Since 1 August 2017, Europe has imposed a very precise denaturing procedure:
+ 3 liters of IPA (Isopropyl alcohol / CAS No. 67-63-0)
+ 3 liters MEK (methyl ethyl ketone (butanone) / CAS no 78-93-3)
+ 1 g of Denatium benzoate (Denatonium benzoate / CAS No. 3734-33-6) must be used per hectolitre of ethanol (pure alcohol).
