Draft Food (Amendment) Regulations 2014
Contents
The Agri-Food & Veterinary
Authority of Singapore (AVA)
has reviewed the Food
Regulations and proposes to
make an editorial amendment
to the mandatory statements
that must be declared on food
products containing
phytosterols, phytosterol
esters, phytostanols and
phytostanol esters.
Presently, food products
containing phytosterols,
phytosterol esters, phytostanols
and phytostanol esters are
required to carry the following
mandatory statements on their
product labels:
- The product is a special
purpose food intended
exclusively for people who
want to lower their
blood cholesterol level;
- Patients on cholesterol
lowering medication should
only consume the product
under medical supervision;
- The product may not be
nutritionally appropriate for
pregnant and breast-feeding
women and children
under the age of 5 years;
- The product should be
used as part of a balanced and
varied diet, including regular
consumption of fruit
and vegetables to help maintain
carotenoid levels;
- Consumption of more
than 3 g per day of added
phytosterols or phytostanols
should be avoided; and
- A statement suggesting
the amount of the food (in g or
ml) to be consumed each
time (referred to as a
serving) and the number of
servings suggested to be
consumed per day, with
a statement of the amount of
phytosterols or phytostanols
that each serving
contains.
Singapore proposes to amend
the above mandatory statements
to the following:
- The product may not be
nutritionally appropriate for
pregnant and breast-feeding
women and children
under the age of 5 years;
- The product should be
used as part of a balanced diet;
- A statement
recommending the daily
consumption of 2 - 3g of
phytosterols/phytostano
ls.
- A statement of the
amount of phytosterols,
phytosterol esters (calculated as
phytosterols),
phytostanols or phytostanol
esters (calculated as
phytostanols) that each
serving contains.
(The above amendment is also
notified via SPS notification.)

Title
Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces, and New Residential Masonry Heaters (88 pages, in English).
Contents
The EPA is proposing to
amend the Standards of
Performance for New
Residential Wood Heaters and
to add two new subparts:
Standards of Performance for
New Residential Hydronic
Heaters and Forced-Air
Furnaces and Standards of
Performance for New
Residential Masonry Heaters.
This proposal is aimed at
achieving several objectives
for new residential wood
heaters and other wood-
burning appliances, including
applying updated emission
limits that reflect the current
best systems of emission
reduction; eliminating
exemptions over a broad suite
of residential wood
combustion devices;
strengthening test methods as
appropriate; and streamlining
the certification process. This
proposal does not include any
requirements for heaters solely
fired by gas, oil or coal. In
addition, it does not include
any requirements associated
with appliances that are
already in use. The EPA
continues to encourage state,
local, tribal, and consumer
efforts to changeout (replace)
older heaters with newer,
cleaner, more efficient heaters,
but that is not part of this
federal rulemaking.
Particulate pollution from
wood heaters is a significant
national air pollution problem
and human health issue. Health
benefits associated with these
proposed regulations are
valued to be much greater than
the cost to manufacture
cleaner, lower emitting
appliances. These proposed
regulations would significantly
reduce particulate matter (PM)
emissions and many other
pollutants from these
appliances, including carbon
monoxide (CO), volatile
organic compounds (VOC),
and hazardous air pollutants
(HAP). Emissions from wood
stoves occur near ground level
in residential communities
across the country, and setting
these new requirements for
cleaner stoves into the future
will result in substantial
reductions in exposure and
improved public health.

ranging consumer information
and education initiatives
related to fuel economy,
greenhouse gas, alternative
fuels and thermal management
technologies. NHTSA is
implementing these new
information and education
initiatives through several
different rulemakings.
This proposed rule would
implement specific statutory
mandates that manufacturers
be required to: Identify each
vehicle capable of running on
an alternative fuel by means of
a permanent and prominent
display affixed to the exterior
of the vehicle; add proposed
text describing the capabilities
and benefits of using
alternative fuels to the owners'
manuals provided for

identify each vehicle that is
capable of running on an
alternative fuel by means of a
label in the fuel filler
