Fuel Aviation Turbine Engine Emergency Information Panel Sign

EIP Sign – Fuel Aviation Turbine Engine Emergency Information Panel Sign

Fuel Aviation Turbine Engine Emergency Information Panel Sign – The “Fuel Aviation Turbine Engine Emergency Information Panel Sign”serves a critical role in aviation safety by providing essential emergency information regarding turbine engine fuel systems. Its primary purposes include:

1. Emergency Response Guidance: This sign provides clear and concise information for first responders in the event of an emergency, such as a fuel spill, fire, or accident involving aircraft with turbine engines. It allows them to quickly understand the type of fuel involved and the appropriate measures to take.
2. Hazard Identification: It alerts personnel about the presence of aviation turbine fuel (Jet-A or other types), which can be highly flammable, and provides information about the specific fuel in use, helping to mitigate risks associated with its handling.
3. Compliance: This sign helps facilities comply with aviation safety regulations, ensuring that emergency information is readily available and easily accessible as required by aviation and safety authorities.
4. Safety Awareness: It promotes safety awareness among aviation personnel, technicians, and ground staff, reducing the risk of accidents due to improper fuel handling or emergency response.

The Fuel Aviation Turbine Engine Emergency Information Panel Sign clearly displays UN 1863, HAZCHEM 3Y, and fields for emergency contact details — essential for aviation maintenance facilities, helicopter hangars, fuel farms, bulk storage tanks, civil defence operations, and aerodrome refuelling zones.

Aviation turbine fuel burns hotter and faster than your average backyard petrol, so proper labelling isn’t optional — unless you’d like your hangar turning into an early fireworks display.
For another common flammable liquid used alongside turbine fuel, check out:
➡️ Petrol UN 1203 EIP Sign

Jet A-1 and similar turbine fuels fall under Class 3 – Flammable Liquids, capable of producing explosive vapours — especially in warm conditions or enclosed areas. Learn how they fit into NZ’s DG classification system in:
➡️ Understanding Dangerous Goods Classes 1–9

With a 3Y HAZCHEM code, responders are directed to use foam fire suppression and wear breathing apparatus, due to the intense heat and toxic combustion products. For a full breakdown of what each part of the HAZCHEM code means for NZ and Australian emergency crews, see:

FAQs

1. Why do I need a Fuel Aviation Turbine Engine Emergency Information Panel Sign?
Because aviation turbine fuel is a controlled dangerous good. NZ Transport and WorkSafe NZ require compliant signage to alert first responders in case of leaks, spills, or fire. It helps prevent confusion between Jet A-1 and AVGAS storage during an emergency.

2. Where should it be used?

• On aviation-fuel delivery tankers and trailers

• On bulk storage tanks or depot fuel facilities

• Near airfield refuelling stations and hangar storage bays

3. What information does this EIP include?
It clearly displays:

• UN 1863 — Fuel, Aviation, Turbine Engine

• HAZCHEM 3YE (Fire + Spill response code)

• Emergency contact area for your site or company

• Class 3 Flammable Liquid diamond

How to choose the right mounting options.

Corflute: short-term term less than 2 years outdoors

Thin PVC: Medium term, more than 2 years

ACM: Long term 5 years or more

Supplied as a sticker:

long-term digital print laminated for long-term use. With a life of 5 years or more. We use a Hi Tac vinyl which allows it to be applied to most surfaces.

Magnetic mounting option for the Fuel Aviation Turbine Engine Emergency Information Panel Sign

Flexible, vehicle-grade magnetic placards with the Fuel Aviation Turbine Engine Emergency Information Panel Sign printed on premium vinyl, laminated, and mounted to automotive magnetic sheeting. They stick to ferrous steel panels and remove without residue—ideal for vehicles that only carry DG sometimes.

Who they’re for

• Contractors / couriers who transport Dangerous Goods occasionally

• Hire or multi-use vehicles (no permanent signage)

• Sites that swap classes depending on load (quick changeover)

• Magnet: vehicle-grade sheet, 0.8–1.0 mm thick (30–40 mil), high-energy.

• Face film: outdoor self-adhesive vinyl + UV laminate (gloss).

• Operating temp: suitable from winter cold to summer heat (typical automotive range).

Where they work (and don’t)

• Works on: painted steel panels that are flat, clean, and smooth.

• Doesn’t work on: aluminium, stainless, plastics, composites, heavy body filler; vinyl wraps, ceramic coatings, heavily textured paint.

• If customers have aluminium doors/ute trays, suggest self-adhesive or rigid ACM instead.

Fitment checklist

1. Clean & dry the panel (no wax/polish).

2. Warm, flat magnet—no curl.

3. Apply to flat steel only; press from centre out.

4. Do not bridge panel gaps, ribs or sharp curves.

5. Remove daily to clean/dry both surfaces; store flat.

6. In heavy rain/highway speeds, check edges haven’t lifted.

Care & maintenance

• Remove and wipe after wet weather; store flat (never rolled tight).

• Move position slightly each week to avoid differential fading.

• Avoid use on freshly resprayed paint (allow full cure).

Compliance note

• Magnet is a mounting method. The operator must ensure placards are the correct class, size, and securely affixed for the journey. Some carriers or site rules may require permanent/rigid placards—check your procedure.
