Co-operation between the appropriate Government Authorities responsible for coordinating and controlling Oil Pollution clean-up and for licensing oil spill dispersants, the dispersant manufacturers, and the oil industry meeting as the Institute of Petroleum Marine Environmental Committee's Dispersant Working Group, has led to a revised specification for oil spill dispersants being agreed, which came into effect in May 1983. The method of assessment of dispersant efficiency has been improved and evaluated in a co-operative programme of work and limits proposed for the Efficiency Index Test for the three types of dispersants described in the Specification.
