The second revision of the Quality Control and Monitoring Guidelines for the Zambian Petroleum Fuel Industry was necessitated by the need to address the following:
- Government policy to convert INDENI Petroleum Refinery to an OMC and TAZAMA Pipeline from transportation of crude oil to diesel;
Weaknesses of the existing guidelines as identified by the various stakeholders in the supply chain; - Challenges associated with quality assurance in the wake of emerging issues;
- Introduction of biofuel blends and additised petroleum fuels;
- Introduction of the Fuel Marking Program; and
- Handling of contaminated and/ or off specification petroleum fuels.
These guidelines shall be reviewed every five years or as and when need arises to address emerging issues in the Zambian Petroleum Fuel Industry.
