The answer is yes.  DEF must meet ISO 22241 (Which is an international standard that defines the quality requirements for DEF including production, storage and distribution). We only sell product that meets or exceeds ISO 22241.

The production, handling and transportation of DEF is governed by the ISO 22241 standards. The main points to be aware of are:

• Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) must have a urea concentration of 32.5% by weight. This concentration was chosen because it is has the lowest freezing temperature, 12°F.
• The maximum level of impurities such as calcium and various metals such as iron, copper, zinc and aluminum are clearly specified. These limits are extremely low, to ensure reliable operation of the SCR system

Another important thing to note is that diesel exhaust fluid normally has a shelf life of about two years. That being said, exposure to sunlight or sustained high temperatures can compromise it. Using DEF that is past it's shelf life can cause performance issues and potential maintenance problems.

We sell a large amount of DEF, we order regularly so you can be assured that it is recently manufactured product.
