Details

Ownership of Joint Services Publication (JSP) 426 Volume 3 Leaflet 2 MOD Aerodrome Rescue and Fire Fighting Services transferred to DSA Defence Fire Service Regulator (DFSR) in 2016, where it separated fire safety regulations from ARFF regulations.

Consequently, ARFF regulations were published under cover of a Defence Instruction Notice (DIN) 2016DIN06-010. The JSP has been subjected to a significant rewrite and retitled DSA02 DFSR Defence ARFF Regulations.

The purpose of DSA02 DFSR Defence ARFF regulations is to provide both direction and guidance to Aerodrome Operators and ARFF service providers to establish an ARFF Service at Defence Aerodromes ensuring minimum standards are achieved and are capable of meeting regulatory requirements.
