European foreword
This document (EN 15692:2021) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 19 “Gaseous and
liquid fuels, lubricants and related products of petroleum, synthetic and biological origin”, the secretariat
of which is held by NEN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by January 2022, and conflicting national standards shall
be withdrawn at the latest by January 2022.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 15692:2009.
In comparison with the previous edition, the following technical modifications have been made:
— The original document was prepared by CEN/TC 19’s Ethanol Task Force under its Working Group
21 and is based on ISO 760 [1]. It is developed as an alternative to EN 15489 [2], delivering a method
more widely used in the alcohol and beverage industry environment.
— The test method has been revised in terms of its precision and scope. A second interlaboratory study
(ILS) in 2010 [5] confirmed the application to automotive ethanol (E85) fuel. Use of the method over
time, especially in proficiency testing programmes, gave questions around whether the precision in
the original document. When CEN/TC 19/WG 36 was requested to study the ILS reports, the
recalculated precision results did not reflect the published precision.
— The newly calculated precision is lower than the one published and the statistics allow introducing a
constant reproducibility for the determination of water content in ethanol. The test method lower
limit could remain at 0,05 % (whereas the lowest sample mean was 0,02 %). So the scope range has
not been changed, but the precision calculations have.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North
Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United
Kingdom.

water content
content of water determined by potentiometric Karl Fischer procedure as given in this document
4 Principle
A weighed test portion is injected into the titration vessel of a potentiometric Karl Fischer apparatus. The
water present is titrated to a potentiometric end point using Karl Fischer reagent. Iodine (I ), with
2
presence of anhydride sulfur (SO ), of methanol (CH OH) and of an appropriate nitrogen base (RN), is
2 3
introduced for the Karl Fischer reaction. Based on the stoichiometry of the reaction, one mole of iodine
reacts with one mole of water.
The reaction can be expressed as follows:
CH OH + SO + RN → [RNH]SO CH
3 2 3 3
H O +I + [RNH]SO CH + 2RN → [RNH]SO CH +2[RNH]I
