1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers additives for aviation fuels (see Specifications D910 and D1655 ) used to inhibit ice formation in aircraft fuel systems.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

A1.1.1 This test method measures the purity of fuel system icing inhibitors (Type III). The test results are used to determine if the inhibitor meets the purity requirements listed in Table 2.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
