Assuring fuel is fit for purpose
Specification – meeting main table values, plus other spec requirements
+
+
Traceability – originally made as aviation fuel and documented through the supply chain
Quality assurance – procedures to prevent contamination

• I have tested a representative sample of the batch and it meets the requirements of DEF STAN 91-91 Issue 7 Amd 3 for all the parameters tested.
• The actual test results and test methods used.
• The batch is a mixture of the following batches:
• Batch A certified by RCQ A
• Batch B certified by RCQ B
• I have these documents in my possession
• I confirm that both RCQ A and RCQ B show that the respective batches meet the requirements of DEF STAN 91-91 Issue 7 Amd 2

The essence of aviation fuel QA
A balance between design of facilities and operating procedures
Typically, poor design means more complicated operating procedures and testing. Whereas good design
(eg segregated and dedicated facilities) means simple procedures and testing.
Design Procedures
