GFC mission 1/3 GFC mission 1/3

In 1963, the Oil Industry, Motor

Industry and Users established the GFC : Groupement Français de Coordination

The GFC aims at developing test

methods to evaluate the performance

  • f transportation fuels, lubricants and
  • ther fluids

GFC mission 3/3 GFC mission 3/3

The GFC mission is based on the

needs expressed by its members :

at National level, at European level, if the CEC has not yet

developped test methods at this level.

The GFC does not set up

specifications

GFC/CEC Test GFC/CEC Test Methods Methods

Published by the GFC at French level or

by the CEC at European level.

Constitute international references and

essential tools for the development of our industries.

Form the basis of most specifications and

  • ther classifications defining the minimum

performance level of these products.

They can be used by standardisation

committees (such as AFNOR, CEN,…)

Working Working Groups Groups

GFC members are warmly invited to

participate in development work and/or surveillance of Test Methods in GFC ad hoc Technical Committees.

Such direct participation will enable

them to receive first class information and skills with regard to the relevant Test Methods.

Conclusions Conclusions 1/2 1/2

The GFC continues more than ever as a complement to the "new" CEC

who has become more selective who is managed by 4 large industry

associations

who operates by funding sub-contractors

The GFC is open to small and medium companies as well as larger groups.

Conclusions Conclusions 2/2 2/2

The GFC offers an area of

technical co-operation,

a platform for exchange, ...

to respond to the wishes of the end of the line customers of transport, and not

  • nly from the automobile, who have to

face ever increasing demands.
