Biodiesel has a number of standards for its quality.(Main article: Biodiesel)
The European standard for biodiesel is EN 14214, which is translated into the respective national standards for each country that forms the CEN (European Committee for Standardization) area e.g., for the United Kingdom, BS EN 14214 and for Germany DIN EN 14214. It may be used outside the CEN area as well. The main difference that exists between EN 14214 standards of different countries is the national annex detailing climate related requirements of biodiesel in different CEN member countries.

| - Biodiesel has a number of standards for its quality.(Main article: Biodiesel)
The European standard for biodiesel is EN 14214, which is translated into the respective national standards for each country that forms the CEN (European Committee for Standardization) area e.g., for the United Kingdom, BS EN 14214 and for Germany DIN EN 14214. It may be used outside the CEN area as well. The main difference that exists between EN 14214 standards of different countries is the national annex detailing climate related requirements of biodiesel in different CEN member countries. Other international standards published by ASTM International include:
* D6751-08 Specification for Biodiesel Fuel Blend Stock (B100) for Middle Distillate Fuels
* D975-08a Specification for Diesel Fuel Oils (on and off-road applications)
* D396-08b Specification for Fuel Oils (home heating and boiler applications)
* D7467-08 Specification for Diesel Fuel Oil, Biodiesel Blend (B6 to B20) There are also DIN standards for three different varieties of biodiesel, which are made of different oils:
* RME (rapeseed methyl ester, according to DIN E 51606)
* PME (vegetable methyl ester, purely vegetable products, according to DIN E 51606)
* FME (fat methyl ester, vegetable and animal products, according to DIN V 51606) The National Standards of Canada for biodiesel are published by the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB):
* CAN/CGSB-3.520 Diesel Fuel Containing Low Levels of Biodiesel (B1 - B5)
* CAN/CGSB-3.522 Diesel Fuel Containing Biodiesel (B6-B20)
* CAN/CGSB-3.524 Biodiesel (B100) for Blending in Middle Distillate Fuels The standards ensure that the following important factors in the fuel production process are satisfied:
* Acid value
* Complete reaction.
* Removal of glycerin.
* Removal of catalyst.
* Removal of alcohol.
* Absence of free fatty acids.
* Low sulfur content.
* Cold Filter Plugging point
* Cloud Point Basic industrial tests to determine whether the products conform to the standards typically include gas chromatography, a test that verifies only the more important of the variables above. Tests that are more complete are more expensive. Fuel meeting the quality standards is very non-toxic, with a toxicity rating (LD50) of greater than 50 mL/kg. (en)
