OREANDA-NEWS. January 23, 2013. Systematic work on the quality control of the motor fuel at the filling stations in Tatarstan is going on. In accordance with the instruction of the President of Tatarstan the Office of Energy Resources Prudent Management of the Republic of Tatarstan held a month's campaign from November 19 to December 25 of 2012, during which 1,092 samples were taken at 511 stations of almost all operators of the retail fuel market in the Republic (74 percent of the total number of operating stations). All 144 samples collected at 74 stations of TATNEFT once again proved the high quality of the motor fuel sold at the filling stations of the Company: the expert examination confirmed their full compliance with the state standards (GOST), reported the press-centre of TATNEFT.

The quality of the products sold at TATNEFT's filling stations is one of the Company's priorities. The work continues in the "TEK CERT" voluntary certification system.

The voluntary certification successfully passed by the filling stations of TATNEFT is supported by additional checks carried out by the certifying body and indicates compliance of the facilities technical condition with the requirements of the regulatory documentation and demonstrates the high quality of the products sold. This in turn confirms the Company's openness and liability to consumers and the public.

To date there are 42 voluntarily certified filling stations owned by OOO "Tatneft - AZS Center" among the total voluntarily certified ones. Since "Tatneft - AZS Center" represents Tatarstan outside the Republic, the Company's filling stations are also certified in other regions of Russia.
