against specification limits of equal to or greater than 3.5mPa.s.
VLS sourced and tested a sample of the product which returned an HTHS result of 3.52mPa.s against a test limit of 3.5mPa.s which is within test precision limits.
VLS therefore finds that the product is compliant against the performance claims made, that there is no case to answer and the investigation and case is therefore closed.
David Wright, Company Secretary of VLS said “We want to ensure we have the highest standards in Europe for lubricant manufacture, blending and marketing, and we want a ‘level playing field’ for all participants, so that we protect the interests of the consumer and other end users.
