Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to liquid hydrocarbons derived from petroleum, or liquid hydrocarbons combined with performance-enhancing additives, used as blendstocks for blending ethanol gasoline (E10) for motor vehicles that meet the requirements of GB 18351. It is mandatory for all manufacturers producing blendstocks for the Chinese market. It does not apply to blendstocks intended for other types of fuels or non-automotive applications.
Technical requirements
The standard specifies the technical requirements for ethanol gasoline blendstocks across different stages (V, VIA, and VIB) and grades (89, 92, 95, 98). Chapter 5 is mandatory. It strictly prohibits the intentional addition of certain harmful compounds, including lead, iron, manganese additives, formaldehyde, aniline, and compounds containing halogens, phosphorus, or silicon. Key parameters regulated include antiknock index, distillation characteristics, vapor pressure (seasonal requirements), and gum content. Furthermore, the standard sets strict limits on sulfur content, benzene, aromatics, and olefins to ensure environmental compliance and engine performance.
Testing methods
The standard outlines various testing methods to verify compliance, referencing multiple GB/T and SH/T standards. Key tests include the determination of antiknock index (via GB/T 5487 and GB/T 503), distillation characteristics (GB/T 6536), vapor pressure (GB/T 8017), and sulfur content (SH/T 0689). Manufacturers must use these specified methods or approved alternatives to ensure accurate quality assessment.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 22030-2017?
It regulates ethanol gasoline blendstocks for motor vehicles, specifically the base gasoline components used to blend E10 ethanol gasoline.
Are there any updates from the previous version of GB 22030-2017?
Yes, it replaces GB/T 22030-2015. Key changes include the introduction of Stage VIA and VIB technical requirements based on olefin content, deletion of Stage IV requirements, and modifications to density and implementation rules.
What are the implementation timelines for the different stages in GB 22030-2017?
The standard features a phased implementation. Stage V requirements were phased out by January 1, 2019, and Stage VIA requirements were phased out by January 1, 2023. Local governments may implement advanced stages earlier based on environmental needs.
