Both organisations that are well established in a market and those that have recently been created need the people they do business with, at all levels, to have confidence in their expertise. Given this need, certification is the key to strengthening their role, providing a tool to boost competitiveness when it is based on recognised documents.
In this regard, 19 technicians from the IK4-TEKNIKER – Lubrication Management Industrial Analysis laboratory have recently obtained different official certifications as lubrication experts, endorsed by the ICML (International Council for Machinery Lubrication), an international certifying body which provides independent certifications for lubrication professionals and verifies their extensive knowledge of lubrication engineering.
The different certifications granted have endorsed the skills and advanced level of knowledge of the Industrial Analysis laboratory technicians in the fields of monitoring of machine condition and lubrication and oil analysis, based on the international standards ISO 18436-4 and ISO 18436-5.
More Specifically, the ICML has granted certifications of Machinery Lubricant Analyst (MLA I, MLA II and MLA III) and Laboratory Lubricant Analyst (LLA I and LLA II).
