The aim of the notified Emergency Mexican Official Standard is to regulate and promote the efficient development of petrochemical transport, storage and distribution activities. ; ;Given that the production, transport, storage, distribution and first-hand sales of petroleum and gas products used as basic industrial raw materials (basic petrochemicals, including ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, carbon black feedstock, naphtha and methane derived from hydrocarbons obtained from deposits located in national territory) and intended for use as raw materials in petrochemical industrial processes may be carried out by individuals, the quality specifications for these products need to be regulated. Furthermore, the industries that use these products need to be certain that the petrochemicals they purchase possess the qualitative characteristics required for the industrial processes for which they are intended. ; ;The urgent nature of this Standard reflects the need to prevent a regulatory vacuum, as of 2016, for persons subject to the obligation under Articles 78 and 79 of the Hydrocarbons Law concerning the quality specifications for petrochemicals and the related testing, sampling and verification methods. ; ;

The notified amendment to the Emergency Mexican Official Standard seeks to ensure an adequate supply of diesel by specifying a minimum cetane number of 40 for diesel from Mexico''s main supply markets. ; ;On 30 October 2015, Mexican Official Standard NOM-EM-005-CRE-2015, "Quality specifications for petroleum products", which establishes the quality specifications to be met by petroleum products at each stage of the production and supply chain in national territory, was published in the Official Journal. However, on 15 December 2015, Petróleos Mexicanos (Pemex) submitted to the Energy Regulatory Commission an application to amend Table 7, "Diesel specifications", in NOM-EM-005-CRE-2015, in order to establish a transitional regime for the cetane rating of imported diesel and thus avoid supply problems in the country. ; ;
