Ensuring Fuel Quality and Compliance Across the Energy Spectrum
The quality, composition, and purity of fuels—from hydrocarbons to hydrogen—directly influence performance, safety, emissions, and commercial value. Whether for crude oil, refined fuels, LNG, or next-generation biofuels, consistent testing is critical for efficient energy management and sustainable transition.
BQCIS operates ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories equipped with advanced chromatographs, spectrometers, and distillation analyzers. Our experts test fuels to international standards (ASTM, ISO, EN, IP) covering parameters such as energy content, viscosity, sulfur, water content, density, and trace metals.
Our independent testing, certification, and reporting provide buyers, traders, and regulators with the assurance that fuels meet contractual and environmental specifications—supporting fair trade, optimal performance, and full regulatory compliance.

Success Story
Bunker Fuel Testing Prevents Costly Engine Damage
A major shipping operator suspected contamination in a batch of VLSFO bunker fuel supplied at port. Standard ISO 8217 tests failed to detect the anomaly.
BQCIS performed advanced Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and FTIR testing, identifying phenolic compounds and polymeric residues responsible for injector fouling.
The operator avoided a $500,000 repair cost and downtime by rejecting the contaminated batch, using BQCIS’ report as contractual evidence during supplier arbitration.
