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.

About the National Biodiesel Accreditation Commission:

Commissioners represent wide scale of interested parties

Nominated by the NBB President, and approved by the NBB Board of Directors

Although committee of NBB, NBAC has full authority for design and implementation of BQ-9000

Developed BQ-9000 as it stands today

Responsible for on-going improvements to BQ-9000

TWO 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.

ACCREDITED 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

CERTIFIED 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.
