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

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.

The notified text sets forth the sanitary specifications and characteristics to be met in order for equipment and germicides for domestic water treatment to receive a Certificate of Bacteriological Effectiveness prior to marketing. It is binding throughout Mexico on natural or legal persons engaged in the processing (as defined in the draft Standard) of equipment and/or germicides for domestic water treatment. Treatments used to purify water for human use and consumption by public and private water supply systems, water purification plants or any natural or legal person distributing such water in Mexico are not subject to the notified Standard but must meet the requirements of the Amendment to Mexican Official Standard NOM-127-SSA1-1994: Environmental health, water for human use and consumption, permissible limits and water purification treatment; Mexican Official Standard NOM-201-SSA1-2015: Products and services, water and ice for human consumption, packaged and in bulk, sanitary specifications; and Mexican Official Standard NOM-230-SSA1-2002: Environmental health, water for human use and consumption, sanitary requirements to be met by public and private water supply systems during water handling, sanitary procedures for sampling.

This Draft Uganda Standard describes permitted constituent materials, limits on constituent volumes, and minimum performance requirements for carbon and glass fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) bars to be used as reinforcement for non-pre-stressed concrete. Only carbon and Glass FRP bars are covered by this specification. FRP bars made of more than one fibre type (hybrid FRP) are not covered by this specification. Pultruded FRP bars with no external surface enhancement (that is, plain or smooth bars) to facilitate bond with concrete are not covered by this specification. Similarly, hollow FRP bars are not considered due to lack of documented performance as reinforcement for concrete. Plain FRP bars used as dowels (that is, devices that transfer shear across concrete joints) where the intended function requires slip of the dowel are not covered by this specification. This specification does not cover pre-manufactured grids and gratings made with FRP materials. FRP mats resulting from assembly of deformed FRP bars, however, are covered by this document. The specification also does not cover FRP bars when used for external and near-surface-mounted strengthening applications. The text of this specification references notes and footnotes that provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the specification
