Overview
ISO 8217:2024 is the seventh edition of the international specification for marine fuels used in diesel engines and boilers. It defines general requirements, test methods and fuel categories for fuels derived from petroleum, synthetic, renewable or recycled sources, including fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) and permitted blends. The standard applies to fuels as supplied prior to onboard fuel handling (storage, settling, centrifuging, filtration, heating) and can also be used for similar stationary diesel engines.
Key topics and requirements
- Fuel types covered: hydrocarbons from petroleum, synthetic/renewable hydrocarbons indistinguishable from petroleum, FAME (where permitted), and blends.
- Fuel categories:
- Seven distillate categories (e.g., DMX, DMA, DMB, DMZ, DFA, DFB, DFZ).
- Multiple residual fuel categories (RMA, RME, RMG, RMK, RF) with classifications for sulfur ≤ 0.50% and > 0.50% by mass, and categories addressing FAME content.
- Test methods and properties specified (examples included in the standard):
- Density, CCAI (ignition characteristic), sulfur content, flash point, hydrogen sulfide, acid number, oxidation stability.
- Total sediment (existent, accelerated, potential), FAME content, cold-flow properties (pour point/cloud point/CFPP), appearance/water content, lubricity.
- Contaminants and markers: vanadium, sodium, aluminium + silicon, organic chlorides, unrefined used lubricating oil.
- Energy properties: specific energy, net heat of combustion (reporting required for distillate fuels), cetane index/number.
- New/updated requirements in 2024 edition:
- Reporting of FAME content for distillate fuels (allowing up to 100% where permitted).
- Minimum cetane number and oxidation stability requirements for DF grades.
- Additional annexes and revised terms, tables and clauses (including specific clauses for 100% FAME and paraffinic diesel).
Practical applications and users
ISO 8217:2024 is used to:
- Define bunkering and procurement specifications for ship owners and operators.
- Guide fuel testing laboratories and fuel testing programs for compliance verification.
- Inform engine designers, manufacturers and fuel treatment equipment suppliers about compatible fuel properties.
- Support classification societies, regulators and port/state authorities in enforcement and fuel conformity assessment.
- Aid fuel suppliers and blenders in formulating products to meet global marine fuel categories.
Typical users: ship operators, bunkering suppliers, testing labs, engine and fuel treatment manufacturers, classification societies, regulators.
Related standards and regulatory context
- ISO 8217 refers to fuel classification guidance in ISO 8216-1.
- Fuel safety and regulatory constraints (flash point, sulfur limits) interact with SOLAS and MARPOL Annex VI; users must ensure compliance with applicable regional and statutory emission requirements.
Keywords: ISO 8217:2024, marine fuels, FAME, distillate fuels, residual fuels, sulfur content, fuel specifications, marine diesel engines, fuel testing.

Introduction
This document was prepared in cooperation with ship owners, ship operators, shipping associations,
national standards bodies, classification societies, fuel testing services, engine designers, fuel treatment
equipment manufacturers, marine fuel suppliers, fuel additive suppliers and the petroleum industry to meet
the requirements for marine fuels supplied on a world-wide basis for consumption on board ships.
The increased focus on environmental concerns and legislation to address them is leading to a transition in
the nature of marine fuels. There is a shift away from marine fuels supplied from traditional oil products
derived from the processing of petroleum crude, and a shift towards oil products derived from synthetic and
renewable, recycled or alternative sources. This document takes into consideration the diverse nature of
these fuels and incorporates a number of categories of distillate and residual fuels, even though it is possible
that not all categories are available in every supply location. This document facilitates the transition,
however sustainability aspects and accounting are not within the scope.
The categories of fuel in this document have been classified according to ISO 8216-1 and include the distillate fuel
categories DMX, DMA, DMB, DMZ, DFA, DFB, DFZ and the residual fuel categories RMA, RME, RMG, RMK and RF.
In the instances where a fuel, which does not conform exactly to any of these distillate or residual fuel
categories, is offered to a purchaser, the fuel characteristics or limits can be agreed between the buyer and
the seller, and defined by both a category of fuel given by this document, together with any different or
additional fuel characteristics or limits, as necessary to adequately define that fuel.
This document specifies the permitted minimum flash point limits following the provisions given in the
[3]
SOLAS Convention.
[4]
MARPOL Annex VI, which controls air pollution from ships, includes a requirement that either the fuel
does not exceed a specified maximum sulfur content, or an approved equivalent alternative means is
used. During the lifetime of this document, regional and/or national authorities can introduce their own
local emission requirements, which can impact the allowable sulfur content. It is the buyer’s and the user’s
responsibility to establish which statutory requirements are necessary to meet and specify on that basis the
corresponding maximum fuel sulfur content to the seller.

Testing of the fuel shall be carried out in accordance with the test methods given in Table 1, Table 2, Table 3
or Table 4, as appropriate.
5 General requirements
5.1 The fuel as supplied shall be homogeneous and conform to the characteristics and limits given in
Table 1, Table 2, Table 3 or Table 4, as appropriate, when tested in accordance with the methods specified.
The test methods and references listed in Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall apply.
The fuel composition shall consist of:
— predominantly hydrocarbons from petroleum sources;
or
— hydrocarbons, with molecular structures that are indistinguishable from petroleum hydrocarbons,
derived from:
— synthetic or renewable sources such as paraffinic diesel e.g. hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), gas to
liquid (GTL), biomass to liquid (BTL) and power to liquid (PtL);
— co-processing of renewable or recycled feedstock at refineries with petroleum feedstock;
or
— fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) as defined in this document;
or
— a mixture of the above.
With regards to FAME, there are grades in this document for fuels not including FAME and for fuels including
an agreed percentage of FAME.
For fuels not including FAME:
— The DMA, DMZ, DMB and RM grades shall not include FAME other than a de minimis level. In the context
of this document, de minimis amount of FAME means an amount not exceeding approximately 0,5 %.
DMX shall be free of FAME.
NOTE See Annex A for further information.
For fuels with an agreed FAME content:
— the DF and RF grades are fuels including an amount of FAME where the FAME used for blending of the
fuel shall be in accordance with the requirements of EN 14214, except for
a) sulfur content, which is a statutory requirement;
b) cloud point (CP) and cold filter plugging point (CFPP) requirements as these are covered by the final
marine blend specifications in Table 1 of this document;
or ASTM D6751, except for sulfur content.
— The FAME content of the fuel (percentage by mass or volume) and the FAME standards (EN 14214 or
ASTM D6751) shall be reported prior to the time of the delivery and in line with original equipment
manufacturer’s guidance. In the event that other national FAME standards are offered, see Annex A.
5.2 The fuel shall be free from any materials, including added substances and chemical species, at a
concentration that causes the fuel to be unacceptable for use by way of:
a) jeopardizing the safety of the ship; or
b) adversely affecting the performance of the machinery; or
c) being harmful to personnel.
NOTE See Annex B for information on the composition of marine fuels.
5.3 The fuel shall be free from inorganic acids and organic chlorides (chlorinated hydrocarbons).
NOTE 1 See 6.6 and 6.17.
NOTE 2 See Annex B for information on the composition of marine fuels.
5.4 Subject to the requirements of 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, additives that improve some aspects of the fuel’s
characteristics or performance are permitted.
6 Test methods
6.1 Density
In case of disagreement concerning density, all parties shall agree, prior to additional testing, upon the test
method to be used.
6.2 CCAI
The calculated carbon aromaticity index (CCAI) shall be as specified in Table 2, Table 3 or Table 4.
[6]
The CCAI value, I , is calculated in accordance with Lewis, et al. , using Formula (1):
CCA
T +273
I =−ρν81−⋅141 lg lg(,+085)l−⋅483 g (1)
[]
CCA 15
323
where
ρ is the density at 15 °C, expressed in kilograms per cubic metre;
ν is the kinematic viscosity at temperature T, expressed in square millimetres per second;
T is the temperature, expressed in degrees Celsius, at which the kinematic viscosity is determined.
Density, ρ , and viscosity, v, shall be determined in accordance with the test methods specified in Tables 2, 3 or 4.
NOTE 1 See Annex C for information on ignition characteristics of residual marine fuels.
NOTE 2 For engines and/or applications where the ignition quality is known to be particularly critical, Annex C
provides a basis for buyers and sellers of residual fuels to agree on tighter ignition quality characteristics.
NOTE 3 For some fuels when blending at or close to the maximum density, the CCAI limit restricts the combination
of density and viscosity.
NOTE 4 CCAI was originally developed for petroleum-derived fuels. As such, its applicability to bio-residual marine
fuels and the density/viscosity correlation to ignition performance has not been established.
6.3 Sulfur
Table 1, Table 3 and Table 4 do not set sulfur limits, since the buyer is responsible for specifying the maximum
sulfur content when ordering the fuel, based on the regulatory requirement applicable to where the fuel will
be used or any existing exhaust gas cleaning system requirement. For fuels ordered to Table 2, the buyer
shall still specify the required sulfur content to the seller.
Sulfur test precision for fuels containing FAME has not been established for the test methods specified in
ISO 8754 and ISO 14596. The sulfur test precision for distillate fuels containing FAME has been established
for the test method specified in ASTM D4294.
The reference test method shall be as specified in ISO 8754 for distillate marine (DM) and residual marine
(RM) fuels, in ASTM D4294 for distillate fuels including FAME (DF), and in ASTM D4294 or ASTM D2622 for
residual fuels including FAME (RF).
In case of disagreement concerning sulfur content, all parties shall agree, prior to additional testing, upon
the same sulfur certified reference material, and for RF grades upon the reference test method.
6.4 Flash point
[3]
The International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) sets the flash point limit for all fuels at
60 °C minimum. An exception to this is DMX, which has a flash point limit of 43 °C minimum.
Fuels have the potential to produce a flammable atmosphere in a tank headspace, even when stored at a
temperature below the measured flash point. Appropriate precautions are necessary, therefore, to ensure
the safety of the ship and personnel. Further information and advice on precautionary measures are given in
References [7] to [9].
The flash point is not a physical constant, but is dependent on the test method, the apparatus and the
procedure used.
The flash point for fuels in Table 1 shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2719, Procedure A. For 100 %
FAME, ISO 2719, Procedure C shall be applied. The flash point of fuels in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4 shall be
determined in accordance with ISO 2719, Procedure B.
6.5 Hydrogen sulfide
The reference test method shall be IP 570, Procedure A.
WARNING — Hydrogen sulfide (H S) is a highly toxic gas. Exposure to any significant vapour
concentrations is hazardous and, in extreme cases, can be fatal. It is critical that ship owners,
operators and other responsible parties continue to maintain appropriate safety practices designed
to protect the crew and others who can be exposed to H S vapours.
NOTE See Annex D for further information.
6.6 Acid number
The fuel shall be free of inorganic acids. The acid number of DM and RM fuels shall be determined in
accordance with ASTM D664, Procedure A. The acid number of DF and RF fuels shall be tested in accordance
with ASTM D664, Procedure B.
In case of dispute concerning acid number, all parties shall agree, prior to additional testing, upon which
procedure of ASTM D664 shall be used.
NOTE See Annex E for further information.
6.7 Oxidation stability
The oxidation stability shall be as specified in Table 1.
For fuels not including FAME or containing less than 2 % of FAME by volume, oxidation stability shall be
tested in accordance with ISO 12205.
For DF grades, oxidation stability shall be tested in accordance with EN 15751.
NOTE See Annex A for further information.
6.8 Total sediment
6.8.1 Existent total sediment
If the appearance of DMB or DFB is assessed as not clear and bright (see 6.11), the total sediment by hot
filtration, typically called existent total sediment (TSE) shall be determined in accordance with the test
method ISO 10307-1.
For the fuels listed in Table 2 and Table 3, the existent total sediment shall be reported.
NOTE The International Council on Combustion Engines (CIMAC) has developed a guideline regarding the
[10]
interpretation of total sediment test results.
6.8.2 Accelerated and potential total sediment
For the fuels listed in Table 2 and Table 4, statistical analysis of data gathered since 2020 on residual type
very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) and high sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) shows that HSFO are more sensitive to
chemical ageing whereas VLSFO with viscosity typically below 200 mm /s (200 cSt) at 50 °C are sensitive to
both thermal and chemical ageing, due to the different nature of the fuels.
For fuels in Table 3, there is insufficient data at the time of writing to assess the sensitivity of bio-residual
marine fuels to thermal versus chemical ageing.
Therefore, the following applies:
— For the fuels listed in Tables 2 and 3 only potential total sediment (TSP) shall be used.
— Accelerated total sediment (TSA) shall be reported for all fuels listed in Tables 2 and 3.
— For the fuels listed in Table 4, either of the standard procedures for ageing in ISO 10307-2 can be used: the
TSA or TSP test. The reference test method for the fuels listed in Table 4 shall be the TSP in accordance
with ISO 10307-2.
NOTE 1 See Annex H for information on stability of residual fuels.
NOTE 2 The International Council on Combustion Engines (CIMAC) has developed a guideline regarding the
[10]
interpretation of total sediment test results.
6.9 Fatty acid methyl ester(s)
The test methods specified in ASTM D7963 and IP 631 are applicable to all DM and RM, DF and RF grades.
The test method specified in EN 14078 is not applicable to RM and RF grades at the

Introduction
This document was prepared in cooperation with ship owners, ship operators, shipping associations,
national standards bodies, classification societies, fuel testing services, engine designers, fuel treatment
equipment manufacturers, marine fuel suppliers, fuel additive suppliers and the petroleum industry to meet
the requirements for marine fuels supplied on a world-wide basis for consumption on board ships.
The increased focus on environmental concerns and legislation to address them is leading to a transition in
the nature of marine fuels. There is a shift away from marine fuels supplied from traditional oil products
derived from the processing of petroleum crude, and a shift towards oil products derived from synthetic and
renewable, recycled or alternative sources. This document takes into consideration the diverse nature of
these fuels and incorporates a number of categories of distillate and residual fuels, even though it is possible
that not all categories are available in every supply location. This document facilitates the transition,
however sustainability aspects and accounting are not within the scope.
The categories of fuel in this document have been classified according to ISO 8216-1 and include the distillate fuel
categories DMX, DMA, DMB, DMZ, DFA, DFB, DFZ and the residual fuel categories RMA, RME, RMG, RMK and RF.
In the instances where a fuel, which does not conform exactly to any of these distillate or residual fuel
categories, is offered to a purchaser, the fuel characteristics or limits can be agreed between the buyer and
the seller, and defined by both a category of fuel given by this document, together with any different or
additional fuel characteristics or limits, as necessary to adequately define that fuel.
This document specifies the permitted minimum flash point limits following the provisions given in the
[3]
SOLAS Convention.
[4]
MARPOL Annex VI, which controls air pollution from ships, includes a requirement that either the fuel
does not exceed a specified maximum sulfur content, or an approved equivalent alternative means is
used. During the lifetime of this document, regional and/or national authorities can introduce their own
local emission requirements, which can impact the allowable sulfur content. It is the buyer’s and the user’s
responsibility to establish which statutory requirements are necessary to meet and specify on that basis the
corresponding maximum fuel sulfur content to the seller.

1 Scope
This document in its entirety defines the general requirements and specifications for fuels used in marine
diesel engines and boilers, prior to onboard fuel handling (storage, settling, centrifuging, filtration, heating)
before use.
For the purposes of this document, the term “fuels” comprises of the following:
— hydrocarbons from petroleum crude oil, oil sands and shale oil;
— synthetic hydrocarbons, renewable hydrocarbons or hydrocarbons from recycled sources, with
molecular structures that are indistinguishable from petroleum hydrocarbons;
— fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), where permitted as specified in this document;
— blends of any of the above, where permitted as specified in this document.
The general requirements and specifications for fuels in this document can also be applied to fuels used in
stationary diesel engines of the same or similar type as those used for marine purposes.
This document specifies seven categories of distillate fuels, one of which is for diesel engines used for
emergency purposes. It also specifies four categories of residual fuels for sulfur content at or below
0,50 % by mass, five categories of residual fuels containing FAME and five categories of residual fuels for
sulfur content exceeding 0,50 % by mass.

4 Application and sampling
This document specifies the required properties for a fuel at the time and place of custody transfer, prior to
onboard handling and treatment.
NOTE Appropriate guidance about fuel treatment systems for diesel engines can be found in Reference [5].
Sampling of a fuel is an important part of the fuel’s quality verification and should be carried out in
accordance with ISO 13739 or an equivalent national standard. The sample shall be representative for the
entire quantity of fuel loaded onto the receiving ship and may be taken in any location agreed between the
parties.
Testing of the fuel shall be carried out in accordance with the test methods given in Table 1, Table 2, Table 3
or Table 4, as appropriate.
5 General requirements
5.1 The fuel as supplied shall be homogeneous and conform to the characteristics and limits given in
Table 1, Table 2, Table 3 or Table 4, as appropriate, when tested in accordance with the methods specified.
The test methods and references listed in Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 shall apply.
The fuel composition shall consist of:
— predominantly hydrocarbons from petroleum sources;
or
— hydrocarbons, with molecular structures that are indistinguishable from petroleum hydrocarbons,
derived from:
— synthetic or renewable sources such as paraffinic diesel e.g. hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), gas to
liquid (GTL), biomass to liquid (BTL) and power to liquid (PtL);
— co-processing of renewable or recycled feedstock at refineries with petroleum feedstock;
or
— fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) as defined in this document;
or
— a mixture of the above.
With regards to FAME, there are grades in this document for fuels not including FAME and for fuels including
an agreed percentage of FAME.
For fuels not including FAME:
— The DMA, DMZ, DMB and RM grades shall not include FAME other than a de minimis level. In the context
of this document, de minimis amount of FAME means an amount not exceeding approximately 0,5 %.
DMX shall be free of FAME.
NOTE See Annex A for further information.
For fuels with an agreed FAME content:
— the DF and RF grades are fuels including an amount of FAME where the FAME used for blending of the
fuel shall be in accordance with the requirements of EN 14214, except for
a) sulfur content, which is a statutory requirement;
b) cloud point (CP) and cold filter plugging point (CFPP) requirements as these are covered by the final
marine blend specifications in Table 1 of this document;
or ASTM D6751, except for sulfur content.
— The FAME content of the fuel (percentage by mass or volume) and the FAME standards (EN 14214 or
ASTM D6751) shall be reported prior to the time of the delivery and in line with original equipment
manufacturer’s guidance. In the event that other national FAME standards are offered, see Annex A.
5.2 The fuel shall be free from any materials, including added substances and chemical species, at a
concentration that causes the fuel to be unacceptable for use by way of:
a) jeopardizing the safety of the ship; or
b) adversely affecting the performance of the machinery; or
c) being harmful to personnel.
NOTE See Annex B for information on the composition of marine fuels.
5.3 The fuel shall be free from inorganic acids and organic chlorides (chlorinated hydrocarbons).
NOTE 1 See 6.6 and 6.17.
NOTE 2 See Annex B for information on the composition of marine fuels.
5.4 Subject to the requirements of 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, additives that improve some aspects of the fuel’s
characteristics or performance are permitted.
6 Test methods
6.1 Density
In case of disagreement concerning density, all parties shall agree, prior to additional testing, upon the test
method to be used.
6.2 CCAI
The calculated carbon aromaticity index (CCAI) shall be as specified in Table 2, Table 3 or Table 4.
[6]
The CCAI value, I , is calculated in accordance with Lewis, et al. , using Formula (1):
CCA
T +273
I =−ρν81−⋅141 lg lg(,+085)l−⋅483 g (1)
[]
CCA 15
323
where
ρ is the density at 15 °C, expressed in kilograms per cubic metre;
ν is the kinematic viscosity at temperature T, expressed in square millimetres per second;
T is the temperature, expressed in degrees Celsius, at which the kinematic viscosity is determined.
Density, ρ , and viscosity, v, shall be determined in accordance with the test methods specified in Tables 2, 3 or 4.
NOTE 1 See Annex C for information on ignition characteristics of residual marine fuels.
NOTE 2 For engines and/or applications where the ignition quality is known to be particularly critical, Annex C
provides a basis for buyers and sellers of residual fuels to agree on tighter ignition quality characteristics.
NOTE 3 For some fuels when blending at or close to the maximum density, the CCAI limit restricts the combination
of density and viscosity.
NOTE 4 CCAI was originally developed for petroleum-derived fuels. As such, its applicability to bio-residual marine
fuels and the density/viscosity correlation to ignition performance has not been established.
6.3 Sulfur
Table 1, Table 3 and Table 4 do not set sulfur limits, since the buyer is responsible for specifying the maximum
sulfur content when ordering the fuel, based on the regulatory requirement applicable to where the fuel will
be used or any existing exhaust gas cleaning system requirement. For fuels ordered to Table 2, the buyer
shall still specify the required sulfur content to the seller.
Sulfur test precision for fuels containing FAME has not been established for the test methods specified in
ISO 8754 and ISO 14596. The sulfur test precision for distillate fuels containing FAME has been established
for the test method specified in ASTM D4294.
The reference test method shall be as specified in ISO 8754 for distillate marine (DM) and residual marine
(RM) fuels, in ASTM D4294 for distillate fuels including FAME (DF), and in ASTM D4294 or ASTM D2622 for
residual fuels including FAME (RF).
In case of disagreement concerning sulfur content, all parties shall agree, prior to additional testing, upon
the same sulfur certified reference material, and for RF grades upon the reference test method.
6.4 Flash point
[3]
The International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) sets the flash point limit for all fuels at
60 °C minimum. An exception to this is DMX, which has a flash point limit of 43 °C minimum.
Fuels have the potential to produce a flammable atmosphere in a tank headspace, even when stored at a
temperature below the measured flash point. Appropriate precautions are necessary, therefore, to ensure
the safety of the ship and personnel. Further information and advice on precautionary measures are given in
References [7] to [9].
The flash point is not a physical constant, but is dependent on the test method, the apparatus and the
procedure used.
The flash point for fuels in Table 1 shall be determined in accordance with ISO 2719, Procedure A. For 100 %
FAME, ISO 2719, Procedure C shall be applied. The flash point of fuels in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4 shall be
determined in accordance with ISO 2719, Procedure B.
6.5 Hydrogen sulfide
The reference test method shall be IP 570, Procedure A.
WARNING — Hydrogen sulfide (H S) is a highly toxic gas. Exposure to any significant vapour
concentrations is hazardous and, in extreme cases, can be fatal. It is critical that ship owners,
operators and other responsible parties continue to maintain appropriate safety practices designed
to protect the crew and others who can be exposed to H S vapours.
NOTE See Annex D for further information.
6.6 Acid number
The fuel shall be free of inorganic acids. The acid number of DM and RM fuels shall be determined in
accordance with ASTM D664, Procedure A. The acid number of DF and RF fuels shall be tested in accordance
with ASTM D664, Procedure B.
In case of dispute concerning acid number, all parties shall agree, prior to additional testing, upon which
procedure of ASTM D664 shall be used.
NOTE See Annex E for further information.
6.7 Oxidation stability
The oxidation stability shall be as specified in Table 1.
For fuels not including FAME or containing less than 2 % of FAME by volume, oxidation stability shall be
tested in accordance with ISO 12205.
For DF grades, oxidation stability shall be tested in accordance with EN 15751.
NOTE See Annex A for further information.
6.8 Total sediment
6.8.1 Existent total sediment
If the appearance of DMB or DFB is assessed as not clear and bright (see 6.11), the total sediment by hot
filtration, typically called existent total sediment (TSE) shall be determined in accordance with the test
method ISO 10307-1.
For the fuels listed in Table 2 and Table 3, the existent total sediment shall be reported.
NOTE The International Council on Combustion Engines (CIMAC) has developed a guideline regarding the
[10]
interpretation of total sediment test results.
6.8.2 Accelerated and potential total sediment
For the fuels listed in Table 2 and Table 4, statistical analysis of data gathered since 2020 on residual type
very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) and high sulfur fuel oil (HSFO) shows that HSFO are more sensitive to
chemical ageing whereas VLSFO with viscosity typically below 200 mm /s (200 cSt) at 50 °C are sensitive to
both thermal and chemical ageing, due to the different nature of the fuels.
For fuels in Table 3, there is insufficient data at the time of writing to assess the sensitivity of bio-residual
marine fuels to thermal versus chemical ageing.
Therefore, the following applies:
— For the fuels listed in Tables 2 and 3 only potential total sediment (TSP) shall be used.
— Accelerated total sediment (TSA) shall be reported for all fuels listed in Tables 2 and 3.
— For the fuels listed in Table 4, either of the standard procedures for ageing in ISO 10307-2 can be used: the
TSA or TSP test. The reference test method for the fuels listed in Table 4 shall be the TSP in accordance
with ISO 10307-2.
NOTE 1 See Annex H for information on stability of residual fuels.
NOTE 2 The International Council on Combustion Engines (CIMAC) has developed a guideline regarding the
[10]
interpretation of total sediment test results.
6.9 Fatty acid methyl ester(s)
The test methods specified in ASTM D7963 and IP 631 are applicable to all DM and RM, DF and RF grades.
The test method specified in EN 14078 is not applicable to RM and RF grades at the time of preparation of
this document. Test method specified in ASTM D7371 is applicable to DF grades.
The reference test method shall be as specified in EN 14078 for DM and DF grades, and ASTM D7963 or
IP 631 for RM and RF grades. In case of disagreement concerning FAME content, all parties shall agree, prior
to additional testing, upon the test method to be used.
FAME content can be reported in content by mass or content by volume according to the test method used.
Alternatively, suppliers can report the FAME content by blend ratio on a mass or volume basis.
NOTE See Annex A.
6.10 Pour point/cloud point/cold filter plugging point
For distillate fuels, the buyer should confirm that the cold flow characteristics (pour point, cloud point, cold
filter plugging point) are suitable for the ship’s design and intended voyage.
NOTE 1 See Annex F for information on cold flow characteristics.
[11]
NOTE 2 More information can be found in the CIMAC guideline for managing cold flow properties of marine fuels.

Introduction
Le présent document a été préparé en collaboration avec les armateurs, exploitants de compagnies
maritimes, associations maritimes, bureaux de normalisation nationaux, sociétés de classification et
d'analyse des combustibles, les concepteurs de moteurs, les fabricants d'équipements de traitement des
combustibles, les fournisseurs de combustible pour la marine, les fournisseurs d’additifs de combustibles et
l'industrie pétrolière, en vue de répondre aux exigences relatives aux combustibles pour la marine qui sont
livrés aux navires dans le monde entier, pour une utilisation à bord.
L’attention accrue portée aux préoccupations environnementales et la législation qui s’y rapporte mènent
à une transition dans la nature des combustibles pour la marine. Une évolution dans la fourniture des
combustibles pour la marine s’est opérée depuis des produits pétroliers traditionnels issus du traitement
du pétrole brut vers des produits pétroliers issus de sources renouvelables et/ou alternatives. Le présent
document prend en considération la nature diverse de ces combustibles et incorpore un certain nombre
de catégories de distillats et de combustibles résiduels, bien que toutes les catégories puissent ne pas être
disponibles dans chaque point d’approvisionnement. Ce document facilite la transition, mais les aspects de
durabilité et la responsabilité sociale ne font pas partie de son champ d'application.
Les catégories de combustibles citées dans le présent document ont été classifiées conformément à
l'ISO 8216-1 et incluent les catégories de distillats DMX, DMA, DMB, DMZ, DFA, DFB, DFZ et les catégories de
combustibles résiduels RMA, RME, RMG, RMK et RF.
Dans les cas où un combustible, qui ne correspond pas exactement à ces catégories de distillats ou de
combustibles résiduels, est proposé à un acheteur, les caractéristiques ou les limites du combustible peuvent
être convenues entre l'acheteur et le vendeur et définies à la fois par une catégorie de combustible figurant
dans le présent document et par toute caractéristique ou limite différente ou supplémentaire, nécessaire
pour définir correctement ce combustible.
Le présent document spécifie les limites du point d'éclair minimal autorisées suivant les dispositions
[3]
données par la convention SOLAS .
[4]
L'Annexe VI de la Convention MARPOL , qui contrôle la pollution atmosphérique par les navires, exige soit
d'utiliser un combustible qui ne dépasse pas une teneur en soufre maximale spécifiée, soit d'adopter un
moyen alternatif autorisé équivalent. Durant la période d'application du présent document, des autorités
régionales et/ou nationales peuvent introduire localement leurs propres exigences en matière d'émissions,
ce qui peut avoir une incidence sur la teneur en soufre autorisée. Il incombe à l’acheteur et à l'utilisateur de
déterminer les exigences légales à respecter et sur cette base, de spécifier au vendeur la teneur maximale en
soufre du combustible.

1 Domaine d'application
Le présent document, dans son intégralité, définit les exigences générales et les spécifications relatives
aux combustibles utilisés dans les moteurs diesel et les chaudières des navires, avant toute opération
conventionnelle à bord (stockage, décantation, centrifugation, filtration, chauffage) préalable à leur
utilisation.
Pour les besoins du présent document, le terme «combustibles» est utilisé couramment pour désigner:
— les hydrocarbures provenant du pétrole brut, des sables bitumineux et du schiste;
— les hydrocarbures synthétiques, les hydrocarbures renouvelables ou les hydrocarbures provenant de
sources recyclées, dont les structures moléculaires ne se distinguent pas de celles des hydrocarbures
pétroliers;
— esters méthyliques d’acides gras (EMAG), lorsqu’ils sont autorisés tel que spécifié dans le présent
document;
— mélange des éléments ci-dessus, lorsqu’ils sont autorisés tel que spécifié dans le présent document.
Les exigences et spécifications générales relatives aux combustibles figurant dans le présent document
peuvent aussi s'appliquer aux combustibles utilisés dans les moteurs diesel stationnaires, de type identique
ou similaire à ceux utilisés pour des applications marines.
Le présent document spécifie sept catégories de distillats, dont l'une est utilisée dans les moteurs diesel
des dispositifs de secours. Il spécifie également quatre catégories de combustibles résiduels dont la teneur
en soufre est inférieure ou égale à 0,50 % en masse, cinq catégories de combustibles résiduels contenant
des esters méthyliques d'acides gras (EMAG) et cinq catégories de combustibles résiduels dont la teneur en
soufre est supérieure à 0,50 % en masse.
