What does the EI produce?
Minimum Requirements
Good
Practice
Best
Factors of Safety/Redundancy
Number of Risk Mitigation Measures
Our deliverables can be any of these – filtration specifications are minimum requirements, most other titles are good practice – this is the same as ‘recommended practice’ which is used in the US. For some topics – particularly environmental protection materials we are required to publish best practice.

Petro2013
EI aviation fuel handling publications issued in upstream
EI/JIG Standard 1530 Quality assurance requirements for the manufacture, storage and distribution of aviation fuels to airports, 1st edition, October 2013
EI Research Report: A qualitative assessment of electrostatic risks in jet fuel handling and distribution, August 2013
So starting with a couple of topics relating to fuel quality – both of which apply upstream of airports.
The key deliverable this year has been the publication of EI/JIG Standard 1530

9. Petro2013 the new standard 1530 has now been published.
The formal press launch will be held in London on 14 November – you are all welcome to attend

10. Petro2013
EI/JIG Standard 1530 Quality assurance requirements for the manufacture, storage and distribution of aviation fuels to airports
Culmination of c450 days of industry drafting resources (inc 21 meetings of working group, totalling 40 days, since April 2011)
Free electronic access to 1530 has been offered to ICAO (for all Member States)
Any company that handles aviation fuels or synthetic aviation fuel components is encouraged to review the requirements and recommendations
1530 includes Annex M ‘Implementing EI/JIG 1530 and how to claim conformance’
Perhaps worth highlighting that the content has taken c450 days of drafting resources
(9 working group members x 40 days in meetings = 360.
WG member drafting time outside of meetings = c50 days
54 people provided feedback, say at least one day each to review and submit comments = 54)

11. Petro2013
The Standard recognises the concept of ‘Alternative Means of Conformance’ with 1530 requirements and provides definition of the process to be followed
The working group is developing a gap assessment tool/checklist to facilitate self-assessment of conformance (against the mandatory requirements)

12. Petro2013
EI Research Report EI Research Report: A qualitative assessment of electrostatic risks in jet fuel handling and distribution, August 2013
Detailed study contracted to Shell Global Solutions, with input from Dr Harold Walmsley, Dr Stephen Hall and conductivity additive suppliers. Draft circulated in 2012 for peer review.
Findings presented to UK MoD Aviation Fuels Committee, March 2013, IATA Technical Fuel Forum, May 2013 and Coordinating Research Council, May 2013
Offers a scientific explanation for the lack of ignition incidents in regions that do not mandate the use of SDA – either insufficient energy in brush discharges, insufficient flammable vapour, or both
Either insufficient energy in spark discharges, insufficient flammable vapour, or both
Proposal has been made to the Defence Standard Executive Committee for the addition of SDA to be optional

Provides mechanical specifications for vessels for use as FWS, filter monitors or microfilter systems
Clarifies: internal epoxy coating requirements (ref to EI 1541); that it is not acceptable for work platforms to be welded or physically attached to vessels; that a specially installed clean-out connection is not required for vessels with an interior diameter of less than 71 cm (28 in.)
Includes option of an automated device to ensure a pre-set dp is not exceeded in service, e.g. proximity sensor, electronic switch, pressure switch, or high point tracker (peak hold reading)

17. Petro2013
EI 1596 continued
Key addition is introduction of standardised templates for vessel data plates and operational data plates
Printed copies of data plates (and 1582 similarity sheets) to be provided to assist record keeping by operators

18. Particular thanks to Sean Condon for technical input.
Petro2013
EI HM 20 Proving of aviation fuelling positive displacement meters, 2nd edition, October 2013
Provides industry-agreed procedures for use of reference meter or volumetric tank for proving of positive displacement aviation meters

Petro2013
New developments in filtration
EI 1582 filter/water separator similarity Electronic version of similarity sheet has been reissued to manufacturers to address feedback.
EI 1590 Specifications and qualification procedures for aviation fuel microfilters
3rd edition is in development. Initial manufacturers feedback has been incorporated.
Will include a new 10 micron category of microfilter, intended for use in distribution systems
Will include 2” and 4” nominal diameter elements (currently all microfilters are 6”)
Draft is currently available for industry review
There are three key filtration projects to be aware of:
Firstly, an updated similarity spreadsheet has been issued for use by manufacturers. This has not introduced any new technical requirements, just amended some of the functionality, and provided extra rows to record plugs/caps and their model number.
Work is underway with manufacturers on a 3rd edition of the microfilter specification, EI Developments are intended to encourage uptake in distribution systems

21. EI 1550 Filtration handbook
Petro2013
EI 1550 Filtration handbook
Draft 2nd edition has been reviewed with filter manufacturers and EI committee
Includes four new chapters (DP, filter installations, management of change and plugs/caps)
Includes significant updates to seven other chapters
A draft has been issued for industry review until 16 Dec. See
Please provide your feedback
Moving on to our filtration handbook, we are at an advanced stage of drafting the 2nd edition.
Any topics for inclusion are welcome from any operators – please the EI

22. Petro2013
EI 1550 continued
Particular thanks to Kyriakos Gennadis and the team at ofc Aviation Fuel Services S.A. at Athens International Airport

23. EI 1529 Aviation fuelling hoses and hose assemblies, 7th edition
Petro2013
EI 1529 Aviation fuelling hoses and hose assemblies, 7th edition
All global hose suppliers have been contacted for technical input
Confirmation that 1529 contains important differences to ISO 1825, which should be maintained
Draft 7th edition will be issued for manufacturer/stakeholder review, 4Q 2013
EI 1584 Four inch hydrant system components and arrangements, addendum to 3rd edition
Requirements for production quality assurance
You heard earlier this week about aviation fuelling hose. The EI is custodian of one of the two global hose specifications, and is currently preparing a 7th edition. All of the known global hose suppliers have been contacted for their technical input, and several companies have met with the EI committee to discuss the content. There will be increased alignment with ISO 1825 – the international standard for hoses – but it has been reaffirmed that some of the additional test requirements in 1529 are important to retain.
A draft of the proposed 7th edition will be made available for review later this year.

24. Includes recommendations based on experiences at Buncefield and Miami
Petro2013
EI Recommended Practice 1540 Design, construction, commissioning, maintenance and testing of aviation fuelling facilities, 5th edition
