Background

In October-November 2003, a training manual was developed by the International Fuel Quality Center (IFQC) in collaboration with CAI-Asia was developed as a comprehensive reference guide to support drafting national fuel quality strategies. This manual was developed to complement training sessions given to six Asian countries in the process of drafting solutions to air quality problems from mobile sources. Vietnam was one of the countries that participated in this workshop. This Fuel Quality Best Practice Overview is part of Vietnam’s fuel quality standard development process. The material in this overview is largely founded on material and information from this workshop and the complementing manual, as well as from the IFQC’s own benchmarking analysis of fuel quality standard development in the Asian region and Europe. This overview attempts to demonstrate the current globally accepted rational for setting fuel quality specifications and the best practice in doing so across the globe with a focus on the Asian region so as to demonstrate that Vietnam is amongst like minded countries in its efforts to set fuel quality standards.
