It will not become the standard fuel without a full specification. The completion of the specification IS the process of adoption. A provisional specification gets it into the system so it can be tested.
Understand?

This is yet more meaningless technobabble, and yet another red herring: fact is
100 Octane was always called
100 Octane in RAF service, right throughout the war; the relevant designation was
B.A.M (British Air Ministry) 100, but it was seldom referred to as such.
D.T.D = Directorate of Technical Development, which dealt with developing equipment, aircraft and stores for the RAF. Because 100 Octane fuel was developed outside of the RAF and Air Ministry's direct control as a private venture by oil companies it was never allocated a DTD number.
