 What is JIG?
• The Joint Inspection Group (JIG) was originally formed in
the 1970s to coordinate inspections at Joint Venture
locations
• JIG Limited was established in 2002 as a ‘not for profit’
organisation
• The group first developed the JIG Guidelines (now
known as the JIG Standards) as the basis for inspections
of JVs in 1974
• JIG has a full time General Manager who coordinates
and drives JIG initiatives, supported by a Technical
Manager and part-time Administrator
 What is JIG?
• JIG provides guidance on operating standards and the
management of risks associated with aviation fuel
storage, hydrant and into-plane operations
• JIG has no power of enforcement - enforcement is
achieved through individual site management
• IATA has endorsed JIG Standards since Issue 8 (January
2001) IATA is a JIG Member, and JIG is an IATA Strategic
Partner
• Membership has increased rapidly in recent years, and
now stands at 81 member organisations globally
 What does JIG do?
• Maintains and regularly updates JIG Standards based
on input from specialists within the major fuel suppliers,
JIG Member Companies and IATA
• Develops and issues best practices as JIG Bulletins to
address emerging issues – EI/JIG1530, FAME, Aircraft
fuelling issues etc
• Coordinates a systematic inspection programme
carried out by highly trained and experienced inspectors
for approximately 180 JIG (JITS) JV airports
• Tracks inspection findings to close-out through an on-
line tracking system to ensure compliance
 What does JIG do?
• Carefully controls variances from standards by
participating JVs to ensure risks are managed
• Provides training to JIG inspectors and JV Managers
• Distributes lessons learned from incidents, incident
statistics and inspection trends
• Offers technical advice and support through Technical
Committees
• Has established a ‘Training to Inspect to JIG Standards’
Course
• Delivers 2 workshops per year to the industry
• Presents at a number of industry forums
 JIG Standards / Aviation Fuel
Quality Control & Operating Standards

• JIG JV sites operate to the JIG Standards

• JIG members operate some or all of their sites to the JIG Standards
• Currently 4 principal JIG Standards:
JIG 1 Aviation Fuel Quality Control & Operating Standards for
into-plane fuelling services
JIG 2 Aviation Fuel Quality Control & Operating Standards for
Airport Depots
EI/JIG 1530
JIG 4 Aviation Fuel Quality Control & Operating Standards for
Smaller Airports (less than 10 million litres p.a.)

JIG Standards can be used by any Operator providing aviation fuel storage, hydrant or into-
plane services (i.e. not just jointly operated sites)

 JIG Focus Areas
Develop and promote internationally
accepted standards and procedures for
product quality control and for the safe,
effective and efficient handling of
aviation fuel throughout the supply chain
and for aircraft refueling operations
Interact with relevant
authorities and other parties to
influence fuel specifications,
make recommendations
regarding emerging fuel quality
issues, and communicate fuel
quality requirements for jointly
operated systems

Vigorously encourage
compliance with operational
standards at participating
locations through a coordinated Encourage participation from other
inspection programme and suitable 3rd parties, for example aviation
monitoring system fuel suppliers and service companies
 JIG Focus Areas
Promote efficiency and standardisation in
jointly operated systems through the
development of an operational safety Encourage interaction with
management system and other common relevant 3rd parties for
operational and administrative processes example regulators, IATA,
