of 0.3 ~ 0.5 mg/l (ppm). But if it is over 0.5mg/l (ppm) the operator must inform
airline of the content and action must be taken by airlines instruction. The
mixture ratio of water and disinfects is 1: 5, 000.
3) Once filled, the Potable water servicer may only be used for aircraft servicing
after a minimum of 30 minutes, in order to allow the chlorination agent time to
react. The water must be circulated within the servicer during this time to
ensure thorough mixing with the chlorination agent.
4) Water samples for bacteriological examination from airport water supply
systems, serving vehicles and aircraft water systems must be collected
regularly by health authorities and airlines. Sampling must be carried out not
less than four times a year.
5) Bacteriological contamination of the water must not exceed the standards
established by the World Health Organization (WHO) or tHose issued by the
local health authority, if these are more stringent. (# Appendix 2). If the water
supplied to the aircraft is checked by the local health authority, the results must

the sample must be extracted from the backside of filter for visual check and
moisture check. During these checks, when water is detected or the color is
inappropriate, the reason must be identified by sampling the fuel one more time.
f. When being proved as unsuitable, fueling must not be resumed until passing the
second testing. However, for dispenser that uses Hydrant facility, the fuel check
needs to be done during fueling and there is no need to stop the fueling before
any problems are detected.
