ATIEL, the Technical Association of the European Lubricants Industry, launches a series of videos for Lubricant Marketers making claims against the engine oil sequences of the European association of vehicle manufacturers, or ACEA, to support greater understanding of their role and responsibilities under the European Engine Lubricant Quality Management System, or EELQMS. EELQMS is a voluntary quality management system intended for automotive engine lubricants and designed to assist Lubricant Marketers in assuring the quality of their lubricants and the performance claims made for them in the marketplace.
ATIEL as member of the CEC Management Board is pleased to announce that the new version of the CEC Operating Guidelines (v35) has been published. The whole document has been adapted to the rules and processes which have been in effect since the reorganisation of CEC in 2001, and takes into account discussions on how new test methods are developed and – more important – how tests that have already been developed by OEMs or laboratories and how they can be incorporated into the CEC system. CEC updated the test method development process and added and explained the process for pre-developed tests.
