Purpose


The purpose of the amending of Rule 5F-10.001, F.A.C., is to adopt the most recent version of the chemical and physical standards set forth in ASTM International for antifreeze (engine coolant) products and to alter the language so as to require all such products to conform to the ASTM International standards adopted in this section. The effect of the adoption of the most recent version of the standards is to maintain up-to-date nationally recognized standards. The purpose of altering the language is to eliminate any possible ambiguity regarding product quality specifications for non-glycol base engine coolants. The effect of these changes will be to ensure that all antifreeze products sold or distributed in the State of Florida meet the ASTM International specifications adopted in this section.
