| Update To NFPA 407 |
|
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) has issued a proposed Tentative Interim Amendment (TIA) to NFPA 407 – Standard on Aircraft Fuel Servicing. TIAs are changes to the standard that occur outside of the normal standard revision cycle and are used to address serious or emergency situations. The TIA issued for NFPA 407 addresses aircraft refueling trucks that are equipped with diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration equipment. Diesel-powered trucks equipped with DPF equipment require occasional filter regeneration, a process that creates extremely high exhaust system temperatures. The proposed TIA includes the following provisions:
- Requirement for DPF refueling truck to have a lockout mode that prevents automatic regeneration when in the vicinity of aircraft
- Exhaust system shielding requirements
- Tailpipe diffuser requirement
- Requirement that DPF regeneration only be performed in approved areas by approved staff
- Requirements for an approved regeneration area
The proposed TIA for NFPA 407 is available here. The NFPA will be accepting comments on the proposed TIA for NFPA 407 until September 11, 2009.
