Are there national standards for kerosene and diesel?

The same question: what are the key indicators and considerations when purchasing coal and diesel? Thank you
**Since no such standards exist, industry standards or corporate standards are generally used; it is recommended to purchase in accordance with the national standards for diesel
Apart from its distillation range, which is roughly in line with diesel standards, coal diesel fails significantly in other parameters and cannot be used as diesel; it requires further processing.
I was exposed to coal diesel oil (at atmospheric and vacuum distillation units) in earlier years. Kerosene for kerosene lamps and aviation kerosene ； Diesel is divided into light diesel and heavy diesel. For kerosene production, the main parameter to control is the boiling range; for diesel, it’s mainly the flash point, which should be less than 65°C, and the freezing point at –20°C. I can’t remember the final boiling point – it seems to be around 320°C (for light diesel). I’m not familiar with the relevant standards; it depends on what purpose the kerosene or diesel is intended for
There are standards too, 3# jet fuel； There are standards for diesel at levels 3, 4, and 5; you can just search online!
