What is EI/JIG 1530 and why is it important for aviation fuel quality
EI/JIG 1530 is a joint standard published by the Energy Institute (EI) and the Joint Inspection Group (JIG), which provides guidance on the maintenance of aviation fuel quality from its point of manufacture through to delivery to airports. The standard covers the design, construction, operation and maintenance of aviation fuel storage and distribution facilities, as well as the inspection and testing of aviation fuel products.
The standard aims to ensure that aviation fuel meets the stringent specifications required by aircraft manufacturers and operators, and that it is free from contamination that could compromise safety or performance. The standard also helps to prevent environmental damage and reduce operational costs by minimizing fuel losses and waste.
EI/JIG 1530 is widely recognized and adopted by the aviation industry as a benchmark for best practice in aviation fuel handling. The standard is updated regularly to reflect the latest developments and innovations in technology, regulations and standards. The latest version of the standard, EI/JIG 1530 Edition 2, was published in November 2020 and is available as a PDF document from the EI website[^1^].
EI/JIG 1530 Edition 2 introduces several new or revised requirements for aviation fuel quality assurance, such as:
The adoption of a risk-based approach for the design and operation of aviation fuel facilities, based on the principles of hazard identification, risk assessment and risk mitigation.
The inclusion of additional guidance on the management of change (MOC) process, to ensure that any changes to facilities, equipment, procedures or personnel are properly evaluated and implemented.
The alignment of the inspection and testing frequency requirements with the latest industry standards and practices, such as ASTM D1655, ASTM D7566 and IATA Guidance Material.
The incorporation of new or updated specifications and test methods for aviation fuel products, additives and filtration systems, such as ASTM D8073 for microbial contamination detection and EI 1598 for filter monitors.
The enhancement of the training and competency requirements for personnel involved in aviation fuel handling and quality control, including the use of online training modules and competency assessments.
EI/JIG 1530 Edition 2 also provides a self-assessment tool to help users evaluate their conformance to the standard and identify any gaps or areas for improvement. The self-assessment tool consists of a series of questions covering each section of the standard, with references to the relevant clauses and guidance. The self-assessment tool is available as a PDF document from the EI website[^1^].
EI/JIG 1530 Edition 2 offers several benefits for the aviation industry and its stakeholders, such as:
It helps to ensure the safety of passengers and crew by reducing the risk of fuel contamination and quality issues that could affect aircraft performance or cause engine failure.
It supports the efficiency and reliability of aviation operations by minimizing fuel losses, waste and rejections, and by facilitating the acceptance of fuel deliveries from different sources.
It promotes the harmonization and consistency of aviation fuel quality standards and practices across the global supply chain, reducing complexity and confusion for fuel suppliers, distributors and users.
It fosters a culture of continuous improvement and innovation by incorporating the latest developments and technologies in aviation fuel quality assurance, such as microbial contamination detection, filter monitor replacement and online training.
It enables the integration and compatibility of aviation fuel quality requirements with other industry standards and regulations, such as IATA Fuel Quality Pool (IFQP), ICAO Annex 14 and ISO 9001.
