UFC 4-310-03 is DoD Fuels Laboratory Standards, dated 7 March 2019 and current as of 12 August 2020 [UFC 4-310-03 Summary Sheet].
The document provides general criteria and standard procedures for the design and construction of military land-based laboratory facilities which test liquid fuels [UFC 4-310-03 Summary Sheet]. Its purposes are to: (1) provide uniform requirements for construction of DoD fuels laboratories based on required fuel testing requirements; (2) provide requirements for planning, facility design, and construction documentation for new fuel laboratory facilities; and (3) provide requirements for modernization or expansion [UFC 4-310-03 Summary Sheet].
The publication implements requirements from NFPA 45 (Fire Protection for Laboratories Using Chemicals), NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code), and NFPA 780 (Lightning Protection Systems) [UFC 4-310-03 para 200-01]. Air Force guidance directs that fuel laboratories be designed in accordance with UFC 4-310-03 for new construction, with AF and DoD handbooks taking precedence in case of conflict with national fire codes or building codes [DAFMAN 91-203 para 18.11.1].
