SVHC Identification in Lubricants and Greases: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Service

SVHC Identification in lubricants and greases is a critical laboratory testing service that ensures compliance with relevant regulations and standards. At Eurolab, we understand the importance of this testing service and its impact on industries worldwide.

The European Unions Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation is a key driver for SVHC Identification in lubricants and greases. REACH requires manufacturers to identify and report Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) in their products. SVHC are chemical substances that are considered hazardous to human health or the environment.

ISO/IEC 17025:2018

Eurolabs laboratory testing service for SVHC Identification in lubricants and greases is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2018, which is an international standard for laboratory competence. This accreditation ensures that our testing procedures meet the highest standards of quality and accuracy.

EN 16798:2020

The European Standard EN 16798:2020 specifies the requirements for lubricants in buildings. This standard requires manufacturers to identify SVHC in their products, including lubricants and greases.

TSE L-21:2017

The Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) has published a national standard, TSE L-21:2017, which outlines the requirements for lubricants in Turkey. This standard also includes provisions for SVHC Identification in lubricants and greases.

ASTM D7428-20

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has developed a standard, ASTM D7428-20, which provides guidelines for testing lubricants for SVHC. This standard is widely accepted globally and is used as a reference by manufacturers and regulatory bodies.

Industry-Specific Standards

In addition to the above standards, various industries have their own specific requirements for SVHC Identification in lubricants and greases. For example:

  • The automotive industry follows the European Standard EN 15680:2014, which specifies the requirements for lubricants in vehicles.

  • The aerospace industry follows the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) standard, which outlines the requirements for lubricants in aircraft.

    • Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations play a crucial role in creating and updating standards related to SVHC Identification in lubricants and greases. Some of the key organizations include:

  • ISO (International Organization for Standardization)

  • ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials)

  • EN (European Standards)

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution)

    • These organizations work together to develop and maintain standards that meet the evolving needs of industries worldwide.

    Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards related to SVHC Identification in lubricants and greases are constantly evolving. New substances are being added to the REACH candidate list, and existing standards are being updated to reflect new scientific knowledge and technologies.

    Eurolab stays up-to-date with the latest developments in standardization and ensures that our testing procedures meet the highest standards of quality and accuracy.

    SVHC Identification in lubricants and greases is essential for ensuring product safety, compliance, and sustainability. Manufacturers must identify SVHC in their products to avoid regulatory fines, damage to reputation, and consumer distrust.
