ANNEX

The following paragraphs are added to the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 3199/93:
'
For every 100 litres of ethyl alcohol:


 5 litres denaturing methanol,
 0,5 litre mineral naptha (known as kerosene oil),
 2 cc (cubic centimetres) methylene blue (methyl violate).

“Denaturing methanol” means either:


((a)) pure methyl alcohol to which has been added not less than 1 % by volume of pyridine,
or
((b)) wood naptha to which has been added not less than 0,25 % by volume of pyridine.

Per hectolitre of pure alcohol:


1.. 
— 1 gram denatonium benzoate,
— 0,2 litres thiophene,
— 1 litre methylethylketone (butanone), and
— 0,2 grams methylene blue (CI basic blue 52015);
2.. 
— 0,4 litres solvent naphta,
— 0,2 litres kerosine, and
— 0,1 litres technical petrol.

Per hectolitre of ethyl alcohol:


1.. 2 litres methylethylketone and 3 litres methylisobutylketone;
2.. 2 litres acetone and 3 litres methylisobutylketone;
3.. 3 litres acetone and 2 grams of denatonium benzoate.

Alcoholic products qualify as denatured alcohol (produced by denaturing), if it contains, by reference to its pure ethyl alcohol quantity, at least:


((a)) 2 % by weight of methyl-ethyl-ketone, 3 % by weight of methyl-isobuthyl-ketone and 0,001 % by weight of denatonium benzoate;
or
((b)) 1 % by weight of methyl-ethyl-ketone and 0,001 % by weight of denatonium-benzoate;
or
((c)) 2 % by weight of isopropyl-alcohol, 1 % by weight of t-butyl alcohol, and 0,001 % by weight of denatonium-benzoate;

and its alcoholic strength by volume is not less than 92 % vol.

Only chemicals can qualify as denaturing chemicals if their quality is certified with analysis certificates.

Minimum amount per 100 litres of spirit:


1.. mix of following substances:

— isopropyl 9 litres,
— acetone 1 litre,
— methylene blue or thymol blue or crystallic violet 0,4 grams;
2.. benzine or petroleum minimum 5 litres and maximum 7 litres;
3.. mix of following substances:

— methylethylketone 2 litres,
— methylisobutylketone 3 litres;
4.. mix of following substances:

— acetone or isopropyl 3 litres,
— denatonium benzoate 2 grams;
5.. ethyl-acetate 10 litres.


Kind (sort) of ethyl alcohol Denaturants Amount of the denaturants, per hectolitre pure alcohol
Ethyl alcohol or aldehyde fraction of ethyl alcohol, or distilled aldehyde fraction of ethyl alcohol Acetone and denatonium benzoate 3 litres2 grams

Mineralised methylated spirits


 Base:
 90 % vol. ethanol,
 9,5 % vol. wood naptha, and
 0,5 % vol. crude pyridine.
 To each 1 000 litres of which is added:
— 3,75 litres of mineral naptha (petroleum oil), and
— 1,50 ppm of methyl violet.

Per hectolitre pure alcohol:


1.. 0,75 litre methylethylketone, consisting of:

— 95 to 96 % by weight of methylethylketone,
— 2,5 to 3 % by weight of methylisopropylketone,
— 1,5 to 2 % by weight of ethylisoamylketone (5-methyl-3-heptanone),
together with 0,25 litres of pyridine bases;
2.. one litre methylethylketone, consisting of:

— 95 to 96 % by weight of methylethylketone,
— 2,5 to 3 % by weight of methylisopropylketone,
— 1,5 to 2 % by weight of ethylisoamylketone (5-methyl-3-heptanone),
together with 1 gram denatonium benzoate.

Per one hectolitre pure alcohol (1 hl a.) add:


((a)) 
 2 litres of methylethylketone,
 3 litres of methylisobutylketone,
 1 gram of denatonium benzoate, and
 0,2 grams methylene blue;
((b)) 
 1,5 litres of technical petrol (special spirit),
 1,5 litres of kerosene, and
 2 grams of denatonium benzoate.

Hectolitre pure alcohol (hl a.) is alcohol at the temperature of 20 °C.

Per hectolitre of pure ethyl alcohol:


— 1 580 grams isopropyl alcohol, and
— 790 grams tert-butyl alcohol, and
— 0,79 grams denatonium benzoate.
