1. Scope

1.1 This standard prescribes the requirements, sampling procedure and test methods for automotive diesel fuel (earlier also known as High Speed Diesel Fuel, HSD). It is applicable to automotive diesel fuel for use in diesel engine vehicles and stationary diesel engines, designed to run on automotive diesel fuel.

1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
