# The Oil in Navigable Waters (Heavy Diesel Oil) Regulations 1967, Note: Explanatory note


These Regulations, which come into force on 18th May 1967 define heavy, diesel oil for the purposes of section 1 of the Oil in Navigable Waters Act 1955. This definition replaces that in the Oil in Navigable Waters (Heavy Diesel Oil) Regulations 1956 (S.I. 1956/897) which are revoked. The only change is the substitution in the definition of reference to a 1966 Standard Method of test in place of the Standard Method of 1954 specified in the 1956 Regulations.
Copies of the 1967 Book of A.S.T.M. Standards can be consulted at the National Reference Library of Science and Invention (Holborn Division), 25 Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, London, W.C.2., or at the British Standards Institution, 2 Park Street, London, W.1.
