Engine Oil Change Points

Dear Member,

In the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, with reference to the letter forwarded to our Union by the Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change, it is emphasised that, pursuant to the Regulation on the Management of Waste Oils, fuel stations, repair shops, service centres, public institutions/organizations, municipalities, businesses engaged in mining activities and other businesses where engine oil changes are carried out must obtain an Engine Oil Change Point Permit Certificate by applying to the relevant Provincial Directorate of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change.

Furthermore, the said letter reminds that administrative sanctions are applied to businesses carrying out engine oil changes without an authorisation certificate within the scope of the provision in subparagraph (dd) of Article 20 of the Environmental Law, which reads "Businesses carrying out engine oil changes without an authorisation certificate pursuant to Additional Article 15 shall be given a written warning to obtain an authorisation certificate within sixty days. Businesses that continue to carry out engine oil changes without an authorisation certificate despite the written warning shall be given an administrative fine of 10.000 Turkish liras (TL 13.620).".

The letter of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change is presented in the annex; businesses/facilities currently carrying out engine oil changes but not holding an authorisation certificate are required to obtain an authorisation certificate by applying to the relevant Provincial Directorate of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change, and administrative sanctions will be applied under Article 20 of the Environmental Law to businesses carrying out engine oil changes without an authorisation certificate.
