Note

Assuring compliance with ASTM D6751 is one of the goals of a BQ-9000 program administered by the National Biodiesel Accreditation Commission. This program includes the Commission's accreditation of producers, and certification of marketers – following a successful formal review and audit of the capacity and commitment of an applicant to produce or market biodiesel fuel that complies with ASTM D6751. The department will accept this accreditation and certification as adequate assurance of meeting the requirements specified in ASTM D6751.
