HOME...
The National Biodiesel Accreditation Program is a cooperative and voluntary program for the accreditation of producers and marketers of biodiesel fuel called BQ-9000®. The program is a unique combination of the ASTM standard for biodiesel, ASTM D 6751, and a quality systems program that includes storage, sampling, testing, blending, shipping, distribution, and fuel management practices.

BQ-9000® is open to any biodiesel manufacturer, marketer or distributor of biodiesel and biodiesel blends in the United States and Canada.

CATEGORIES OF CONFIDENCE...

BQ-9000® helps companies improve their fuel testing and greatly reduce any chance of producing or distributing inadequate fuel. To receive accreditation, companies must pass a rigorous review and inspection of their quality control processes by an independent auditor. This ensures that quality control is fully implemented.

BQ-9000® PRODUCER
This category is for companies that produce biodiesel fuel to the ASTM D 6751 standard. The program ensures a production company is using a system for monitoring the quality of their biodiesel, including:

  • Sampling
  • Testing
  • Storage
  • Retain Samples
  • Shipping
BQ-9000® MARKETER
This category is for distribution companies who sell biodiesel and biodiesel blends. This is an important designation, because proper handling of biodiesel is as critical to fuel quality as proper production.
