The basic ICAO definition of "minimum fuel" is as follows (taken from Doc 4444):

Minimum fuel. The term used to describe a situation in which an aircraft's fuel supply has reached a state where little or no delay can be accepted.

Note.-This is not an emergency situation but merely indicates that an emergency situation is possible, should any undue delay occur.
