["6.1.        Oils that will be Accepted"]
[]
["Oils defined under clauses 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 are the oils addressed by this specification and are required.  Oils meeting the requirements as defined in clauses 4.4 and 4.5 will not be acceptable. (See clause 7.2.)  No other oils will be considered."]
[]
["6.2.        Technical data sheets:"]
[]
["The lubricant supplier shall submit complete technical data sheets for all lubricants tendered, including the results of all tests required to comply with LMOA, GM EMD and GE requirements.   In addition, physical parameters detailed in Annexure No. 1 shall be submitted for each oil offered."]
[]
["6.3.        Lubricant formulations:"]
[]
["The supplier shall furnish data showing the composition of the candidate lubricant, regarding both the specific base stocks (crude source and refinery, etc.) and additive treatment (concentration, generic chemical description of each component, manufacturer)."]
[]
["All lubricants, under contract or purchase order, manufactured to this specification, shall be identical in every respect to the product approved."]
[]
["No changes in the formulation (including both base oil source and additive package and concentration) or manufacturing process are allowed without the prior written approval of Transnet.  Lack of such notification constitutes grounds for rejection and removal from the approved list of suppliers."]
[]
["6.4.        OEM Certificates:"]
[]
["The lubricant supplier shall submit a letter or certificate of compliance or approval from both GE and GM EMD, indicating conformance to their requirements, for each lubricating oil tendered.  The results of OEM bench and engine testing should be made available to Transnet on request."]
[]
[]
[]
["6.5.        Laboratory test certificates:"]
[]
["The lubricant supplier shall submit test results from a laboratory acceptable to Transnet, confirming that the product submitted for approval meets all of the stated requirements.  Test limits shown are absolute; test precision was considered when setting them."]
[]
["6.6.        Material Safety Data Sheets:"]
[]
["The supplier shall submit a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each lubricant tendered."]
[]
["6.7.        Chemical properties:"]
[]
["Lubricants shall not contain water, acid, particulates, or other substances that may be detrimental to the proper function and performance of the engines for which they are intended."]
[]
["6.8.        Lubricant Compatibility:"]
[]
["Mixtures of the lubricant approved, and the lubricant currently used shall pass all the requirements of this specification.  The incoming supplier shall certify that, when his lubricant is mixed with a lubricant already in use, there shall be no incompatibility or loss in operating performance.  Transnet reserves the right to request proof of compatibility, e.g. laboratory tests, etc."]
[]
["6.9.        Quality:"]
[]
["The supplier shall be certified to ISO 9000:2000 or an equivalent quality management system acceptable to Transnet.  Suppliers shall perform regular quality control checks at each location where the material is manufactured.  Each batch of oil blended shall be tested and results recorded on batch control certificates worded along the lines of Annexure No 2.   Such quality control data shall be made available to Transnet upon request."]
[]
["Because of the need for this oil to be zinc and chlorine free, and to prevent contamination with other lubricants, manufacturing or blending should preferably take place only in dedicated tanks.  Failing this, stringent measures should be taken to clean blending tanks and piping between batches.  The responsibility for this should be placed under the control of a competent person with defined responsibilities."]
[]
["Transnet may check incoming shipments for compliance to this specification.  The supplier is responsible for meeting this specification without dependence upon Transnet’s inspection.  Non-compliance to physical and chemical requirements constitutes grounds for rejection of any shipment."]
[]
["If physical or chemical analyses determine that the delivered lubricant is not in compliance with the requirements, the supplier may be held liable for any losses due to equipment or lubricant damage."]
[]
["6.10.    Packaging and marking:"]
[]
["Each container, where lubricant is not supplied in bulk, shall be clearly identified on the top and side.  The identification shall contain the Transnet specification number at least 50 mm high on 20 litre or larger containers."]
[]
["6.11.    Total Base Number"]
[]
["The Total Base Number of the Oil shall be equivalent to 10.5 mg potassium hydroxide per gram of oil (mg KOH/g) when determined by ASTM D2896 methods.  In addition, the oil supplier shall also report the TBN value as determined by ASTM D664 test methods."]
[]
["6.12.    Viscosity Index:"]
[]
["The viscosity index of the lubricant shall be determined by ASTM D2270."]
[]
["6.13.    Tendering Requirements"]
[]
["Tenderers shall acknowledge, provide complete information, or indicate compliance with respect to each clause of this specification and Annexure 1 shall be completed in full.    Tenderers not complying with this requirement shall be disqualified."]

["7.1.        Transnet Lubricant Approvals:"]
[]
["Lubricants meeting all the technical requirements of this specification shall be acceptable by Transnet for use in the locomotives listed. The successful supplier shall keep Transnet informed of the latest development and improvements on oil as the LMOA progress to new generation oils."]
[]
["7.2.        Testing of Product by Transnet."]
[]
["The implementation of field service trials by Transnet is a considerable expense, and it is regretted that no field trials can be undertaken on qualified or non-approved oils at this stage."]
