Technical Report

Overview

This document has been prepared by CEN/TC 19/WG 33 "Bio lubricants" (secretariat: DIN). Regarding German collaboration, the responsible committee is Working Committee NA 062-06-83 AA, Mirror Committee of CEN/TC 19/WG 33 "Bio lubricants" of the Fachausschuss Mineralöl- und Brennstoffnormung (FAM) (Standardization Committee for petroleum, fuels, lubricants and related products (FAM)) of the Materials Testing Standards Committee (NMP). This document has been prepared under a Mandate M/430 of the European Commission, addressed to CEN for the development of European standards for bio-lubricants in relation to bio-based product aspects. This Technical Report gives information about bio-lubricants and recommendations for bio-lubricant (and biobased lubricant) related terminology. These recommendations are based on a discussion of commonly used terms in this field. This Technical Report also briefly describes the current test methods in relation to the characterization of biolubricants. It presents recommendations for related standards in the fields of biodegradability, product functionality, impact on greenhouse gas emissions and the amount of different renewable raw materials and/or different bio-based contents used during manufacturing of such bio-lubricants forming one product group. The criteria of the European Ecolabel for Lubricants ("EEL") [2] include the terms discussed in this paper.
