ABOUT THE PROGRAM

ASTM’s #2 Diesel Fuel Interlaboratory Crosscheck Program provides laboratories with a statistical quality assurance (SQA) tool, enabling them to compare, improve, and maintain, a high level of performance in the use of ASTM methods with other laboratories worldwide.

Conducted three times annually, this program provides a different commercial sample, report forms, and test instructions for each test cycle. Your laboratory performs the tests that you normally conduct within your own facility using the specified ASTM methods cited in the program.

PROGRAM SCHEDULE

The #2 Diesel Fuel program will be conducted in February, June, and October. The annual fee is $555. Contact Jamie Huffnagle (Ph: 610-832-9682) for mid-year registration.

Samples, electronic test instructions, and report forms are distributed to each participant preceding the testing month. Labs have approximately six weeks to return test data to ASTM with final summary reports electronically distributed to participants approximately 20-25 business days following receipt of test data.

TEST MATERIALS

One gallon of #2 diesel fuel will be used in the program for each test cycle.

DISTRIBUTION OF SAMPLES

Test samples are prepared and distributed for ASTM International by Clark Labs in Jefferson Hills, PA. Program Registration fees include the cost of shipping test samples to Continental U.S. participants.

IMPORTANT: Non-continental U.S. participants have the following options for receipt of samples:

• Ship through a third party shipping agent. Provide ASTM Intl. with the complete address and phone number of your designated U.S. Trans-Shipping Agent who will be responsible for shipping samples from the U.S. to your facility. Participants are responsible for making financial and shipping arrangements to receive samples directly with your shipping agent.
• Ship directly from sample distributor via UPS, DHL, or FEDEX. Provide ASTM with your shipping account number to cover shipping charges. Check that your carrier will deliver test materials to your location.
