About

Scope

Standardization of terminology, classification, specifications, methods of sampling, measurement, analysis and testing for:

  • Crude petroleum;
  • Petroleum-based liquid and liquefied fuels;
  • Non-petroleum based liquid and liquefied fuels from natural or synthetic sources;
  • Gaseous fuels for transport applications;
  • Measurement of gaseous fuels liquefied by refrigeration or compression;
  • Petroleum based lubricants and fluids (including hydraulic fluids and greases);
  • Non-petroleum based lubricants and fluids (including hydraulic fluids and greases) from natural or synthetic sources

Excluded are specifications and classifications for fuels and lubricants used in the operation of aircraft and space vehicles which are the responsibility of ISO/TC 20.
