 For the purposes of this article, the following definitions shall apply:

(a) “Biodiesel” means a fuel comprised of mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats, designated B100, and meeting the requirements of ASTM International D-6751, formerly the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D-6751.

(b) “Biodiesel blend” means a blend of biodiesel with petroleum-based diesel fuel, designated BXX, where XX represents the volume of percentage of biodiesel fuel in the blend.

13454.

 (a) Biodiesel used as a blend stock shall meet the specifications in the most recent version of ASTM D-6751.

(b) Biodiesel blends shall meet the following requirements:

(1) Finished blends B99 and below shall meet the specifications in ASTM D-975.

(2) Finished blends B99 and below which do not meet the specifications in ASTM D-975 shall be deemed eligible to qualify as developmental engine fuels under Section 13405 without submission of an application to the department, provided subdivisions (b) and (c) of Section 13405 are complied with, and reporting requirements of the department are complied with.

(c) This section shall become inoperative when pertinent fuel specifications are established by a recognized consensus organization or standards writing organization, such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) or the Society of Automobile Engineers (SAE). Upon the establishment of specifications, the department shall adopt them by reference, in accordance with Section 13450, except that no specification shall be less stringent than what is required by any other provision of state law.
