ACEA 2016 Brochure gives an excellent resource for all things ACEA. A full list of the sequences and the test methods required. Also gives some good information on how the program works.
API 2016 Brochure essentially is a reproduction of the API 1509 - although a little cleaner than the current docs from the API because of the recent revisions. Also includes an updated SAE J300 with SAE 8, 12, 16 definitions - in case you wanted to see them.

Interesting that ACEA 2016 can find space for FIVE different low SAPs categories but allocating a separate spec for GDI engines is just not possible. It seems ludicrous to me that engine oils for all 'normal' gasoline engines (non-turbo, naturally aspirated, MPI like mine) will be impacted by the vagaries of GDI and the almost certain hike in cost that the new specs will impose.
