This Draft Uganda Standard specifies performance requirements, sampling and test methods for unused fire-resistant and less-flammable hydraulic fluids of the categories HFAE, HFAS, HFB, HFC, HFDR and HFDU, and is intended for hydrostatic and hydrodynamic systems in general industrial applications. This Draft Standard is not intended for use in aerospace or power-generation applications, where different requirements apply. Types HFAE, HFAS, HFB, HFC and HFDR are “fire-resistant” fluids as defined by DUS 2159-1:2019. Most HFDU fluids, while displaying an improvement in combustion behaviour over mineral oil, fall outside this definition and are more appropriately considered “less-flammable” fluids.

Products Covered: Medium oils and preparations, of petroleum or bituminous minerals, n.e.s. (HS code(s): 271019); Lubricant preparations, incl. cutting-oil preparations, bolt or nut release preparations, anti-rust or anti-corrosion preparations and mould release preparations based on lubricants; textile lubricant preparations and preparations of a kind used for the oil or grease treatment of textile materials, leather, furskins or other materials (excl. preparations containing, as basic constituents, >= 70% petroleum oil or bituminous mineral oil by weight) (HS code(s): 3403); Wastes of metal pickling liquors, of hydraulic fluids, brake fluids and anti-freeze fluids (HS code(s): 382550); Lubricants, industrial oils and related products (ICS code(s): 75.100)
