3 Classification and quality requirements
3.1 The quality requirements of liquefied natural gas shall meet those specified in Table 1.
3.2 The liquefied natural gas is classified into three categories: lean liquid type, conventional liquid type and rich liquid type according to the methane content and high volumetric calorific value.
3.3 When either the methane content or the high volumetric calorific value of the liquefied natural gas is different from those specified in Table 1, the methane content is taken as the index for classification.
