The onsite laboratory is the heart of Stanley’s Total Quality Management (TQM) program.  This fully integrated ISO 9001-2015 certified facility ensures every product produced at Stanley meets or exceeds their customers’ highest expectations.  Every blend and production run are systematically tested by highly trained and certified lab personnel before it is approved for shipping to the customers.  From ICP and Noack volatility for engine oils to Brookfield viscosity for transmission fluids, and to FT-IR control for everything – chemist and lab technicians extensively check every blend to ensure compliance with required SAE, API, NMMA, and JASO and other specifications while following ASTM testing procedures.  As with all departments at Stanley, their laboratory systems exceed ISO’s most stringent requirements.

Once the blend has been thoroughly tested and approved, blends are then sent to one of the seven high-speed packaging lines.  Each of these lines have stations that inspect and ensure that the only the best products come from the production line at Stanley.
