New developments in aviation fuel handling equipment standards The Energy Institute (EI) has taken over as the sole provider of a portfolio of equipment standards and operational recommended practices to facilitate the safe and efficient handling of aviation fuel worldwide. For over 50 years, the EI has provided publications for use by the international aviation fuel handling industry. Over the last decade, 15 of these titles have been produced and published jointly with the American Petroleum Institute (API). After an organisational review, API has confirmed the responsibility for the aviation fuel handling portfolio will be transferred to the EI. The EI is committed to continue to provide the global forum for the standardisation of aviation fuel handling equipment and operational recommended practices, ensuring that they reflect the consensus agreement of international technical specialists and stakeholders. The equipment standards in particular are followed worldwide by manufacturers, and adopted by international airlines, major and national oil companies, into-plane companies and aviation hydrant operators.
