(subregulation 4 (1), table, item 9)

1              Density

                The petroleum product must have a density:

                (a)    equal to or exceeding 0.900 at 15º Celsius as determined by ASTM 1298; or

               (b)    less than 0.900 at 15º Celsius as determined by ASTM 1298 and:

                          (i)    a maximum cetane index of 35 as determined by ASTM D976; or

                         (ii)    in respect of the heaviest 10% of a particular volume of fuel tested, a minimum value of 0.35% mass of carbon residue on 10% distillation residue as determined by ASTM D189 or D524; or

                         (iii)    a minimum pour point of 15º Celsius as determined by ASTM D97; or

                        (iv)    a minimum sulphur content of 1.5% mass as determined by ASTM D129; or

                         (v)    a minimum kinematic viscosity of 10 centistokes (millimetres squared per second) at 40º Celsius as determined by ASTM D445.

2              Duty

                Duty on the petroleum product must have been paid at a rate that is applicable to diesel fuel.

3              Use
