本SAE标准涵盖了基于二醇、乙二醇醚和乙二醇醚硼酸盐的非石油类机动车制动液，以及用于任何机动车（如客车、卡车、公共汽车或拖车）制动系统的适当抑制剂。这些液体不适用于在北极条件下使用。这些流体设计用于制动系统，制动系统配有由苯乙烯-丁二烯橡胶（SBR）或乙烯、丙烯和二烯三元共聚物（EPDM）制成的橡胶杯和密封件。

This SAE Standard covers motor vehicle brake fluids of the nonpetroleum type, based upon glycols, glycol ethers, and borates of glycol ethers, and appropriate inhibitors for use in the braking system of any motor vehicle, such as a passenger car, truck, bus, or trailer. These fluids are not intended for use under arctic conditions. These fluids are designed for use in braking systems fitted with rubber cups and seals made from styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) or a terpolymer of ethylene, propylene, and a diene (EPDM).
