Liquid petroleum products - Bio-lubricants - Criteria and requirements of bio-lubricants and bio-based lubricants

This European Standard specifies the term bio-lubricant and minimum requirements for all kinds of bio-lubricants and bio-based lubricants, while e.g. the EEL [1] refers to specific bio-lubricant families.
This European Standard also briefly describes relevant test method needs with respect to the characterization of bio-lubricants. It presents recommendation for related standards in the field of biodegradability, product functionality and the amount of different renewable raw materials and/or different biobased contents used during manufacturing of such bio-lubricants forming one product group.

EN 16807:2016 4 Introduction General technical specifications for the different types of lubricants, the test methods and criteria for performance are well defined compared to characteristics of the relatively new class of bio-lubricants. Despite the great interest in ‘environmentally compatible lubricants’, the lack of standards and technical language describing these fluids and greases has impeded the growth of the market for these types of lubricants. Standards and definitions are only available for single groups of lubricants, for example for hydraulic fluids (ISO 15380 [1], some Ecolabels). However, a general, non-contentious and well-accepted description and definition including biodegradability, renewability and aquatic toxicity, consistently valid for all kinds of lubricants, still is missing. The “bio-“prefix is often considered as a synonym of good for the environment, or in another situation, good for health. The prefix, when associated with lubricants, can be perceived by the consumers as an indication of biodegradability. In other words, a “bio-lubricant” is expected to biodegrade (to break down in the environment), needed for instance in case of leakages or technically intended losses. In addition, the use of bio-based raw materials could be beneficial with reference to two current problems: fossil resources depletion and climate change. Today, regarding the latter issue, we have to manage the carbon in order to avoid its accumulation in the atmosphere. Efficient use of all available resources and responsible utilization of renewable carbon is a way to participate in this reduction; the prefix “bio” in this sense is taken as an indication of the biological circle. Further detailed information is given in CEN/TR 16227 [2]. Lubricants are important materials which contribute significantly to efficient use of resources: thanks to their tailor-made properties they reduce energy losses and wear in machines and aggregates. The global manufacture of lubricants in all applications only uses a small part of the entire consumed mineral oil: in Europe, it makes up only about 1 %. The major fraction (>80 %) of the residual fossil material is used for energy production, predominantly for transportation and heating purposes. Besides crude oil, biomass is an additional raw material source for lubricants. The currently available biomass is consumed in different segments: food and feed production, power and heat generation, biofuel production and industrial applications (e.g. production of paper, fine chemicals). Due to the limited capacity of ecosystems, the utilization efficiency of biomass and availability issues have to be addressed across the whole bio-economy landscape. The eco-efficiency in this competitive use (e.g. energetic use vs. manufacture of goods) should always be in focus. Today it is mostly acknowledged that it would appear appropriate to use agricultural raw materials predominantly in a cascade of uses, instead of burning them directly in furnaces or engines. That would mean, for example, first producing a bio-lubricant from biomass: around 1 t to 2 t of bio-lubricants can be produced per hectare of agriculture land. The bio-lubricant thereby stores carbon dioxide in the form of vegetable carbon and removes it from atmosphere. It would be desirable to trap this carbon dioxide in the lubricant for as long as possible. Finally, after maximum utilization including recycling when achievable and appropriate, the lubricant can then be used either as energy source or – after re-refining – as downshifted base oil – to return the bound carbon to the natural cycle in the form of carbon dioxide. In order to ensure responsible and environmentally conscious use of natural (fossil and renewable) resources, a clear and unambiguous terminology is of particular importance. The approach which is published in this European Standard is focused on the view of the customer: Are the referred criteria for “bio-lubricants” potentially provable for the formulated product? The statement of this document is: Every announcement with regard to biodegradability, toxicity and renewability should be measurable through the final product in the hands of the customer. It has to be stated that this approach, based on testing of mixtures, is in principle complementary to the basics of the chemicals policy in Europe, which is focused on testing of single components and not on SIST EN 16807:2016



EN 16807:2016 5 testing of mixtures. Hence, adverse effects in humans and/or the environment are considered for specific chemicals but not for the mixture made of them. However, it has to be stated that the combination of well-tested single components in a mixture can generate synergistic or antagonistic effects. Even if biodegradability or bioaccumulation tests for mixtures maybe difficult to interpret, the view on the mixture is the view of the end-user. Thus, the approach of this standard is meaningful for business-to-consumer communication. Adverse effects of single components are generally acknowledged and documented in the Safety Data Sheet for the mixture, according to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation [3]. Finally, this approach intends to enhance the reputation of “bio-lubricants” and the confidence of the customer in this product group. The criteria and requirements for “bio-lubricants” published in this document are intended as horizontal requirements for all kinds of bio-based lubricants, and should be seen as minimum requirements compared to the European Ecolabel for Lubricants (EEL) [4]. The lubricants’ base oils can be made from both biomass and fossil resources. Lubricants made from biomass can be rapidly, slowly, or not biodegradable; their base oils can be natural (unchanged renewable material) or synthetic (chemically modified biomass). Bio-lubricants can be a combination of both natural and synthetic base oils. All the different examples shown in Table 1 are present in the marketplace today and use the term “bio”. This is a cause of concern as it can be the source of misleading information and confusion for the final consumers. The dissemination of confusing, ambiguous or misleading information should be prevented in order not to jeopardize the success of such schemes as well as the credibility of industry itself – this is the aim of this European Standard.

NOTE In addition, consideration of soil dwelling organisms could be reflected in a future edition. Even if in a more general approach “environmentally compatible lubricants” can be seen under additional aspects, up to a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), this European Standard focuses on the term bio-lubricant, which comprises requirements regarding biodegradability, aquatic toxicity, content of biomass and performance. SIST EN 16807:2016



EN 16807:2016 6 The initial issue of this standard is the qualification of the term “bio-based product” with regard to lubricants. Since the bio-based content of a lubricant is not acknowledged as an adequate attribute per se, the combination with other environmentally relevant aspects like biodegradability and aquatic toxicity is obvious. Similarly, the historical view on “bio-lubricants” only in relation to biodegradability shall be extended to aspects of renewable, biological resources. Hence, this standard combines both the term “bio-based lubricant” and the term “bio-lubricant”, and to avoid misunderstandings, both terms are seen as equivalent according to this standard.
