 National Foreword  
 
Greases have a function to separate moving surfaces, reduce friction and wear between the sliding 
surfaces, reduce noise, minimize power loss, and prevent rust and corrosion of metal surface.  The 
use of greases allows equipment manufacturers to reduce the size of the bearing housing.  Greases 
are expected to carry high loads a t low speeds. Application of greases therefore reduces the cost 
of services of equipment.  It was therefore felt to have a national standard in order to have quality 
automotive service greases in the market.  
 
This Draft  Tanzania Standard has been prepared with assistance drawn  from the following 
documents:  
 
 
             ASTM D 4950, Classification and specification for automotive service  greases.  
 
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this Tanzania Standard is complied 
with, the final value, observed, or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be 
rounded off in accordance with TZS 4 (see clause 2).

CDC 17( 5817) P3 - Lubricating grease - Specification   
  
 
 
1  Scope   
  
 
This standard covers the performance requirements of four classes of lubricating grease, namely 
industrial non -extreme pressure, industrial high-performance  extreme pressure, automotive non -
extreme pressure, and automotive and multi -purpose extreme pressur e, each in four consistency 
grades, and all of which can contain suspended solid lubricants.

 6 Compatibility  and application   
  
6.1 Compatibility   
  
6.1.1 The mutual compatibility of greases depends on the thickeners and the additives present and  
shall usually be determined in experiments. Incompatibility manifests itself in structural changes, 
particularly after short, moderate heating of the mixture, whic h affects the working penetration, oil 
separation, dropping points, etc.  
  
 
6.1.2 Changes in properties caused by a change in the formulation cannot be predicted exactly, even 
when the same soaps or oils are used.  
  
6.1.3 Greases that contain the same soap type are usually compatible with each other.  
  
6.1.4 Table 3 contains compatibility guidelines for the different types of grease and can be used as a 
guideline when recommending greases to end users.  
 
  
6.2 Application   
  
 
Table 4 contains application guidelines for the different types of grease and can be used as a guideline 
when recommending greases to end users.  
 
7 Packaging  and marking   
  
 
7.1 Packaging    
  
7.1.1 The type and condition of each container in which the lubricating grease is packed shall be  
such as to have no detrimental effect on the quality of the product during normal transportation and 
storage.   
  
7.1.2  Only containers of the same size filled wit h grease of the same batch identification shall be 
packed together in a carton.  
  
7.2 Marking   
  
The following information shall appear in legible and indelible marking on each container and on each 
carton (if used):     
  
 
 
 
 
 © TBS 2019 All right Reserved  
 
 
 
  
 
  13 
 
 
  
a) the manufacturer's brand name or trademark;  
b) the description, class and consistency grade of the product;  
c) the thickener use d;   
 d) the batch identification;   
e) the quantity; and   
  
NOTE   In the case of small containers packed in cartons, the batch identification mark need be marked on 
each carton only.   
 
 
f) a clear indication that all types of grease are not compatible, for example "Grease compatibility – 
contact supplier".    
 NOTE   See table 3 for compatibility guidelines.

Annex A  
(normative)  
  
Notes to purchasers  
 
The following requirement shall be agreed upon between the supplier and the purchaser:

 Annex B  
(normative)  
  
 
 Quality verification of lubricating grease    
   
 
 B.1 Quality  verification   
  
B.1.1  When  a purchaser requires ongoing verification of the quality of lubricating grease, it is suggested that, instead of concentratin g solely on evaluation of the final 
product, he also direct his attention to the manufacturer's quality system. In this connection it should be noted that SANS 9 001  
 covers the provisions of an integrated quality system.    
 
  
B.1.2   If the lubricating grease does not bear the certification mark and no information about the implementation of quality control  or testing during manufacture is available to 
help in assessing the quality of a consignment, and a purchaser wishes to establis h, by inspection and testing of samples of the final product, whether a consignment of lubricating 
grease complies with this standard, the sampling procedure given in ASTM D 4057 can be used.  
  
 
NOTE   The sampling procedure applies to fully manufactured products only.  
 
  
B.2 Sampling  and compliance with this standard  
  
  
  B.2.1 Sampling    
  
 B.2.1.1 General   
  
The sampling procedure given in B.2.1.2 shall be used in determining whether a lot complies with the relevant requirements of  this standard. The samples so drawn shall 
be deemed to represent the lot.   
  
B.2.1.2 Samples  for inspection and testing  
  
 
After checking for compliance with the relevant requirements of 7.1 and 7.2, the relevant sampling procedure given in ASTM D 4057 s hall be used to determine whether 
a lot complies with this standard, and the samples so taken shall be deemed to represent the lot for the respective properties.   
 
  
B.2.2 Compliance  with this standard  
  
 
Deem the lot to comply with the relevant requirements of this standard if, on inspection of the containers and on testing of the sample taken in accordance with B.2.1.2, no 
defective is found.
