Summary

The Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water has registered the Fuel Quality Standards Amendment Determination (No. 1) 2026. This amendment modifies the Fuel Quality Standards Act 2000, specifically impacting conventional diesel fuel quality standards.

What changed

The Fuel Quality Standards Amendment Determination (No. 1) 2026, registered on March 24, 2026, amends the existing Fuel Quality Standards (Conventional Diesel) Determination 202. This legislative instrument, authorized by the Fuel Quality Standards Act 2000 and administered by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, introduces specific changes to the standards applicable to conventional diesel fuel.

Entities involved in the importation, manufacturing, or retail of conventional diesel fuel in Australia must review and comply with the updated standards outlined in the amendment.
