Standard test methods are used world-wide for quality control. CEC Test Methods are used extensively by the automotive and petroleum industries in Europe and throughout the world.

By using CEC test methods to the approved quality standards, OEM's and suppliers avoid the requirement for expensive and time-consuming individual tests.

CEC develops timely, quality focussed and cost-effective test methods in response to Industry needs.

These tests evaluate automotive engine oil, fuels and transmission fluids, using gasoline and diesel engines. CEC test methods also cover marine & large engine oils, two-stroke engine Oils, associated bench tests, plus industrial and hydraulic Fluids.

Codes of Practice are CEC test procedures that do not apply to a specific engine type. These procedures can be applied to various test apparatus under different situations.

General publications include resources for companies wishing to deploy CEC test methods, including Reference Fuel and Oil manuals. Also the ISO17025 Interpretation Document for CEC Engine Test Methods defines specific requirements for laboratories.
