Developed by the Air Transport Association (ATA), the ATA SPEC 103 standard is a standard currently applied in the commercial aviation industry and provides guidance for the safe storage and distribution of jet fuel at airports. This standard also includes forms used to record the performance of tests and controls.
The purpose of this standard is to guide the user covering the safe storage and distribution of quality jet fuel at airports as it is applied today in the commercial aviation industry. Because airport refueling operations are so diverse, this standard is not intended to be all-encompassing. When controlling aviation refueling operations, technical knowledge along with competent judgment should always be considered and followed. In addition, operators must comply with all applicable rules, regulations, restrictions, regulations and relevant regulatory requirements for fuel storage and distribution.
Member airlines of the Air Transport Association of America (ATA) recognize the importance of using quality jet fuel to ensure the highest level of flight safety. For this, the ATA SPEC 103 standard has been developed by member airlines to cover fuel distribution facilities and fuel quality control procedures at airports serving airline operations.
This standard is aimed at minimizing the delivery of contaminated or unacceptable jet fuel to jet fuel storage and distribution facilities at airports to airline aircraft and defines widely recognized control procedures and safety controls. However, depending on the complexity of the fuel system and local operating conditions, additional facilities and test procedures at each airport required. In this regard, it is possible to use alternative procedures and non-standard facilities and equipment.
The ATA SPEC 103 standard does not in itself impose any performance obligations on any airline, fuel supplier, fuel storage facility, fuel carrier or any other entity. This standard becomes effective only to the extent that it is adopted by an airline.
Our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, It also provides testing services for jet fuel quality control at airports within the scope of ATA SPEC 103 standard.
