9、orewordISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a tec
10、hnical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters o
11、f electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document
12、 was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such p

Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does no

16、el. It is comparable to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) so it can be used as heating fuel, either mixed with LPG or in its pure form. DME also has very good auto-ignition qualities which makes it a replacement fuel for diesel.The energy efficiency chain is a key issue for choosing DME, which has a bet
17、ter life cycle CO2balance than most of the other alternative fuels. DME is a commodity which can be made from various raw materials, including natural gas, coal, black liquor, biomass, and wastes.As some national standards have been already issued, it seems important to create an international DME s
18、pecification standard in order to unify the requirements at an international commercial level and to ease the international development of DME as fuels.This International Standard focuses on DME as heating fuel for industrial boilers and for households for cooking and heating, and as alternative to
19、diesel for vehicles.

It does not deal with the possible additives necessary for specific end-use applications, for example, odorant typically added to heating fuel and lubricity improvers for DME used as replacement of diesel. Such additives are typically specified for the different
