India to Introduce Modified PF Test for 2017
MS Notice 14/2016 authorises the modified PF test as described in the IMSBC Code for cargoes being exported from India.
No laboratories have yet received accreditation in accordance with the notice. However, it is to be expected that vessels loading iron ore in India during 2017 will receive shipper’s declarations referring to the method.
Members who receive such certification should ensure that it is accompanied by an accreditation from DGS as to the methodology in place.
