply depending on your volume, location, and agreed trade terms. Contact us with your requirements.
What documents are provided with each consignment?
