Platts to revise Asia 10 ppm gasoil flash point

Following industry feedback and engagement, Platts proposes to amend the flash point reflected in its specifications for Asian 10 ppm gasoil assessments.

To bring the assessments in line with all other gasoil grades assessed on an FOB Singapore basis, the minimum flash point for the assessments would be raised to 66 degrees Celsius, with effect from January 2, 2012.

The minimum flash point reflected in the assessment for 10ppm gasoil is currently set at 61.5 C.

The change would affect 10 ppm gasoil assessments for FOB Singapore, FOB West India and C+F Sydney/Melbourne.
