1 Scope
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].

3 Classification and Code
In this Standard, according to ISO 8216-1: 2010, the marine fuel oils are classified into two major categories: Group D (distillate fuel) and Group R (residual fuel). The former is classified into four categories: DMX, DMA, DMZ and DMB, while the latter is classified into six categories: RMA, RMB, RMD, RME, RMG and RMK.
Distillate fuel is classified according to sulfur content into three grades: I, II and III; RMA and RMB residual fuels are classified according to sulfur content into three grades: I, II and III; RMD, RME, RMG and RMK residual fuels are classified into two grades.
4 Requirements and Test Methods
4.1 Marine fuel oil shall meet the performance index requirements given in Table 1 or 2, when tested in accordance with the methods specified in this Standard.
4.2 The fuel oil shall be a homogeneous blend of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum refining. This shall not preclude the incorporation of additives intended to improve some aspects of characteristics and performance of the fuel oil. The fuel oil shall be free from inorganic acid and used lubricating oil.
Note: see Appendix K.
4.3 The fuel oil shall be free from any material that renders the fuel unacceptable for use in marine applications.
4.4 DMX, DMA, DMZ and DMB distillate fuel oils shall be free from bio-derived materials other than "minimum" fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), where FAME shall be in accordance with the requirements of GB/T 20828. The blending of FAME shall not be allowed.
Note: see Appendix A.
4.5 The fuel oil shall not contain any additive or chemical waste that
a) Jeopardizes the safety of ship or adversely affects the performance of the machinery, or;
