BS ISO 08217:2017 pdf download.Petroleum products — Fuels (class F) — Specifications of marine fuels
1 Scope
This document specifies the requirements for fuels for use in marine diesel engines and boilers, prior to conventional onboard treatment (settling, centrifuging, filtration) before use. The 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 six categories of residual fuels.
For the purposes of this document, the term “fuels” is currently used to include the following:
— hydrocarbons from petroleum crude oil, oil sands and shale;
— hydrocarbons from synthetic or renewable sources, similar in composition to petroleum distillate fuels;
— blends of the above with a fatty acid methyl ester(s) (FAME) component where permitted.
NOTE 1 Appropriate guidance about fuel treatment systems for diesel engines is published by the International Council on Combustion Engines (CIMAC) [5] .
NOTE 2 Requirements for gas turbine fuels used in marine applications are specified in ISO 4261 [6] .
NOTE 3 For the purposes of this document, the terms “mass %” and “volume %” are used to represent the mass and volume fractions respectively.
2 Normative references
The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

ISO 3015, Petroleum products — Determination of cloud point
ISO 3016, Petroleum products — Determination of pour point
ISO 3104, Petroleum products — Transparent and opaque liquids — Determination of kinematic viscosity and calculation of dynamic viscosity

4 Application and sampling
This document specifies the required properties for fuels at the time and place of custody transfer. Samples for quality verification may be taken in any location agreed between the parties. The sampling of fuels for analysis shall be carried out in accordance with the procedures given in ISO 13739 or an equivalent national standard. Where specific sampling requirements are documented in the referenced test methods, these shall be adhered to.
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” means an amount that does not render the fuel unacceptable for use in marine applications that are not designed or suited to handling fuels containing FAME. NOTE See Annex A for more details on the level and impacts of FAME.
