国际海事组织发布船上液体燃油取样推荐方法，协助有效控制和执行《防止船舶污染国际公约》附则六中有关硫含量的要求。
2016年10月，国际海事组织海上环境保护委员会第70届会议通过了《用于验证船上使用的燃油硫含量的船上取样导则》，并公布于MEPC.1/Circ.864决议中。尽管这只是推荐导则，但为检验员判断燃油硫含量，提供了可取的方法，包括取样位置和样本处理。

New sampling guidelines for the sulphur content of fuel oil
The IMO has published a recommended method for sampling of liquid fuel oil used on board ships to assist with effective control and enforcement of the sulphur content requirements under MARPOL Annex VI.
IMO’s “Guidelines for Onboard Sampling for the Verification of the Sulphur Content of the Fuel Oil used on board ships” was approved in October 2016 at the Maritime Environment Protection Committee’s 70th session (MEPC70) and has been issued as MEPC.1/Circ.864. Although the guidelines are a recommendation only, they set forth an acceptable sampling method for inspectors to determine the sulphur content of fuel oils, both with respect to location of sampling points and handling of the samples.
