EN590

The European ultra-low-sulphur diesel (ULSD) specification, widely used as a global benchmark.

EN590 is the European specification for automotive diesel — max 10 ppm sulphur (ULSD), cetane ≥51, density 820-845 kg/m³. It's the de-facto global benchmark for ULSD.

Sub-spec "EN590" from unknown origins is a frequent scam keyword — see Virgin D2.
