E!3792 – ENIWEP TRIBOSTAND Kick-off meeting Castellón, 21st January 2008 |© ITC-AICE, 2007 Project overview PROBLEM: Same property measured in different laboratories with different means gives: DIFFERENT RESULTS OBJECTIVES: To yield a group of common test protocols, which will allow for obtaining the same results, under the same conditions, at any laboratory that has the required means. Once these protocols have been obtained and their validity and traceability verified, a tribological analysis and test service will be established and will enable companies from different sectors to solve their problems at any member centre of the service.
