5. Title, number of pages and language(s) of the notified document:  Ordinance 
transposing Directive 2014/94/EU and amending and adapting further immission control 
regulations  
6. Description of content:  With regard to  the Ordinance on the Quality and Labelling of 
Fuels (10th BImSchV), t his ordinance sets - in respect of road vehicles, non -road mobile 
machinery (including inland waterway vessels when not at sea), agricultural and forestry 
tractors, and recreational craf t when not at sea - technical specifications for fuels to be 
used with positive ignition and compression -ignition engines and labelling requirements 
for fuels. The ordinance applies especially to petrol, diesel fuels, gas oil, biodiesel, ethanol 
fuel, liqu id petroleum gas, natural or bio gas as fuel, vegetable oil fuel, hydrogen and fuel 
oil. G/TBT/N/DEU/17

  The ordinance will specify the labelling of fuels according to the relevant European 
standard.  
Quality requirements for hydrogen have been implemented in the ordinance.  
The quality requirements for transport fuels are updated to the latest state of the art by 
citing the latest version of DIN or CEN standards in the Ordinance on the Quality and 
Labelling of Fuels.  
The Ordinance on Biological Waste Treatment Plan ts (30th BImSchV) lays down specific 
material requirements for the facilities for the biological treatment of waste subject to 
approval under immission control legislation.  
7. Objective and rationale, including the nature of urgent problems where 
applica ble: The draft ordinance of the 10th BImSchV aims to implement the requirements 
of the Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure with 
regard to user information and the purity of hydrogen. In light of the increasing diversi ty 
in the type of fuels for motorised vehicles coupled with on -going growth in the road 
mobility of citizens across the Union, the directive seeks member states to provide vehicle 
users with clear and easy -to-understand information on the fuels available a t refuelling 
stations and on the compatibility of their vehicle with different fuels or recharging points 
on the Union market. This necessitates an adaptation of the 10th Ordinance on the 
Implementation of the Federal Immission Control Act (Ordinance on th e Quality and 
Labelling of Fuels, 10th BImSchV).  
The quality requirements for transport fuels are updated to the latest state of the art by 
citing the latest version of DIN or CEN standards in the Ordinance on the Quality and 
Labelling of Fuels.  
The amend ments to the 30th BImSchV serve to transpose the implementing decision (EU) 
2018/1147 of the Commission of 10 August 2018 concerning conclusions on the Best 
Available Techniques (BAT) according to Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Union 
Parliament and C ouncil for Waste Management. ; Protection of human health or safety;
