SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to update Russia gasoline spec to Euro 5

Effective January 4, 2016, Platts will update the specifications of its Russian domestic gasoline FCA Moscow and FCA Ufa assessments to 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 the changed gasoline specifications at those two locations even though the government has delayed the switch to Euro 5 gasoline in Russia until July 1, 2016.

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