Standards & approvals
EU Ecolabel
The European Union's voluntary ecolabel, certifying that a product, including lubricants, meets reduced-environmental-impact criteria across its life cycle.
SS 15 54 70
SS 15 54 70 — environmental requirements for greases (Sweden)
The counterpart of the Swedish SS 15 54 34 standard applied to greases: high biodegradability, low aquatic toxicity, and no environmentally hazardous classification.
OECD 301B
OECD 301B biodegradability above 60 %
A test result rather than a norm: OECD 301B measures the carbon dioxide evolved over 28 days. Above 60 % counts as "readily biodegradable", the threshold the environmental labels require.
