During January and February a special assessment of the low-temperature attributes of premium Verve diesel was carried. The filterability parameter of all the samples met the declared value of minus 26 degrees Celsius. The actual values ranged from minus 25 to minus 32 degrees Celsius. One of the most important ISO 9001 quality management system processes in BENZINA, s.r.o., is quality inspection of the fuels sold.
The filling station network has introduced the "Quality Seal" system, telling customers about the periodical and independent inspections of the fuels on sale. Each filling station is inspected at regular intervals by an independent accredited external laboratory. The results of the inspections are processed using statistic methods.
The long term development of the quality of fuel sold at BENZINA, s.r.o., has shown very good and stable results.
In 2013, all controlled automotive petrol in the Quality Seal system had 100 per cent quality; 99.9 per cent of Diesel TOP Q samples collected and analysed by the independent accredited laboratory were also free and clear. Besides this fuel quality monitoring, the quality of filling stations was attested by the results of State inspections carried out by the Czech Commercial Inspection (ČOI) authority in accordance with the Ministry of Industry and Trade By-law No. 229/2004 Sb. According to this authority, too, BENZINA, s.r.o., achieved very good results, especially because in 2006, during its nationwide monitoring, ČOI found 4.8% cases
of non-compliance in general, but none was found in BENZINA, s.r.o.
ČOI inspects all public filling stations in the Czech Republic with the exception of non-public "courtyard" sales.
