QUALITY & TESTING
C.I.M Lubri Fuel Quality Control starts from the moment of off-loading raw materials, base oils, and additives inside the plant. Bulk-loaded vehicles will not be off-loaded, before completing full inspections of raw materials and the granted quality approval by the quality and laboratory department.
ISO 9009:2005
As an ISO 9001:2015 company, C.I.M Lubri Fuel is committed to quality. On-site and on-spec, every time. C.I.M products manufactured in our facility go through our laboratory, from raw materials to finished products, to ensure that API, ACEA, and OEM specifications targets are exceeded.
We stand behind the quality and consistency of our products. A Certificate of Analysis is available for every product.
EELQMS
The EELQMS guidelines are summarised, but each of the constituent elements specifies detailed requirements that should be followed while designing, developing, manufacturing, or marketing engine lubricants. Meeting the requirements of each of the constituent elements of EELQMS is the responsibility of the lubricant marketer.
The main elements of the EELQMS are:
- ACEA European Oil Sequences 2, which set the minimum performance specifications for lubricants used in different automotive engine categories.
- ATC Code of Practice 3, which describes processes for engine testing, compliance and audit, the reporting of test data, and the use of additive-specific formulation modifications. This is in order to support ACEA performance claims.
- ATIEL Code of Practice 4, which provides oil formulation guidelines for the development and marketing of lubricants that meet ACEA performance requirements.
- CEC6 and ASTM 5 test methods, provide the globally recognized, standardized lubricant test methods.
ATC CODE OF PRACTICE & ATIEL CODE OF PRACTICE
The ATC Code of Practice and the ATIEL Code of Practice are integral parts of the System. They encourage the adoption of common standards and best practices for engine lubricant development, and consistent and precise operation of engine and laboratory testing, coupled with a standardized system for reporting test results.
C.I.M. Lubrifuel is 1 of only 5 participating ATC Code marketers in South Africa.
