This Standard specifies the classification and code, requirements and test methods, inspection rules, packaging, marking, transportation and storage, and safety of marine fuel oils derived from petroleum refining.
This Standard is applicable to fuel oils for marine diesel engines and their boilers. The specifications for fuel oils in accordance with this Standard is also applicable to those for stationary diesel engines of the same make and type as used for other marine machinery.
This Standard specifies four categories of distillate fuel oil, one of which is for diesel engines for emergency purposes. It also specifies six categories of residual fuel oil.
Note 1: For the purpose of this Standard, the term “petroleum” is used to include oil from tar sands and from shale.
Note 2: technical requirements for marine gas turbine fuels are specified in GB/T 29114[1].
Note 3: for the purpose of this Standard, "marine ship" refers to the ships suitable for sailing in ocean areas as specified in 3.1 of GB/T 7727.1-2008[2].
