SAE J942_199906

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes for passenger cars, light trucks, and multipurpose vehicles with GVW of 4500 kg (10 000 lb) or less:

a. Minimum performance standards for the windshield washer system.

b. Test procedures that can be conducted on uniform test equipment by commercially available laboratory facilities.

c. Uniform terminology of windshield washer system characteristics and phenomena consistent with those found in guides for the use of engineering layout studies to evaluate system performance.

d. Guides for the design and location of components of the systems for function, servicing of the system, etc.

The minimum performance requirements and test procedures, outlined in this document, are based on currently available engineering data. It is intended that all portions of the document will be periodically reviewed and revised as additional data on windshield washer system performance are developed.
