| Content | Handbook 130 – 2008 Engine Fuels, Petroleum Products, and Automotive Lubricants Inspection Law C. Uniform Engine Fuels, Petroleum Products, and Automotive Lubricants Inspection Law as adopted by The National Conference on Weights and Measures* 1. Background In 1984, the National Conference on Weights and Measures adopted a section in the Uniform Regulation for the Method of Sale of Commodities requiring that motor fuel containing alcohol be labeled to disclose to the retail purchaser that the fuel contains alcohol. The delegates deemed this action necessary since motor vehicle manufacturers were qualifying their warranties with respect to some gasoline-alcohol blends, motor fuel users were complaining to weights and measures officials about fuel quality and vehicle performance, and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) had not yet finalized quality standards for oxygenated (which includes alcohol- containing) fuels. While many argued that weights and measures officials should not cross the line from quantity assurance programs to programs regulating quality, the delegates were persuaded that the issue needed immediate attention. A Motor Fuels Task Force was appointed in 1984 to develop mechanisms for achieving uniformity in the evaluation and regulation of motor fuels. The Task Force developed the Uniform Motor Fuel Inspection Law and the Uniform Motor Fuel Regulation (see the Uniform Regulations section of this Handbook) to accompany the Law. The recommended Law required registration and certification of motor fuel as meeting ASTM standards. It established a motor fuel quality testing capability by the state. Funding for the installation and support of the testing facility was established by a fee per liter or per gallon on all fuel marketed within the state. In 1992, the NCWM established the Petroleum subcommittee under the Laws and Regulations Committee. The subcommittee recommended major revisions to the Law that was adopted at the 80th NCWM in 1995. The scope of the Law was expanded to include all engine fuels, petroleum products, and automotive lubricants, and its title was changed accordingly. Other changes included expansion of the definitions section, limitation of the scope of the registration section to engine fuels designed for special use, and addition of sections on administrative and civil penalties and on criminal penalties. 2. Status of Promulgation The current Uniform Engine Fuels, Petroleum Products, and Automotive Lubricants Inspection Law was recommended for adoption by the Conference in 1995. The table beginning on page 10 shows the status of adoption of the law. *The National Conference on Weights and Measures is supported by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in partial implementation of its statutory responsibility for cooperation with the states in securing uniformity in weights and measures laws and methods of inspection. 43 |
