New Fuel Regulations in Zimbabwe
The Zimbabwean government has introduced new fuel regulations under Statutory Instrument (SI) 150 of 2024, effective from 7 September 2024. The new SI mandates the blending of all unleaded petrol with anhydrous ethanol. This move replaces the previous SI 17 of 2013, which required a minimum blend of 5% ethanol (E5), and now ensures that all petrol sold must adhere to the updated ethanol-blending standards.
This regulation signals a crucial shift in compliance requirements for fuel importers and distributors to Zimbabwe. As a trusted partner in testing, inspection, and certification services, Cotecna is positioned to assist clients in ensuring that all imported petrol conforms to the new mandates. Our team is ready to provide CBCA services as required by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce ( MoIC) to verify ethanol content, ensuring that fuel meets local environmental and regulatory standards.
By supporting compliance with these updated regulations, Cotecna not only helps clients navigate the evolving fuel landscape but all regulated products exported to Zimbabwe.
