1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, the State Board of Agriculture hereby adopts by reference the most recent version of ASTM D975, "Standard Specification for Diesel Fuel," contained in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards published by ASTM International. Each new revision of that standard shall be deemed approved by the Board unless the revision is disapproved by the Board or its designee within 120 days after the date of publication of the revision by ASTM International. A copy of the standard is available for inspection pursuant to NAC 590.045 and may be purchased from ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, P.O. Box C700, West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428-2959, or at the Internet address http://www.astm.org, for the price of $78.

2. The flash point for No. 2 diesel fuel must not be lower than 37.8 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) when the No. 2 diesel fuel has been treated to prevent gelling and the No. 2 diesel fuel has been labeled "winterized."

3. The grade assigned by ASTM International for diesel fuel:

(a) Dispensed from a pump or other device for dispensing the diesel fuel must be posted on that pump or device, except that such posting does not need to include the term "Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel" or "ULSD."

(b) Transported or stored in a vehicle which is used for the delivery of diesel fuel must be posted on the label of that vehicle as required pursuant to NRS 590.040.

4. Any other test method may be used if the State Sealer of Measurement Standards determines that another method produces results equivalent to the results of the specified method. A method approved by ASTM International that has not yet been published shall be deemed to meet the appropriate criteria.
