Transition Plan for Monitor Filter Replacement & WIF Sensor

With the recent clarification in JIG Technical Newsletter 9 (24 Feb 2021), it is clear that operators are now able to include new filter technologies yet to be included in the JIG standards, such as the Parker Velcon CDFX water barrier filter, as part of their Transition Plan which JIG members are encouraged to develop by the end of March 2021. Monitors can still be used up to 31 July 2023 so this will allow operators to fully evaluate the effectiveness of the CDFX for themselves. An excerpt from JIG TN9 is shown below:

Update on EI 1583 7th Edition Filter Monitors

Recently, the Energy Institute (“EI”) confirmed that it will withdraw specification EI-1583 no later than December 31, 2020. However, as detailed in the attached May 2020 IATA, JIG and A4A Bulletin (“Bulletin”), EI-1583 7th edition filter monitors will remain listed in ATA103 and JIG standards. EI has also stated that existing qualifications for such filter monitors will remain valid even after the specification is withdrawn, provided that no changes are made to the design, materials, or construction.

Joint Industrial Announcement on Monitors

The attached announcement from IATA, JIG & A4A provides an update on the current status of the ongoing field trials of ALL new alternative technologies for Filter Monitors.

In summary:
  • The COVID-19 outbreak has caused significant disruption to field trials and will not be able to be completed by previously set datelines. The originally proposed industry roadmap cannot, therefore, be met.
  • The Energy Institute (EI), has confirmed that the EI 1583 specification will be withdrawn at the end of 2020. However, due to the current unavailability of a suitable drop-in replacement for monitors, JIG & ATA103 standards will continue to
