ERMA New Zealand is consulting on further amendments to the Denatured Ethanol Group Standard 2006.
On 2 March 2007, Damar Industries submitted a formal application for the amendment of the Denatured Ethanol Group Standard 2006. They proposed that a further formulation of denatured ethanol be permitted for sale to the general public, namely ethanol denatured with 0.25% by volume tertiary butyl alcohol and 10ppm denatonium benzoate.
The Agency is now consulting in accordance with Part 6A of the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act on the proposed amendments to the Denatured Ethanol Group Standard 2006.
