ISO 22241-1:2019

ISO 22241-1:2019 provides quality specifications for AUS 32 (Diesel Exhaust Fluid or DEF/AdBlue) used in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems in diesel engines.

How Manufacturers Use It:

  1. Product Formulation & Quality Control
    • Ensures that DEF (AUS 32) is manufactured with 32.5% high-purity urea and 67.5% deionized water, maintaining extremely low impurity levels.
  2. Production Process Standardization
    • Guides manufacturers in designing controlled production environments to prevent contamination (e.g., heavy metals, oils, or ions).
  3. Testing and Certification
    • Sets mandatory chemical and physical properties (e.g., pH, refractive index, biuret content) for lab testing and quality checks.
  4. Regulatory and OEM Compliance
    • Helps DEF manufacturers meet the requirements of vehicle OEMs, and supports compliance with global emission regulations (Euro VI, EPA Tier 4).
  5. Benchmark for Product Consistency
    • Acts as a universal quality reference for batch-to-batch consistency and global export.
