NFPA 407 Standard for Aircraft Fuel Servicing 2017 Edition This edition of NFPA 407, Standard for Aircraft Fuel Servicing, was prepared b

30、y the Technical Committee on Aircraft Fuel Servicing. It was issued by the Standards Council on May 13, 2016, with an effective date of June 2, 2016, and supersedes all previous editions. This edition of NFPA 407 was approved as an American National Standard on June 2, 2016. Origin and Development o

31、f NFPA 407 Active work by NFPA leading toward the development of this standard began in 1951. Since then, the technical committee responsible has made every effort to keep the text up-to-date, and subsequent editions were published almost every year from 1955 to 1975. The 21st edition was issued in

32、1980, and the technical committee completed a partial revision in 1984. The 1990 edition was a complete rewrite that reorganized the design and operational requirements into separate chapters. The requirements for grounding were deleted, and the requirements for bonding were claried. The 1996 editio

33、n was a partial revision. Requirements for self-service fueling and rapid refueling of helicopters were added. The 2001 edition included new requirements for nondriven hydrant carts. The 2007 edition was a partial revision. The 2012 edition added new requirements for vehicles with diesel particulate

34、 lters. The 2017 edition is a complete reorganization of the material, designed to make the document easier to use. The new format includes a general chapter that applies to all types of aircraft fueling facilities and four specic chapters that apply to aviation fueling facilities, airport fueling v

35、ehicles, rooftop heliports, and self-service aircraft fueling. Each of those four chapters is split into a design section and an operation section, and each uses consistent numbering to locate similar topics. This edition incorporates many technical revisions, aimed at clarifying existing requiremen

36、ts, addressing gaps, and updating old or obsolete material. Requirements for rapid refueling of xed-wing aircraft also have been added.AIRCRAFT FUEL SERVICING 407-2 2017 Edition Technical Committee on Aircraft Fuel Servicing Fred A.
