Scope of list
This list is comprised of British Specifications in the DTD, DTD.900, DED, DEF, DEF STAN,
D.Eng.R.D., D.Eng.D., DERD, BS, CS and TS series which cover aviation fuels, lubricants and
allied products.
It should be noted that the original title “Director General Engine Research and
Development” was modified to exclude “Research” and this resulted in a general change
from D.Eng.R.D. to D.Eng.D. More recently both D.Eng.R.D. and D.Eng.D. were changed to
DERD as the specifications were amended, or new specifications were issued by the
department concerned.
In the 1980s many British Ministry of Defence DTD specifications were rewritten as DEF
STAN specifications.
Recently it was decided to standardise British Specifications as Defence S tandards
(commonly referred to as DEF STAN), and many of the DERD specifications have been
changed over. The changeover is virtually complete and all current DERD, DTD, CS and
TS specifications have now been converted to DEF STAN specifications; in doing so the
numeric part has also been changed. Obsolete or Cancelled British Specifications will not
be changed.
The British Ministry of Defence has also adopted certain U.S. Military Specifications,
these include MIL-DTL-5020, MIL-PRF-46010, MIL-S-81087, MIL-L-46000, MIL-PRF-83282,
DOD-L-25681 and SAE J-1899 and J-1966. Details of these specifications are included in
the section on U.S. Aviation Specifications.
British Defence Standards can be downloaded as Acrobat documents from the UK MoD
website www.dstan.mod.uk
Interpretation of list
In the column headed “Alternative U.S. Specification”, only those specifications which are
equivalent, or acceptable alternatives, to the British Specification are shown.
Where an asterisk * appears in the last column of the list, the AeroShell grade
recommended does not necessarily meet all the clauses of the British Specification, but is the
nearest product marketed by Shell.
For easy reference, obsolete specifications are shown in both the current and superseded
specification columns. In the former case, a suitable comment is made, namely, “OBSOLETE
-- superseded by …”
