Overview
ISO 3837:1993/Amd 1:2021 is an important amendment to the international standard for determining hydrocarbon types in liquid petroleum products using the fluorescent indicator adsorption (FIA) method. Issued by ISO (International Organization for Standardization), this amendment updates procedures to ensure continued accuracy and reliability in hydrocarbon analysis, critical for industries handling fuels and lubricants derived from natural or synthetic sources. The standard is essential for quality control, product specification, and regulatory compliance within the petroleum sector.
Key Topics
- Fluorescent Indicator Adsorption (FIA) Method: A precise technique for classifying hydrocarbon groups within liquid petroleum products by using fluorescent dyes adsorbed onto gels.
- Amendment Updates: The 2021 amendment addresses the substitution and availability issues related to the fluorescent indicator-dyed gel, ensuring only suitable batches are used for accurate analysis - notably excluding lots 3000000975 to 3000000982.
- Normative References: Updates to related standards and test methods including ISO 756-1 for propan-2-ol testing, ISO 3171 on petroleum liquid sampling, and ASTM test methods for catalyst surface area and gasoline composition.
- Quality Assurance: Emphasizes correct gel batch usage and highlights sole sourcing from UOP LLC, distributed by Advanced Specialty Gas Equipment Inc., indicating strict control over reagents to maintain measurement consistency.
Applications
- Petroleum Product Classification: Enables efficient and reliable identification of hydrocarbon groups in fuels like gasoline, diesel, and aviation turbine fuel, necessary for formulation and performance assessment.
- Quality Control in Refineries: Assists petrochemical companies in monitoring feedstock and final product composition to meet technical specifications and regulatory standards.
- Fuel Additive and Blend Verification: Supports verification of additive presence and hydrocarbon interactions in fuel blending processes.
- Research and Development: Used by laboratories developing new fuel formulations or evaluating alternative fuel sources to ensure product consistency and environmental compliance.
Related Standards
- ISO 756-1: Testing methods for industrial propan-2-ol, essential for sample preparation and reagent quality.
- ISO 3171: Specifies automatic pipeline sampling of petroleum liquids, supporting consistent sample collection.
- ASTM D3663: Test method for determining catalyst surface area, relevant for understanding adsorption efficacy.
- ASTM D4815: Gas chromatography techniques for determining alcohols and ethers in gasoline, complementing hydrocarbon type analysis.
By adhering to ISO 3837:1993/Amd 1:2021, industry professionals ensure accurate hydrocarbon characterization, support fuel quality control, and align with internationally recognized best practices in petroleum product testing. This amendment reinforces the standard’s role in maintaining the integrity and safety of liquid petroleum analysis worldwide.

Foreword
ISO (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 technical
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 of
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 was drafted in accordance with the
