NFPA 407-2017 PDF Download

The NFPA 407-2017 standard is designed to ensure the safety of ground crew, passengers, aircraft, and other property from potential fire hazards related to aviation fuel. This updated edition of the standard provides detailed guidelines and requirements for procedures, equipment, and installations involved in aircraft fuel servicing.

The 2017 edition of NFPA 407 includes provisions for various aspects of fuel servicing, such as aircraft fueling, fueling hoses, fuel servicing vehicles, self-service aircraft fueling, rapid refueling of helicopters, and rapid refueling of fixed-wing aircraft (which is a new requirement in this edition). It also covers non-driven hydrant carts.

To improve usability, the standard has been rewritten and reorganized. It now features a user-friendly format that streamlines referencing, making it easier for facility managers, facility operations staff, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) to understand, implement, and enforce the provisions outlined in NFPA 407.

The standard includes a general chapter that applies to all types of aircraft fueling facilities, as well as specific chapters dedicated to aviation fueling facilities, airport fueling vehicles, rooftop heliports, and self-service aircraft fueling. These chapters consist of sections addressing both design and operation, with consistent numbering to facilitate the location of similar topics.
