Abstract:

In Europe, CEN/TC 19 WG21 has initiated a new work item for a technical report and possible revision to EN228 addressing “harmful chemicals” in petrol.  The chemical compounds addressed by CEN specifically are sec- butyl acetate, aniline and its derivatives such N-Methylaniline, N-Ethylaniline and di-Methylaniline.  This paper will describe the European initiative and implications for other jurisdictions.  A simple modification of the VUV Analyzer platform using ASTM D8071 is presented allowing a fast, automated screening of these harmful chemicals.
