ISO 20623
ISO 20623:2017 specifies test methods for determining the mechanical properties of lubricants, including hydraulic fluids and gear oils, using the SRV (Schwingung Reibung Verschleiß) test method. This international standard is widely used in industries to assess friction, wear, and extreme pressure performance, ensuring the reliability and longevity of mechanical systems. At Quality Asia Certification, we help manufacturers, testing labs, and lubricant producers ensure that their products meet international performance benchmarks.

What is ISO 20623?
ISO 20623:2017 is a globally recognized standard developed by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) that outlines procedures for testing lubricants under defined temperature, pressure, and vibration conditions. The SRV test method simulates real-life stress scenarios, making it a powerful tool for product evaluation. This standard is applicable across industries including automotive, aerospace, defense, marine, and heavy machinery, where high-performance lubrication is critical for system efficiency and safety.
Why is ISO 20623 important?
The performance of lubricants directly affects equipment durability, energy efficiency, and operational safety. ISO 20623:2017 provides a standardized method to test the tribological behavior of lubricants, which helps manufacturers ensure product quality, meet regulatory requirements, and reduce warranty claims. In a market where quality and compliance are vital, ISO 20623 certification enhances brand credibility and product competitiveness both domestically and internationally.
What are the benefits of ISO 20623?
- Offers standardized testing procedures to evaluate wear, friction, and load-carrying capacity of lubricants.
- Enhances product consistency by validating lubricant performance under simulated operational stress.
- Enables benchmarking across suppliers and product lines, ensuring uniform quality.
- Assists in product development by providing actionable data on lubricant behavior under extreme conditions.
- Helps companies align with OEM requirements and international technical specifications.
