16. What do the markings UKCA, CE 0123 and IP68 on Simalube automatic lubricators mean?

Simalube automatic lubricators feature several markings that indicate compliance, safety, and quality assurance. Here's what they mean:

UKCA marking

The UKCA marking (UK Conformity Assessed) is the UK equivalent of the CE marking and confirms that Simalube lubricators comply with UK regulations.

  • Since 1 January 2021, UKCA marking is mandatory for products placed on the UK market.

  • For users, this means Simalube lubricators can be safely and legally used in England, Scotland and Wales.

CE 0123 marking

The CE marking indicates conformity with European directives and standards. The number 0123 identifies the notified body responsible for the conformity assessment:

  • 0123 corresponds to TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH, a recognised authority for safety and quality testing.

  • This ensures that Simalube automatic lubricators meet all relevant European safety and quality requirements.

IP68 protection rating

The IP68 rating defines the protection level according to IEC 60529:

  • IP6Xcompletely dust-tight, no solid particles can enter.

  • IPX8fully waterproof, even under prolonged submersion.

  • This makes Simalube lubricators extremely durable and suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Conclusion

The markings UKCA, CE 0123 and IP68 on Simalube automatic lubricators guarantee:

  • full compliance with both European and UK safety regulations,

  • safe operation across a wide range of industrial applications,

  • complete protection against dust and water, ensuring reliable lubrication even under extreme conditions.
