A.#.1 E"0erience has shown that refiner 0rocessing a!!iti'es> such as corrosion inhibitors>
might be carrie! o'er in trace ?uantities into a'iation fuel !uring refiner 0ro!uction+ In some
cases> this has resulte! in o0erational 0roblems in aircraft fuel sstems+ $oreo'er> these
a!!iti'es can cause 0roblems at le'els which ma not be !etecte! b the stan!ar!
s0ecification testing !etaile! in Table 1+ @hilst the stan!ar! #%.1& states that non-a00ro'e!

#c& in most cases there are no !ata on their effects in aircraft sstems to use to !efine a no-

A.#.& It is therefore not 0ractical for this stan!ar! to re?uire !etaile! chemical analsis of each
0ro!uction batch of a'iation fuel beon! the re?uirements liste! in this stan!ar!+ Instea!> it is
recommen!e! that manufacturing locations ensure that the ha'e a!e?uate ?ualit assurance

use is well !efine! an! controlle!+ An changes in a!!iti'e com0osition/manufacturing source
or refiner 0rocessing con!itions shoul! be subBect to a formal ris= assessment to ensure
