PD ISO/PAS 23263:2019

This standard PD ISO/PAS 23263:2019 Petroleum products. Fuels (class F). Considerations for fuel suppliers and users regarding marine fuel quality in view of the implementation of maximum 0,50 % sulfur in 2020 is classified in these ICS categories:

• 75.160.20 Liquid fuels

This document addresses quality considerations that apply to marine fuels in view of the implementation of maximum 0,50� mass� %� S in 2020 and the range of marine fuels that will be placed on the market in response to the international statutory requirements to reduce exhaust gas emissions. It defines general requirements that apply to all 0,50� mass� %� sulfur (S) fuels and confirms the applicability of ISO� 8217 for those fuels.

It gives technical considerations which might apply to particular fuels for the following characteristics:

• kinematic viscosity;

• cold flow properties;

• stability;

• ignition characteristics;

• catalyst fines.

Additionally, it provides considerations on the compatibility between fuels and additional information on ISO� 8217:2017, Annex� B(see Annexes� B and D).
