Outcomes of AdBlue license holders meeting

At the Hanover IAA 62nd International Motor show in September, an AdBlue license holders meeting was hosted by the VDA with a number of significant outcomes. Of note, it was announced that the fourth and final section of the AUS32 ISO standard is nearly complete. ISO 22241-4 outlines requirements for the refilling interface to deliver AdBlue to vehicles. Due to the corrosive nature of AdBlue, this standard requires that misfillings of AdBlue into diesel tanks be avoided by using specific filling materials and systems, such as the magnetic coupling device in the Elaflex nozzle.

Another significant conclusion of the Hanover meeting was a decision to develop a worldwide quality control system by regularly auditing licensees (of which there are currently 44). The VDA also recognised that multiple participants asked in the meeting for random quality tests of AdBlue on the road in trucks.
