Foreword
Table 1 of Clause 4 in this Standard is mandatory (except for the test method), the rest
is recommended.
This Standard is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Standard replaces GB 12981-2003 “Motor vehicle brake fluids”; compared with
GB 12981-2003, main technical changes are as follows.
- ADD the content of warnings involving the use safety in this Standard;
- CHANGE Clause 1 “Scope” of this Standard;
- DELETE “Terms and definitions” in this Standard; MODIFY the heading of Clause
3 TO “Product classification and marking”, the corresponding contents are
modified, too;
- DELETE silicone brake fluids in Clause 3 of this Standard, that is, HZY5 contains
only products corresponding to the international general DOT5.1; ADD HZY6
corresponding to class6 in ISO 4925.2005; ADD the content related to product
markings;
- The requirements and test methods in Clause 4 are listed in Table 1 and Table 2
respectively; in Table 1, the determination of pH value refers to the method in
Annex D, not GB/T 7304; at the same time add Annex D “Determination method
for pH value of brake fluids”;
- In Table 1 of Clause 4, DELETE the hiding power figure used in the low-
temperature fluidity and appearance, water tolerance and fluid compatibility items;
in the rubber adaptation item, DELETE the test at 70 °C; ADD determination of
volume increment of SBR cup;
- In Table 2 of Clause 4, ADD the rust resistance item; MODIFY the stroke simulation
test item TO the recommend item;
- In Annex F, the formula for calculating the hardness change of the rubber cup is
changed from ΔH = H2 - H1 to ΔH = H1 - H2;
- ADD Test Method B in Annex H;
- MODIFY the name of Annex I TO. test method for water tolerance and compatibility
brake fluids; USE compatibility fluid’s national standard sample in the compatibility
test.
This Standard uses the re-drafting method to amend and adopt ISO 4925. 2005 “Road
vehicles - Specification of non-petroleum-base brake fluids for hydraulic systems”
Motor vehicle brake fluids
WARNING. This product is not classified as flammable dangerous goods, but it
may irritate eyes and skin, so it shall rinse with water immediately once exposed
to this product; this product has a corrosion effect on the paint.
1 Scope
This Standard specifies the requirements and test methods, inspection rules and
marking, packaging, transportation and storage of non-petroleum-based brake fluids
for hydraulic braking and hydraulic clutch systems of motor vehicles.
This Standard applies to motor vehicle brake fluids contacting with sealing parts made
of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) or ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM),
using non-petroleum-based raw materials as base fluids, and added with a variety of
additives.
This Standard does not apply to motor vehicle brake fluids used in polar environmental
conditions.

3 Product variety and markings
3.1 Product variety
This Standard involves a product series of on-petroleum-based brake fluids for
hydraulic braking and hydraulic clutch systems of motor vehicles. The product series
is named HZY, wherein H, Z and Y are respectively the first letter of the Chinese
phonetic alphabet of the first Chinese character of “Synthesis”, “Brake” and “Fluid”.
According to the different requirements for the working condition temperature and
viscosity, the product is divided into 4 classes, i.e. HZY3, HZY4, HZY5, HZY6, which
respectively correspond to Class3, Class4, Class5.1, Class6 in the International
standard ISO 4925.2005, and HZY3, HZY4, HZY5 correspond to DOT3, DOT4,
DOT5.1 brake fluid type of US Department of Transportation.
3.2 Product markings
The makings of brake fluid products shall be at least marked. product class “motor
In the absence of raw material and process condition change that may affect the quality
of the product, the factory-exit cycle test items include. evaporation performance,
corrosion, rubber adoptability once a month.
5.1.2 Type inspection
The type inspection items are all the inspection items specified in Table 1 of Clause 4
(the inspection items specified in Table 2 may also be included in the agreement
between supply and demand parties). Type inspection shall be carried out every 2
years.
The type inspection is carried out in the following cases.
a) when determining the prototype of the product;
b) when the line of production is changed or the production is transferred to other
factories;
c) when there are significant technical changes of raw materials, production
processes or operating procedures that may affect product performance, in the
formal production;
d) when the production of the product is restored after a long period of halt;
e) when there is a great difference between the results of the factory-exit...
