1. Scope

1.1 This standard prescribes the requirements and methods of sampling and test methods for two octane grades each of Motor Gasoline (earlier also known as Motor Spirit) and up to 10 percent ethanol blended motor gasoline (E10) under each of BS IV and BS VI categories suitable for use as a fuel in the automobile spark-ignition internal combustion engines of vehicles complying with BS IV and BS VI emission norms respectively.

1.2 This standard also applies to blends of motor gasoline with organic oxygenates such as alcohols and ethers.

1.3 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 specification to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
