ICML 55.0 Standard

As the world-class authority on machinery lubrication that advances the optimization of asset reliability, utilization and costs ICML introduced lubrication-specific standards in 2019 that spell out requirements and guidelines for effective, audit-ready, certifiable management of lubricated mechanical assets. Collectively known as ICML 55, these standards are strategically aligned to ISO 55000 and are intended to support an organization’s physical asset management plans.

Establishes WHY do it?

  • Provides context between asset management principles and an engineered, well-balanced lubrication management system (LMS)
  • Applicable to effective management of all physical assets related to lubrication
  • Companion document that works together with ICML 55.1 Requirements and ICML 55.2 Guideline, as well as the ICML 55.3 Auditor’s Manual

This overview lays the groundwork that connects ICML 55 to matters of asset reliability, availability, maintainability, throughput (work), quality, safety, energy reduction, carbon footprint reduction, and cost/profits.
