Vortex phase diagram and peak effect have been investigated by the mag
netization measurements for various CeRu2 samples with different quali
ty. The peak effect survives even in the extremely qualified samples a
nd in the magnetic held H parallel to[1 1 1]. Field dependence of the
anomalous magnetization reveals that the strong-pinning region termina
tes at H = 24 kOe and T* = 4.0 K, independent of the quality of sampl
