JIG Global Scale
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)

What working to JIG Standards means…
Operating Standard & Inspection Requirement
• Operating Manual based on JIG Standards – The JV Operating Standard
• JIG Operations Inspection carried out by a JIG inspector (or Inspector who has passed the JIG ‘Training to inspect to JIG Standards’ course annually, or other frequency unanimously agreed by operations management
• JIG Inspector and Site Manager to agree recommendations at the end of the audit
• Management to update action closure (e.g. using the JIG Inspection Tracking System) High priority recommendations to be closed-out at the earliest opportunity

What working to JIG Standards means…
HSSE Reporting & Auditing on the JIG Website
• Monthly HSSE statistics to be reported to JIG
• JIG HSSE committee encourages operations to investigate incidents and help share lessons learned
• 3 yearly HSSE management system audit to be carried out by competent HSSE professional
• JIG HSSE management system gap analysis

What working to JIG Standards means…
Common Process Compliance• JIG JITS JVs to have a 5 year, risk based plan (2010-
2014) to implement relevant common processes
Training• JVs to ensure staff are trained so they can safely and
reliably operate to JIG standards
• JIG experienced inspectors provide valuable operations coaching during their inspections
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 inspection programme and monitoring system
Encourage participation from other suitable 3rd parties, for example aviation fuel suppliers and service companies
JIG Focus Areas
Promote efficiency and standardisation in jointly operated systems through the development of an operational safety management system and other common operational and administrative processes
Encourage interaction with relevant 3rd parties for example regulators, IATA, airports, agencies, ICAO and ACI
Drive continuous
improvement in operational
standards and safety through
the sharing of technical and
safety best practices and
lessons learned, training
workshops and performance
recognition programmes
Operate in accordance with all applicable legislation and regulation
