In cases of dispute, the procedures for resolving the dispute and interpretation of the results based on test method precision, described in EN ISO 4259 shall be used.
                                     3 In cases of national dispute concerning sulphur content, either EN ISO 20846 or EN ISO 20884 shall be called up similar to the reference in the national annex of EN 228.
                                     4 The actual sulphur content of the fuel used for the Type I Test shall be reported.
                                     5 The unleaded petrol content can be determined as 100 minus the sum of the percentage content of water and alcohols.
                                     6 There shall be no intentional addition of compounds containing phosphorus, iron, manganese, or lead to this reference fuel.
                                     7 Ethanol to meet specification of EN 15376 is the only oxygenate that shall be intentionally added to this reference fuel.

  1 The values quoted in the specifications are "true values". In establishment of their limit values the terms of ISO 4259 Petroleum products – Determination and application of precision data in relation to methods of test have been applied and in fixing a minimum value, a minimum difference of 2R above zero has been taken into account; in fixing a maximum and minimum value, the minimum difference is 4R (R = reproducibility).
   Notwithstanding this measure, which is necessary for technical reasons, the manufacturer of fuels shall nevertheless aim at a zero value where the stipulated maximum value is 2R and at the mean value in the case of quotations of maximum and minimum limits.
