GOST R 55475-2013 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R 55475-2013 — "Топливо дизельное зимнее и арктическое депарафинированное. Технические условия" (English: Dewaxed winter and arctic diesel fuel. Specifications). The standard specifies technical and quality requirements, classification and marking for dewaxed winter and arctic diesel fuels intended for high‑speed diesel engines of land equipment.

Abstract

This national Russian standard establishes product grades (seasonal and arctic marks with specified limiting cold‑flow temperatures), physical‑chemical and performance requirements (cetane number/index, density at 15 °C, sulfur limits, polycyclic aromatic content, viscosity, cloud point, cold filter plugging point / limiting filtration temperature, oxidation stability, lubricity, fractional composition, etc.), test methods, sampling rules, and rules for marking, packaging, transport and storage of dewaxed winter and arctic diesel fuels.

Scope

The standard applies to dewaxed (deparaffinized) winter and arctic diesel fuels intended for use in high‑speed diesel engines of land vehicles and equipment. It defines product marking and classification by climatic application (winter "З" and arctic "А") and by limiting filtration temperatures (examples: −32, −38, −44, −48, −52 °C), and it sets the required ranges and limits for key quality indicators.

Key topics and requirements

• Classification and marking of seasonal/arctic diesel fuel grades (e.g., ДТ‑З / ДТ‑А with limiting filter temperatures such as −32, −38, −44, −48, −52 °C).
• Minimum cetane number and cetane index requirements and relevant test methods (e.g., methods referenced by GOST R standards for cetane determination).
• Limits on density at 15 °C, kinematic viscosity ranges, fractional composition and distillation characteristics.
• Sulfur content limits by environmental class, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon content limits, and requirements for oxidation stability and coke formation of 10% residue.
• Cold‑weather properties: cloud point, temperature of turbidity, and limiting temperature of filterability / cold filter plugging point (CFPP) test requirements and classification by application temperature.
• Permitted use of additives (limitations, prohibition of metal‑containing additives except anti‑static where specified), marking, packaging, transport and storage rules, and sampling and test precision procedures.
• References to related test method standards (GOST/GOST R series) and to the applicable technical regulation (TR CU 013/2011) considered during development.

Typical use and users

Primary users include refinery and fuel production technical departments, quality control and testing laboratories, fuel traders and procurement specialists, vehicle and equipment fleet operators in cold climates, regulatory and conformity assessment bodies, and engineering disciplines involved in fuel compatibility and cold‑start performance. The standard is used for product specification, procurement contracts, factory quality control and regulatory compliance in contexts where Russian national standards apply.

Related standards

The standard cross‑references a number of national test‑method and related standards, for example: methods for cetane number/index determination (referenced GOST R methods), GOST 33 (viscosity), GOST 2177 (fractional composition/distillation), GOST 5066 (cloud point), GOST 22254 (filterability / cold filter plugging point), and various GOST R methods for sulfur, oxidation stability and lubricity. It also takes into account requirements of the Customs Union / EAEU technical regulation TR CU 013/2011 on fuels.

A: GOST R 55475‑2013 is a Russian national standard that specifies technical requirements and test methods for dewaxed (deparaffinized) winter and arctic diesel fuels intended for high‑speed diesel engines, including classification by limiting filtration temperatures and required physical‑chemical properties.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers product grades/marking, limits and ranges for cetane number/index, density, viscosity, sulfur and polycyclic aromatic content, fractional/distillation characteristics, cloud point and limiting filtration temperature (CFPP), oxidation stability, lubricity, additives rules, sampling, testing precision and rules for packaging, transport and storage.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Refiners and fuel producers, quality control/testing laboratories, procurement and supply chain personnel, fleet operators in cold climates, regulatory authorities and certification bodies, and engineers concerned with fuel performance in low temperatures.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: As shown in commonly available standards catalogues and technical databases the standard was approved in 2013 and introduced 01 July 2014 and is listed as the active GOST R 55475‑2013 edition in those sources; some databases also note a republication/reissue entry (2019). There is no clear public record in the cited sources that GOST R 55475‑2013 has been formally superseded or cancelled, but users should verify the current legal status and any amendments on the official Rosstandart registry before relying on it for compliance or procurement.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the family of GOST / GOST R standards covering liquid fuels and petroleum products (diesel fuel standards and associated test‑method standards). It cross‑references multiple GOST/GOST R test methods and sits alongside other national standards that regulate fuel quality and classification.
