The 1990 Edition of NFPA 407, Standard on Aircraft Fuel Servicing, deleted the requirement for grounding during aircraft fueling and tank truck loadings. This change has caused a great deal of concern in the industry since it impacts not only refueling operations, but also airport construction and maintenance. In order to resolve the more controversial aspects of this change, the Coordinating Research Council (CRC) Electrical Discharges Liaison Group conducted a series of tests at Denver Stapleton Airport, 30 October-8 November 1991. This test program culminated in a demonstration of a simulated aircraft refueling operation conducted with and without the use of ground wires. The demonstration was witnessed by representatives from the FAA, the airline, air cargo and aircraft fueling industries, airport design industry and the Denver Fire Department. The program did not address grounding requirements for purposes other than refueling.
