^a	A sulphur limit of 1.00% m/m applies in the Emission Control Areas designated by the International Maritime Organization. As there may be local variations, the purchaser shall define the maximum sulphur content according to the relevant statutory requirements, notwithstanding the limits given in this table.
^b	If the sample is not clear and bright, total sediment by hot filtration and water test shall be required.
^c	Oxidation stability and lubricity tests are not applicable if the sample is not clear and bright.
^d	Applicable if sulphur is less than 0.050% m/m.
^e	Effective only from 1 July 2012.
^f	If the sample is dyed and not transparent, water test shall be required. The water content shall not exceed 200 mg/kg (0.02% m/m).
