A number of proposed changes directly relating to hydrogen technologies will be heard.  The Hydrogen Industry Panel on Codes (HIPOC) submitted two proposals, F176 and F214, and they are coordinating their activities with other stakeholder groups.  Other proposals relevant for hydrogen technologies include F174, F175, F177, and F215.  Click here to access the full monograph of code change proposals.
