Full title and description
St JIS K 2233-2017 — Non-petroleum base motor vehicle brake fluids. This Japanese Industrial Standard specifies requirements, test methods and quality criteria for non-petroleum (typically glycol-based) brake fluids used in motor-vehicle hydraulic braking and clutch systems.
Abstract
JIS K 2233:2017 defines classification, physical and chemical requirements, sampling and inspection procedures, and a set of standardized test methods (boiling points, viscosity, pH, stability, corrosion, cold performance, water tolerance, compatibility, antioxidant behaviour, rubber swelling, etc.) for non-petroleum base motor vehicle brake fluids.

Scope
This Standard applies to non-petroleum base brake fluids intended for motor-vehicle hydraulic brake and clutch systems. It covers classification, required performance levels, sampling and test atmosphere conditions, laboratory test methods for physical and chemical properties, container and marking requirements, and inspection criteria. The 2017 edition aligns with relevant international references where noted and is intended for use by manufacturers, test laboratories and regulatory bodies concerned with brake-fluid quality and safety.
Key topics and requirements
- Classification and quality grades for non-petroleum brake fluids.
- Required properties and limits: equilibrium reflux and wet boiling points, kinematic viscosity, pH, thermal and hydrolytic stability.
- Corrosion resistance testing and metal compatibility requirements.
- Cold-temperature performance and low-temperature viscosity (cold resistance).
- Water tolerance, hygroscopicity and effect of water on performance.
- Compatibility with elastomers (rubber swelling) and material compatibility.
- Sampling methods, standard atmospheric conditions for testing, inspection, container and marking requirements.
- Normative and informative annexes covering stroking performance, evaporative properties and a comparison with related international standards.
Typical use and users
Primary users are brake-fluid formulators, automotive OEMs, component suppliers, independent testing and certification laboratories, quality-control departments and regulators. The Standard is used to specify product performance for procurement, type-approval, quality control and laboratory testing of glycol-based/non-petroleum brake fluids.
Related standards
Key related standards include ISO 4925 (specification for non‑petroleum brake fluids), ISO 3871 (labelling of brake-fluid containers) and subsequent JIS revisions (notably JIS K 2233:2024 which replaces the 2017 edition). Other regional or vehicle-manufacturer specifications (SAE, FMVSS, national standards) may reference or supplement JIS requirements.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: JIS K 2233:2017 is the Japanese Industrial Standard that specifies requirements and test methods for non-petroleum (glycol-type) motor vehicle brake fluids.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers classification, required physical/chemical properties (boiling points, viscosity, pH, stability), compatibility and material tests, sampling and inspection procedures, container/marking requirements, and annexed test methods.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Brake-fluid manufacturers and formulators, automotive OEMs and suppliers, independent testing laboratories, certification and conformity-assessment bodies, and procurement/quality teams use this Standard.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The 2017 edition is superseded — it was replaced by JIS K 2233:2024 (published 21 March 2024). Users specifying or certifying products should refer to the 2024 revision for current requirements.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: It is part of JIS chemical/automotive standards covering brake systems and related materials (for example, companion JIS standards address rubber lubricants, container labelling and related test methods). It also maps to international standards such as ISO 4925 and ISO 3871.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Non-petroleum brake fluid; glycol-based brake fluid; brake-fluid test methods; boiling point; kinematic viscosity; water tolerance; rubber compatibility; JIS K 2233.
