GB/T 22030-2025Blendstocks of ethanol gasoline for motor vehicles (English PDF)

1 Scope

GB/T 22030-2025 is the Chinese national standard on blendstocks of ethanol gasoline for motor vehicles, in the field of petroleum and related technologies. The /T suffix marks it as a recommended standard: it is not compulsory by itself, but it becomes binding as soon as a contract, a tender or a customer specification calls it up - which in practice is how most foreign buyers meet it. It was issued on 30 June 2025 by the State Administration for Market Regulation; Standardization Administration of China, and has been in force since 1 July 2026. Classification: ICS 75.160.20, CCS E31. This page is published from the official record of the standard held by the Chinese standards administration: the identification, the dates, the classification and the issuing body are taken from there. The clause text, the tables and the numeric limits are in the document itself, which is delivered complete in English translation.

This document specifies the product classification, technical requirements, test methods, sampling, labeling, packaging, transportation, storage, and safety of blendstocks of ethanol gasoline for motor vehicles. This document applies to blendstocks composed of liquid hydrocarbons derived from petroleum or liquid hydrocarbons derived from petroleum and performance-improving additives, used for blending ethanol gasoline for motor vehicles.
