General information
SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalysts can be used for NO
x
- emission reduction. The reducing agent (urea
solution with an urea concentration of 32.5%) in such catalysts reduces the nitrogen oxide emissions.
To ensure efficient operation of the exhaust gas after-treatment system, compliance of the reducing agent
with the quality requirements stipulated in DIN 70070 / ISO 222 41-1 is mandatory.
In Europe, this reducing agent is often offered under the brand name “AdBlue”.
The test methods to determine the quality and characteristics of the reducing agent are specified in the
standards DIN 70071 / ISO 222 41-2. The following table shows the quality characteristics of the reducing
agent together with the associated test methods (extract from ISO 222 41-1).
