SAFII approved by ASTM as training provider

ASTM International said that it has approved the Sustainable Aviation Fuels Institute Inc (SAFII) as a certified training provider for ASTM International.

The distinction allows SAFII to bring industry-accredited training programs to scientists, engineers, and technicians working with sustainable aviation fuels (SAF).

“Our courses will meet the rigorous ASTM standards and also provide participants with valuable hands-on experience in learning and applying ASTM test methods used for SAF,” said SAFII President Cindy Tomei. “This approval underscores our commitment to excellence in training and our mission to empower learners with the hands-on experience they need to conduct reliable and accurate SAF testing in the field.”

SAFII will offer its first ASTM-approved course this fall at SAFII’s headquarters and SAF Testing & Training Lab at 1020 Airpark Drive in Sugar Grove, Ill.

The in-person, hands-on training will focus on Thermal Oxidation Stability of Aviation Fuels (ASTM D3241) and Testing SAF Beyond Breakpoint.

The SAFII was launched in 2024 to unite industry leaders, technical experts, supply chain partners, policymakers, distribution sites and other stakeholders in SAF.

SAFII provides training and education for the jet fuel and SAF industry. SAFII strives to be a go-to resource for legislative awareness, industry insights, research and technology and testing fuel quality for SAF.
