Bearing Identification Still Confusing - Legal Action Pending

30 Aug, 2010

Markings and labeling of bearings are critical to every End-User & Consumer, but mis-interpretation by some "so-called" bearing manufacturers to comply with simple guidelines continue to escalate.

The argument by many unscrupulous traders say major players eg. SKF, TIMKEN do not fully comply to labeling Standards as a requirement by Law, therefore why should they comply. This is an incorrect assumption.

From recent inspections of distributors stock found that SCHAEFFLER, SKF & TIMKEN complied 100% to the three requirements (1) Part number (2) Brand (3) Country of Origin.

The BICC platform is based on this 3 step formula, simple but straight to the point.

Unfortunately, the major players are not willing to assist the BICC with eliminating this practice preferring to 'Profit' by way of public confusion at the expense of Safety and consumer backlash, eventually lowering the bearing floor price.

If you have a concern about this 3 Step Formula, we would be pleased to receive your comments. The BICC is involved with a significant LEGAL CLAIM by a UK distributor against a EU "so-called" bearing manufacturer over the true 'Country of Origin', we are now hoping for a Legal Precedent to be established ceasing this type of confusion in the Bearing industry.
