Intertek diesel fuel laboratories in the USA and Canada are accepted by the US EPA to perform sulfur (sulphur) determination of Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel, offering the largest network of laboratories qualified to perform EPA qualified low sulfur analysis.
Intertek offers diesel fuel sampling and mailing kits, making it easy to ship diesel fuel samples directly to the nearest EPA qualified Intertek laboratory for rapid test results.
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Test Methods:
Intertek USA and Canada laboratories are uniformly standardized to maximize analytical precision. The EPA approval process requires analytical methods meet accuracy and precision criteria in order to be accepted.
About Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel:
Sulfur (Sulphur) in diesel fuel has been lowered to enable new pollution-control technology. The EPA requires a 97 percent reduction in the sulfur content of highway diesel fuel from 500 ppm to 15 ppm. ULSD fuel requirements started to took effect in 2006.
Sulfur Analysis and ULSD:
Under the EPA performance-based test method approach adopted in the diesel sulfur rule, multiple sulfur test methods are allowed. Methods qualify for approval provided they meet specified performance criteria under the Performance Based Testing Criteria in 40 CFR 80.584. Reference 40 CFR 80.584 and CFR 80.585
