The purpose of this Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is to provide the sample selection criteria and endurance time test procedures for SAE Type I aircraft deicing/anti-icing fluids, required for the generation of endurance time data of acceptable quality for review by the SAE G-12 Holdover Time Committee. A significant body of previous research and testing has indicated that all Type I fluids formulated with conventional glycols, as defined in 3.1.1 of AMS1424, perform in a similar manner from an endurance time perspective. This applies to Type I deicing/anti-icing fluids formulated with propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and diethylene glycol only. As a result, Type I deicing/anti-icing fluids containing these glycol bases no longer require testing for endurance times.

The purpose of this Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) is to provide the sample selection and endurance time test procedures for SAE Type II, III, and IV aircraft deicing/anti-icing fluids, required for the generation of endurance time data of acceptable quality for review by the SAE G-12 Holdover Time Committee. The related standard ARP5718 provides the process by which endurance time data is converted to holdover times for publication by regulators and subsequent use by aircraft operators.

This document describes: a the preparatory steps to test experimental Type II, III and IV fluids according to AMS1428; b the recommendations for the preparation of samples for endurance time testing according to ARP5485; c a short description of recommended field spray test; d the protocol to generate draft holdover time guidelines from endurance time data as obtained from ARP5485; e the role of the SAE G-12 Fluids Subcommittee; f the role of the SAE G-12 Holdover Time Subcommittee; g the process for the publication of holdover time guidelines and list of qualified Type II, III and IV fluids. This document does not describe laboratory testing procedures. This document does not include the qualification process for AMS1424 Type I fluids.

Type I deicing/anti-icing fluids containing these glycol bases no longer require testing for endurance times. The methods described in this ARP shall be employed, however, if endurance time testing of a glycol-based Type I deicing/anti-icing fluid is desired or requested by a fluid manufacturer, operator or other organization.
