This draft standard test method covers two procedures for the determination of the pour point temperatures of crude oils down to –36°C. Procedure A provides a measure of the maximum (upper) pour point temperature and Procedure B provides a measure of the minimum (lower) pour point temperature. The use of this test method is limited to use for crude oils. Objeto y razón de ser: Quality requirements. Notificación: G/TBT/N/UGA/634 DUS 1686:2017, Standard Test Method for API Gravity of Crude Petroleum and Petroleum Products (Hydrometer Method). This draft standard test method covers the determination by means of a glass hydrometer in conjunction with a series of calculations of the API gravity of crude petroleum and petroleum products normally handled as liquids and having a Reid vapor pressure of 101.325 kPa (14.696 psi) or less. Objeto y razón de ser: Quality requirements. UNIÓN EUROPEA Notificación: G/TBT/N/EU/480 Draft Commission Regulation implementing Regulation (EU) No 595/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the certification of the CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles and amending Directive 2007/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Commission Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 (19 pages + 280 pages of annexes, in English). This draft Commission Regulation shall apply to vehicles of categories M1, M2, N1, N2, M3 and N3 as defined in Annex II of Directive 2007/46/EC. It complements the legal framework for the type-approval of motor vehicles and engines with regard to emissions and vehicle repair and maintenance information established by Regulation (EU) No 582/2011 by laying down the rules for issuing licenses to operate a simulation tool with a view to determining CO2 emissions and fuel consumption of new vehicles and for operating that simulation tool and declaring the emissions and consumption values thus determined. Objeto y razón de ser: Protection of the environment.
