ONGOING DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL MARINE FUEL STANDARD

The paper traces the history of marine fuel standards from the first British Standard of 1982 to the second revision of ISO 8217, expected to be published in early 1996. The important additions and changes contained in the revision are examined in some depth. Bearing in mind that standards should adapt to and reflect market and technological change, the paper concludes with a discussion of possible concepts for the future.
