标准2025CEN颁布了一项新的欧洲标准,该标准为液体和气体燃料提供统一图例。在根据欧盟的要求，2015年CEN开始着手制定EN16942标准，并将于2017年4月由CEN成员颁布。这项标准将会告知欧盟国家内外的顾客加油站的燃料是否与他们的车型匹配。这也正如2014/94/EU指令第七条关于替代燃油基础设施的配置。由于市场上燃料种类越来越多且拥有车辆的民众也日益增加，以简单且直接的方式告知车主加油站里的液体和气体燃料的种类以及适合各类车辆的燃料种类迫在眉睫。
2014/94/EU指令第七条明确了这项需求，并要求各成员国明确告知消费者市场现有的燃料与消费者拥有的车辆之间的匹配度。根据指令的规定，发布的声明必须要基于现有欧洲标准的条款。
EN16942'燃料 – 车辆兼容性的识别 – 消费者信息的图形表达'将会促进指令第七条的实施。它明确规定了贴在加油站和车辆上的标识。这项标准明确规定标识的大小、形状、颜色和张贴地点，即加油站和车辆。
“EN16942的出台突出强调了公私合作的力量，这一共识所取得的成果正是将标准视为了企业和消费者双方利益而对市场需求做出及时调整，”CEN和CENELEC秘书长Elena Santiago Cid说道。
这项标准由CEN441技术委员会“燃油标签”制定。该技术委员会的秘书处由荷兰标准化协会（NEN）承担，以及欧盟和其他利益相关方共同参与制定。EN16942的成功推行表明了燃料生产商、车主、加油站设备生产商、政府当局、消费者代表以及其他欧洲利益相关人之间的有效合作，在一年多的时间内就在这项标准上达成一致意见。
Consumers filling their tanks with the right fuel thanks to new EN!
CEN has approved a new European Standard providing harmonized graphic symbols for liquid and gaseous fuels. The standard EN 16942, which will be published by all CEN members by end of April 2017, was developed following a request from the European Commission in 2015. This EN will provide consumers, inside and outside their countries, with information on the compatibility between their vehicles and the fuels available in filling stations as established in Article 7 of the Directive 2014/94/EU "on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure".
The growing diversity of fuels available on the market indicated an increasing need to provide the rising number of vehicle users with clear and straightforward information on liquid and gaseous fuels sold at filling stations and on which fuel is suitable for their vehicles.
Article 7 of the Directive recognises this need and requires the Member States to ensure that relevant, consistent and clear information is provided to consumers on the compatibility of their vehicles with the fuels placed on the market. According to the Directive, when available, this information should be based on the provisions of existing European Standards.
EN 16942 ‘Fuels – Identification of vehicle compatibility – Graphical expression for consumer information’ will support the implementation of Article 7 of the Directive. It specifies a graphical symbol placed on both the refuelling point and the vehicle. The standard stipulates the size, shape, colour and the location where the symbol needs to be placed on the refuelling points and on the vehicle.
“The development of EN 16942 highlights the strength of the Public Private Partnership with the production of a consensus based standard as a timely response to market needs for the benefit of both businesses and consumers.” Elena Santiago Cid, Director General CEN and CENELEC
The standard has been developed by the CEN Technical Committee 441 ‘Fuel labelling’, of which the secretariat is provided by the Dutch Standardization Institute (NEN), in cooperation with the Commission services and stakeholders. The acceptance of EN 16942 demonstrates the effective cooperation between fuel producers, vehicle manufacturers, filling-station equipment manufacturers, public authorities, consumer representatives and other European stakeholders in reaching a consensus on the standard in just over a year.
