This standard focuses mainly on the handling and storage of diesel exhaust fluid in a DEF storage or transfer system. The recommended standard explained in the ISO 22241 document is necessary to preserve the specified quality of diesel exhaust fluid from any point of production to the point where it is filled into the on-board tank of a vehicle.

Section 4 of the standard states, "To avoid contamination of DEF and to resist corrosion of the devices used (containers, tubes, valves, fittings, gaskets, hoses, DEF fluid Dispenser, etc.), all materials in direct contact with DEF during handling, transportation and storage, including sampling, shall be compatible with diesel exhaust fluid". This means that all DEF transfer tank and equipment components should only be constructed from polyethylene or stainless steel.
