DS Special (Section 5.2.2)

Note 1: The term µm(c) denotes that particle size measurements are carried out using an automatic particle counter
that has been calibrated in accordance with ISO 11171.

The distribution method is intended to be the particle size distribution in the flushing media used to flush
components or the particle size distribution of the fluid used at end of line test stands. Measurements shall
be taken just before the end of the flushing or testing phase. Flushing methodology and flushing
parameters such as type of fluid, temperature, time of flushing, filtration system of the flushing media are
being defined in component specifications.

In order to minimize measuring errors, it is necessary to consider an adequate number of components in

order to obtain an amount of at least 2 mg of contaminant per analysis, i.e. minimum total surface area of
20- 400 cm² or minimum total volume of 0.2 - 2 liters (depending on contamination level).
The external surface areas of small components (e.g. fittings, connectors or adaptors, etc.) can be included
in the assessment in case of a comparable contamination level with respect to the wetted surface area.

5.1.2 Maximum Particle Size

The particle code specifies the maximum allowable particle size (Table 2) in accordance with the particle
size classes defined in ISO 16232-10. Based on the specific component and the intended application the
particle code can be specified accordingly. This maximum allowed dimension is defined with respect to the
material and the bi-dimensional shape of the particle. Particle code 0 indicates that no maximum particle
size is specified.
See Appendix A for examples of how to measure particle size in accordance with ISO 16232-7.

5.2 COMPONENT CLEANLINESS SPECIFICATION

5.2.1 Recommended Component Cleanliness

Tables 3a and 3b list the recommended cleanliness levels and codes for components or component
families.
It is recommended that a design engineer should refer to these tables when defining the cleanliness
requirements, but ultimately the design engineer must specify the required component cleanliness on the
drawings based on the specific application requirements. Special cleanliness codes can be defined
following the procedure outlined in Section 5.2.2.
If the design engineer is not sure what cleanliness code should be used, he/she should contact the
Hydraulic / Driveline Engineering team and Supplier Quality Engineering (SQE) for assistance.

Note 1:
Maximum particle size for these components may be exceeded by only one particle in size up to the next level at a
production sample rate of less than 10%. For example, components with a particle code 6 may have only one particle
up to 800µm maximum particle size allowed per 10 inspected components.
Note 2:
It is intended to raise the recommended area based component cleanliness by one level after a transition period (time
to be mutually agreed between Product Engineering, Purchasing, and SQE) to allow suppliers to align their
manufacturing processes, i.e. the recommended component cleanliness will become AC6 instead of AD6.

Note 1:
The value 0 indicates that the Maximum Allowable Particle Size is not specified. This is the current approach of the
flushing procedure for transmissions/gearboxes. It is recommended, whenever possible for future developments, to
give an indication of the Maximum Allowable Particle Size according to the filtration system, the flushing procedure
and the sensitivity of the hydraulic components of the specific transmissions.
Note 2:
It is intended to raise the recommended area based component cleanliness by one level after a transition period (time
to be mutually agreed between Product Engineering, Purchasing, and SQE) to allow suppliers to align their
manufacturing processes, i.e. the recommended component cleanliness will become AD4 instead of AE6.

5.2.2 Special Component Cleanliness

A special component cleanliness code can be created by selecting the method, the required cleanliness
level and the maximum particle size according to Section 5.1.

With respect to the various cleanliness levels, the special (S) cleanliness level designation allows for
adjustment of the contamination distribution or the maximum allowed weight of contamination based on
special application requirements. When using the special cleanliness level the design engineer must
specify the maximum contamination limit per the specified contamination determination method on the
drawing beneath the CNH ENS0103 Cleanliness Symbol according to section 7.1.

5.3 EXTRACTION METHODS

ISO 18413 outlines guidelines for selecting contaminant extraction and analysis procedures as well as
guidelines for reporting. Recommended contaminant extraction methods for the various components are
outlined in Table 4. Other processes must be approved by SQE.

TABLE 4: Guidelines for the Selection of Contamination Extraction Methods, ISO 18413:2015(E)

6. CLEANLINESS AUDIT

The method of compliance to cleanliness requirements for each supplier and product family will be defined
through the supplier’s control plan. Acceptable methods to show compliance can include but will not be
limited to a continuous monitoring of the process (long-term statistics, I-MR chart) or through periodic
audits. SQE is in charge of determining the requirements placed in the control plan based on the maturity
of the supplier process and product family. Verification of the results and maintaining corrective actions in
the case of non-conformance is the responsibility of SQE and Product Engineering.

Evidence of the supplier’s conformance to the control plan must be submitted at the time of PPAP
(Production Part Approval Process) or at defined intervals as defined within the control plan.

7. DESIGNATION ON DRAWINGS AND IN STANDARDS

This specification must be used in all new component drawings and existing drawings subject to a major
revision. In addition, all CNH Industrial engineering standards released or revised after the issue date of
this specification should reference this specification as needed.

7.1 CLEANLINESS SYMBOL

The design engineer must place a CNH ENS0103 Cleanliness Symbol on the drawing to specify the
required component cleanliness. The symbol shall be displayed on the drawing in a highly visible location.

Designation XXX corresponds to the alphanumeric component cleanliness codes as outlined in Section 5,
which respectively indicate the Method, Cleanliness Level and Maximum Particle Size. The code is
displayed without any spaces between the individual elements.

Example of a cleanliness code symbol with a code:

In those instances when the cleanliness symbol is not available, the cleanliness requirement must be
conveyed by means of the following note:

COMPONENT CLEANLINESS MUST COMPLY WITH CNH ENS0103 CODE xxx

7.2 SYMBOL FOR SPECIAL CLEANLINESS REQUIREMENTS

To define a special cleanliness requirement the design engineer must specify the maximum contamination
limits per the specified contamination determination method and the maximum particle size on the drawing
beneath the CNH ENS0103 Cleanliness Symbol.

Example of a cleanliness symbol with a special distribution based requirement:

DS6: 16 / 14 / 10, MAXIMUM 600 m

Example of a cleanliness symbol with a special area based requirement:

AS4: 20 mg / 1000 cm2, MAXIMUM 400 m

Acceptance Criteria Page 12 of 13

7.3 SYMBOL FOR MULTIPLE CLEANLINESS REQUIREMENTS

It is highly recommended to indicate only one cleanliness code for each component drawing. If the design
engineer is not sure what cleanliness code should be used, he/she should contact the Hydraulic / Driveline
Engineering team or Supplier Quality Engineering (SQE) for assistance.

The use of two cleanliness codes on the same drawing is not recommended, but may be required in those
instances when a component is supplied by different suppliers (different locations) using different methods
to evaluate contamination levels. The design engineer must ensure that all cleanliness requirements on a
drawing are technically equivalent for the specified component. SQE and the supplier must agree on which
method will be used.

Example of a cleanliness symbol with two cleanliness codes:

8. CONVERSION OF CLEANLINESS REQUIREMENTS AND CODES

Cleanliness requirement on existing drawings or engineering specifications remain valid, until new
revisions of these documents are released. It is recommended, but not required, to update the cleanliness
requirement on existing drawings subject to a revision.
For updates of drawings with references to legacy and superseded CNH cleanliness standards and CNH
ENS0100 revisions, the design engineer has three options:
1. Specify (as close as possible) the same cleanliness level as required by the legacy standard using
the new cleanliness code from this specification.
2. Apply the recommended component cleanliness code according to section 5.2.1 of this
specification.
3. Specify a special component cleanliness code based on application requirements according to
section 5.2.2 of this specification.

If the design engineer is not sure what cleanliness code should be used, he/she should contact the
Hydraulic / Driveline Engineering team or Supplier Quality Engineering (SQE) for assistance.
