The Superplus with its RON and MON greater than or equal to 98 and 88 respectively. These two values do not correspond to official specifications but to quality specification sheets drawn up by French auto manufacturers. Strictly according to the rules, Superplus is only a variety of a top quality Eurosuper.

Finally, under the heading Specific pressure equipment requirements specific requirements are set out for equipment with a risk of overheating, for piping and, last but not least, specific quantitative requirements which set out a series of safety factors for certain pressure equipment. These latter provisions apply as a general rule which means that a manufacturer or a harmonised standard may deviate from these factors if it can be demonstrated that appropriate measures have been taken to achieve an equivalent level of safety. 

According to an elegant remark by Davies [5], "Modem scientific data handling is multitechnique, multisystem, and manufacturer-independent, with results being processed remotely from the measuring apparatus. Indeed, data exchange and storage are steps of the utmost importance in the data acquisition pathway. The simplest way to store data is to define some special format (i.e., collection of rules) of a flat file. Naturally, one cannot overestimate the importance of databases, which are the subject of Chapter 5 in this book. Below we discuss three simple, yet efficient, data formats. 

In June 1992, the American Law Institute undertook the task of drafting the Restatement (Third) of Torts "Products LiabiUty." Tentative Draft No. 2 takes the position that different HabiUty rules must apply for manufacturing defects and defects based on inadequate design or failure to warn ... 

As part of TSCA, EPA can require the testing of any chemical if there is the possibiUty of an unreasonable risk to health or environment or if there is significant human or environmental exposure. If the substance poses an unreasonable risk, EPA can prohibit the manufacture, processing, or distribution of the substance limit the amount of the substance that can be manufactured, processed, or distributed prohibit a particular use for the substance limit the concentration of the substance during manufacture, processing, or distribution regulate disposal methods for the substance and require manufacturers to maintain records of process and to conduct tests to assure compliance with EPA rules. 

A considerable amount of hydrobromic acid is consumed in the manufacture of inorganic bromides, as well as in the synthesis of alkyl bromides from alcohols. The acid can also be used to hydrobrominate olefins (qv). The addition can take place by an ionic mechanism, usually in a polar solvent, according to Markownikoff s rule to yield a secondary alkyl bromide. Under the influence of a free-radical catalyst, in aprotic, nonpolar solvents, dry hydrogen bromide reacts with an a-olefin to produce a primary alkyl bromide as the predominant product. Primary alkyl bromides are useful in synthesizing other compounds and are 40—60 times as reactive as the corresponding chlorides (6). 

Alloys having varying degrees of corrosion resistance have been developed in response to various environmental needs. At the lower end of the alloying scale are the low alloy steels. These are kon-base alloys containing from 0.5—3.0 wt % Ni, Cr, Mo, or Cu and controlled amounts of P, N, and S. The exact composition varies with the manufacturer. The corrosion resistance of the alloy is based on the protective nature of the surface film, which in turn is based on the physical and chemical properties of the oxide film. As a rule, this alloying reduces the rate of corrosion by 50% over the fkst few years of atmosphere exposure. Low alloy steels have been used outdoors with protection.
