National Mission-Critical Fuel Testing Laboratory
Cradle-to-Grave Life-Safety Fuel Quality Management Workflow
Protecting Emergency Power. Connecting the Fuel Stream. Preserving the Evidence.
The National Fuel Stream
FOI Laboratories is a national mission-critical fuel testing laboratory serving multiple layers of the fuel stream, from distribution and transportation through delivery, storage, emergency power, and critical infrastructure.

Fuel Quality Continuity
FOI developed a Cradle-to-Grave Life-Safety Fuel Quality Management Workflow bridging the life-safety objectives of NFPA 110, NFPA 99, and NFPA 101, connecting fuel-quality testing, documented evidence, corrective action, verification, and continuing management.
Through our National Life-Safety Continuity Protocol, we guide and educate the public, engineers, facility managers, service providers, and fuel professionals on how to understand and adopt a consistent ten-stage fuel-quality management workflow.
Our workflow complements existing engineering, maintenance, inspection, and reliability systems without replacing their responsibilities or authority.
Fuel testing measures condition at a point in time. Our workflow connects the evidence, corrective actions, verification, and history from one event to the next.
Our Ten-Stage
Continuity Workflow
Explore the sequence. Select a stage.
Identify
Connect the site, asset, fuel, and sampling point to an identifiable event.
Purpose-Built FOI LIMS
Built Around the Laboratory. Designed for Continuity.
FOI Laboratories developed a new Laboratory Information Management System to connect fuel sample identity, laboratory performance, results, corrective-action documentation, verification, and historical fuel-quality records.
The system supports FOI's nationwide Cradle-to-Grave Fuel Quality Management Workflow while complementing existing engineering, maintenance and reliability platforms.
