Automotive diesel fuel has been subject to ma ndatory inspection under the Commodity Inspection 
Act by the Bureau of Standards, Metrology and Inspection (BSMI) since 1 July 2000. The current 
automotive diesel fuel inspection standar d, CNS 1471, was promulgated on 23 June 2007. The 
BSMI will soon adopt the revised CNS 1471 sta ndard, which was promulgated on 10 June 2014. 
Besides, the BSMI will revise  petroleum products’ names and C.C.C. Codes.
