SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts will launch updated Russia diesel spec to Euro 5

Effective January 4, 2016, Platts will launch the updated specifications of its Russian domestic gasoline FCA Moscow and FCA Ufa assessments and its Russian domestic diesel FCA Moscow and FCA Ufa assessments and reflect Euro 5 with a maximum sulfur content of 0.001% (10 parts per million).

This proposed update to the specifications in Platts assessments reflects changing government legislation, which will lower sulfur specifications for diesel in the domestic market from January 2016 and even though the government delayed the switch to Euro 5 gasoline in Russia until July 1, 2016, gasoline specifications at Moscow and Ufa reflect Euro 5 standard.

Platts currently reflects Euro 4 with 0.005% (50 parts per million) standards.
