ISO 8217 Compliance Testing at Atlas Lab

Atlas Lab offers complete ISO 8217 compliance testing services in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and across India. ISO 8217 is the international standard that defines the quality requirements for marine fuels such as VLSFO, IFO, and MGO. Testing is essential to ensure bunker fuel is safe, stable, and compliant with both IMO 2020 regulations and ship engine requirements.


Bunker fuels are often affected by contamination and off-spec issues, including water, sediments, catalytic fines (cat fines), sulfur, sodium, vanadium, and chemical residues. If not detected, these can cause injector wear, piston ring damage, turbocharger fouling, hot corrosion, and even complete engine failure.


At Atlas Lab, we conduct all key ISO 8217 standard tests, including:


  • Water content (ISO 3733 / Karl Fischer)
  • Total Sediment Existent & Potential (TSE/TSP)
  • Cat fines (ISO 10478 / ASTM D5184)
  • Sulfur content (ASTM D4294 / D5453)
  • Density & Viscosity (ISO 12185 / ASTM D445)
  • Flash Point (ISO 2719)
  • GC-MS screening for chemical contaminants
