Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are
cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent
database available at www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 22, Road vehicles, Subcommittee SC 34,
Propulsion, powertrain and powertrain fluids.
This third edition of ISO 22241-4 cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 22241-4:2019), which has
been technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— an alternative magnetic function design has been added;
— Table 1 has been editorially and technically revised.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 22241-4:2023(E)
Diesel engines — NOx reduction agent AUS 32 —
Part 4:
Refilling interface
1 Scope
This document specifies the refilling interface for the NOx reduction agent AUS 32 in conformance with
ISO 22241-1, which is needed to operate converters with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) exhaust
treatment system.
This document specifies the minimum functional and geometric requirements of an open refilling
system, in order to ensure compatibility between the on-board refilling system and the off-board
refilling system. Compatibility conditions for a sealed refilling system are provided in Annex A.
This document applies to commercial vehicles and buses as defined in ISO 3833 and having a gross
vehicle mass of more than 3,5 t, designed to use stationary off-board refilling systems. This document
also applies to the nozzle of stationary off-board refilling systems.
NOTE Throughout this document, the term “NOx reduction agent AUS 32” is abbreviated to “AUS 32”.

3.1
refilling system
off-board system and on-board system, including their refilling interface, for dispensing AUS 32 into the
on-board tank of the vehicle (3.12)
3.2
off-board refilling system
stationary equipment for dispensing AUS 32 into the on-board tank of the vehicle (3.12), consisting
typically of tank, pump, hose and filler nozzle (3.3)
3.3
filler nozzle
interfacing part of the off-board refilling system (3.2), which allows the operator to control the flow
of AUS 32 during the filling, consisting of a nozzle spout with a defined interface geometry and an
automatic shut-off system
3.4
on-board refilling system
equipment of the vehicle (3.12) necessary for refilling AUS 32 and consisting typically of an inlet adapter
(3.6), filler neck (3.5), filler cap (3.7) and tank
3.5
filler neck
interfacing part of the on-board refilling system (3.4) where the opening is formed by the inlet adapter
(3.6) to allow the tank to be refilled
3.6
inlet adapter
permanently fixed part of the filler neck (3.5), having a defined interface geometry and incorporating a
magnet ring for preventing misfilling of AUS 32 into the fuel tank
3.7
filler cap
part which is fitted to the filler neck (3.5) to prevent spillage (3.11) as well as to minimize contamination
of AUS 32 and which is temporarily opened or removed for refilling
3.8
