Ecol lab – what was happening in January?
Implementing SmartEcol 2.0
SmartEcol 2.0 – what’s changing?
- Instant sample registration – now there is no longer a need to fill in a sample print every time a sample is taken. You fill it in once and, with the help of the RFID tag assigned to the instrument, sample registration is instantaneous.
- Current and historical data – the application allows the quick entry of current data, e.g. the last oil change date, number of top-ups since the last oil change, and also reads historical data, which is unchangeable.
- Mobile access = less mistakes, less paper – using the app minimises errors caused by manual completion of sample forms, allows mobile access to diagnostic reports, contributes to environmental protection by eliminating the need for paper forms.
- Last but not least – it works offline! 😊 The application works offline, so it is possible to use it even in places with limited internet access.
We received a positive PCA audit
On 17 and 18 January, another audit took place at the Ecol laboratory by the Polish Centre for Accreditation, confirming that the test results you receive are reliable, credible and repeatable.
Independent Auditors verified the work of the Ecol Laboratory in terms of meeting specific quality standards and its ability to carry out reliable tests in accordance with accepted standards. The audit ended positively, thereby confirming our competence, as well as the credibility and reliability of our test results.
You can meet us in February:

Element of the month
- Iron (Fe, Latin: Ferrum) is the most common wear element in lubricants. It is an essential element in all grades of steel, which is by far the most common material in lubricated machinery.
- Iron often correlates with other metals such as chromium, titanium, molybdenum and vanadium. If the correlation remains proportional as the level increases, this suggests that these metals are alloying additives, but if the levels of other metals increase disproportionately, this suggests electroplated coatings.
- In the Bronze Age, before mankind learned to extract iron from ore, iron meteorites were the main source of the metal, as the element so extracted did not require any chemical treatments.
