ATIEL, the Technical Association of the European lubricants industry, has developed two tools to strengthen Lubricant Marketers’ compliance with the engine oil sequences of the European vehicle manufacturers, ACEA. The tools comprise of an auditor checklist and a flowchart.
The flowchart is intended as a marketer self-reference tool to support the quality management production process of finished lubricants, from specifying the products performance claims and technical specification at the outset, securing suitable raw materials from accredited or approved suppliers, blending within a quality management framework and finally quality assuring the finished lubricants meet the intended specification.

The checklist helps Lubricant Marketers meet the requirements of Section 10.2 of the ATIEL Code of Practice on Auditing and Assessment in supporting both internal and external auditors in reviewing the quality management frameworks within which finished lubricants making claims against the ACEA engine oil sequences, are produced. The checklist can be utilised by external quality management auditors as part of their regular review, or by internal auditors to ensure continued compliance with the framework.
