Annex C gives a brief viscosity/temperature table, for information purposes only. 1 mm²/s = 1 cSt Purchasers should ensure that this pour point is suitable for the equipmenton board, especially if the vessel operates in both the northern and southern hemispheres. A sulfur limit of 1,0 % (m/m) will apply in emission control areas designated by the International Maritime Organization, when its relevant protocol comes into force. There may be local variations. A fuel shall be considered to be free of used labricating oils (ULO’s) if one or more of the elements zinc, phosphorus and calcium are below or at the specified limits. All three elements shall exceed the same limits before a fuel shall be deemed to contain ULOs.
