Import prohibition on waste oil: staged screening and sequential testing required to classify fuel oil and off spec consignments. Import of waste oil is prohibited and the seven parameters previously prescribed apply only to waste oil, not to fuel oil, LSHS or LSWR. Customs must apply a staged testing regime for off spec fuel oils: initial screening for acidity (nil) and ash ( 0.1%); if screening fails, test heavy metals (allowable limits by IIP) and classify as waste oil if exceeded; if heavy metals are within limits, perform AOX analysis for organic halides and, if present, analyse for PCB. BIS IS 1593/82 and refinery specifications are reference standards.
