// Laboratory Analytics
Excellent Quality and Reliability
Characterisation of Engine, Gear and Industrial Oils
We offer analyses according to standardised procedures of DIN, ISO, ASTM, CEC, DGMK and GFC (> 250 test procedures). This includes the complete analysis for approval according to ACEA, API and OEM specifications. Furthermore, we develop customer-specific analytics and test procedures.
Competencies
More than 90% of our portfolio is accredited according to DIN EN ISO 17025. We are members of and assume responsibilities in various working groups of DIN-FAM, CEC, CEN, GFC, DGMK and FVV. In addition, we participate in national and international ‘Round Robins’ or ‘Precision Matrices’ to ensure our quality at all times.
Special Analytics
The field of special analytics includes the characterisation of fuels, greases and coolants. But we have also built our expertise for future drive systems: We also offer examination and analysis of fluids in the field of e‑mobility.
Service Portfolio
The basic requirements for lubricants and coolants are becoming increasingly complex. We use a variety of test methods to meet these requirements and satisfy our customers.
