What is fuel quality control?

Fuel quality control is the process of ensuring that the aviation fuel delivered to aircraft meets the standards and specifications required by the industry and the regulatory authorities.
Fuel quality control involves testing, sampling, filtering, monitoring, and documenting the fuel at every stage of the supply chain, from the refinery to the aircraft.
Fuel quality control aims to prevent fuel contamination, degradation, and misfueling, which can cause serious safety and operational issues for aircraft.
