Abstract:
The adoption of GC-VUV technology depends on the promulgation of GC-VUV standard test methods within international standard writing organizations (SWO’s), such as ASTM and the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Standards and specifications for refined fuels provide guidelines for fuel properties, test methods, and quality assurance. They facilitate global trade and harmonization of fuel specifications. Regulators and government bodies rely on specifications and test methods to enforce compliance with fuel quality, safety and environmental standards. The current specification and regulatory status of five GCVUV standard methods will be reviewed. The applicability and versatility of these methods to future world-wide regulations will also be elucidated. The results of a new reference material for ASTM D8071 with EPA accepted qualification criteria will be presented.
