California Hydrogen Fuel Quality Regulation
Karen Hall, National Hydrogen Association


The State of California has been working closely with industry to develop a regulation for hydrogen fuel quality.

After reviewing the comments from the first two drafts, significant changes have been made to the proposed regulation. Again, the California Department of Measurement Standards (DMS) is seeking input and assistance from interested parties to provide comment on this final draft before starting a formal regulatory adoption process.

Comments will be accepted until September 18, 2007.

Once the formal regulatory adoption process begins, the draft will be available for public comment for 45 days.

Details about the process can be found at:

The current version of the draft regulation can be downloaded as a PDF directly at:

A public meeting to discuss comments is expected to take place on October 29, 2007 at 13:30 at CARB.
