ICML 55.2 - Guideline for the Optimized Lubrication of Mechanical Physical Assets (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9788770040372)

The International Council for Machinery Lubrication (ICML) is a vendor-neutral, not-for-profit organization founded in 2001 to serve global industry as the world class authority on machinery lubrication to advance the optimization of asset reliability, utilization and costs. ICML is an independent organization consisting of both paid professional staff and volunteer committees. It is a CERTIFICATION body, serving both corporations utilizing lubrication assets, and individual industrial lubrication and oil analysis practitioners worldwide; a technical AWARDS body recognizing companies and individuals that excel in the field of lubrication; and is the developer and governing body of the ICML 55(R) world standard for lubricated asset management. Established in part to address a clear need for specific standards in all areas of lubrication management that include lubricant selection, application, training and certification, ICML has always supported such activities at ASTM, ISO and other organizations. Following publication of the ISO 55000 "Asset Management" standard in 2014, ICML marshalled its own worldwide team of 45 technical experts to develop a highly tactical, lubrication-specific standard to supplement the more general ISO document. The result is collectively known as ICML 55, an international lubrication standard that spells out the requirements and guidelines to establish, implement, maintain, and improve consistent lubrication management systems and activities.
