scope:

This Standard specifies the minimum design, construction, operation, maintenance, and emergency response requirements for the storage, handling, and dispensing of aviation fuels at aerodromes.

This Standard specifies requirements for

a) the safety of aerodrome employees and the travelling public;

b) the provision of clean, dry, and on-specification aviation fuel; and

c) the protection of property and the environment associated with the storage, handling, and dispensing of aviation fuels.

In this Standard, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the Standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the Standard.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.

The values given in SI units are the units of record for the purpose of this Standard. The values given in parentheses are for information and comparison only.
