This Draft Uganda Standard covers the test method for the determination of the sulfated ash from unused lubricating oils containing additives and from additive concentrates used in compounding. These additives usually contain one or more of the following metals: barium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, potassium, sodium, and tin. The elements sulfur, phosphorus, and chlorine can also be present in combined form. Application of this test method to sulfated ash levels below 0.02% by mass  is restricted to oils containing ashless additives. The lower limit of the test method is 0.005% by mass sulfated ash.

Products Covered: Engine oils, Lubricating Additives

This Draft Uganda Standard covers test method that describes a bench procedure to simulate the oil aging encountered in Test Method D7320, the Sequence IIIG engine test method. These aged oils are then tested for kinematic viscosity and for low-temperature pumpability properties as described in the Sequence IIIGA engine test, Appendix X1 of Test Method D7320.

With a view to avoiding delays of registration of other generic drugs and negative impacts on patient's access to medicines resulted from unfair or restrictive competition agreements, the Food and Drug Administration of the Ministry of Health and Welfare drafted the "Regulation for Notification of Drug Patent Linkage Agreements” in accordance with Paragraph 2 of Article 42-19 of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act to ensure public health and fair market transactions. The content of the draft Regulations includes: The method, content and starting date of reporting reverse payment interest agreements. Obligations of the parties that report the agreements. Notification to the Fair Trade Commission by the central health competent authority of agreements that it considers is likely to violate the Fair Trade Act.
