ISO 22241 Certification
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Quality Management
Ensure DEF Quality and Compliance with ISO 22241 Certification
With the growing focus on reducing vehicle emissions and protecting the environment, Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), also known as AdBlue, plays a crucial role in modern diesel engines. Maintaining the quality and purity of DEF is essential for ensuring the proper functioning of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. Globalisocertificates (GCS) provides expert ISO 22241 certification consulting services to help organizations meet international DEF quality standards.
ISO 22241 is an internationally recognized standard that defines the quality requirements, handling, storage, and distribution guidelines for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). Achieving ISO 22241 certification demonstrates your organization’s commitment to product quality, environmental responsibility, and regulatory compliance.
What is ISO 22241 Certification?
ISO 22241 is a global standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies requirements for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), also known as AUS 32 (Aqueous Urea Solution 32.5%).
The standard covers:
- DEF quality specifications
- Production and manufacturing processes
- Storage and handling requirements
- Distribution and transportation guidelines
- Contamination prevention
ISO 22241 ensures that DEF meets strict purity standards required for efficient emission control systems.
