(3) For item 10 of the table in subsection (1), if biodiesel contains C‑17‑methyl esters, the ester content may be measured by using the modified procedure set out in S. Schober, I. Seidl and M. Mittelbach, ‘Ester content evaluation in biodiesel from animal fats and lauric oils’, European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, vol 108, issue 4, 2006, pp 309–314.
