TFDA plans to require that the import of egg products, dairy products, gelatin and its derivatives for food purpose be accompanied by official certificates. The requirements are as follows:1. The import of egg products, dairy products, gelatin and its derivatives for food purpose shall be accompanied by official certificates issued by the competent authority of the exporting country indicating that the attested products are suitable "for human consumption", or "in compliance with relevant food safety and sanitary regulations";2. Following the above measure, the import of gelatin and its derivatives shall be accompanied by an official certificate. The certificate shall also attest information on the parts/tissues of raw materials used;3. The requirements apply to products of HS Codes outlined in the attachment.

This Draft Uganda Standard covers the test method for the evaluation of the shear stability of polymer-containing fluids. The test method measures the viscosity loss, in mm2/s and percent, at 100 °C of polymer-containing fluids when evaluated by a diesel injector apparatus procedure that uses European diesel injector test equipment. The viscosity loss reflects polymer degradation due to shear at the nozzle. Viscosity loss is evaluated after both 30 cycles and 90 cycles of shearing

This Final Draft Uganda Standard covers the test method of an engine test procedure for evaluating diesel engine oils for performance characteristics in a diesel engine equipped with exhaust gas recirculation, including viscosity increase and soot concentrations (loading). This test method is commonly referred to as the Mack T-11. This test method also provides the procedure for running an abbreviated length test, which is commonly referred to as the T-11A.

This Final Draft Uganda Standard covers the test method for quantitative procedures for the evaluation of the compatibility of automotive engine oils with several reference elastomers typical of those used in the sealing materials in contact with these oils. Compatibility is evaluated by determining the changes in volume, Durometer A hardness, and tensile properties when the elastomer specimens are immersed in the oil for a specified time and temperature.

This Draft Uganda Standard covers the test method for the laboratory determination of high-temperature high-shear (HTHS) viscosity of engine oils at a temperature of 150 °C using a multicell capillary viscometer containing pressure, temperature, and timing instrumentation. The shear rate for this test method corresponds to an apparent shear rate at the wall of 1.4 million reciprocal seconds (1.4 × 10 6 s−1).
