(MOC Requirements)
Other detailed testing requirements are intended for process start-up and MOC, but are applied for each
batch for annexes A2-A5.

D7566 Permits Blending Up to 50% with Existing Annexes
Each of these blend components
underwent extensive D4054 testing and
evaluation

Proposed D7566 Generic Annex
∗ Not Limited to Specific Conversion Pathway or Specific Feedstock
∗ Producer NOT Required to Negotiate D4054 Process∗ But Blend % Limited to 5 – 10%∗ True “commodity” Specification

D7566 Generic Annex Concept
∗ Some Concerns:∗ Improved Test Methods Required
∗ Hydrocarbon Composition (D2425)∗ Oxygenates (at very low detectability level) ∗ Hydrocarbon Molecular Class Distribution/Limits∗ C Number Distribution∗ GC x GC Not Yet Standardized∗ Others?
∗ Tracking/Monitoring of Producers?∗ Any Producer Can Make Fuel Provided it Meets Generic
