(a) give a transparent or translucent liquid or stable emulsion without separation of insoluble matter; and


(b) reduce the surface tension of water to 4,5 × 10–2 N/m (45 dyn/cm) or less.


4. In heading 3403, the expression ‘petroleum oils and oils obtained from bituminous minerals’ applies to the products defined in note 2 to Chapter 27.
