The Fuel cell technologies - Part 6-1: Micro fuel cell power systems - Safety
Document 105/96/PAS, the draft Publicly Available Specification IEC/CD 62282-6-1 - Fuel cell technologies - Part 6-1: Micro Fuel Cell Power Systems - Safety is currently being circulated for approval among the P-members of IEC/TC 105 Fuel cell technologies. This document is also being circulated among the P-members of ISO/TC 197 for the approval of the hydrogen safety related aspects.
ISO/TC 197 members are reminded that their completed ballot
papers should be forwarded to the ISO/TC 197 Secretariat no
later than 5 October 2005. U.S. TAG members should send their
votes on the PAS to Debbie Angerman by Sept. 30 so that the
US vote can be submitted on time.
The document is also being circulated for comments as a committee draft (document 105/95/CD, the committee draft IEC/CD 62282-6-1 - Fuel cell technologies - Part 6-1: Micro fuel cell power systems - Safety). This committee draft is circulated with a view of developing an international standard that will later on cancel and replace the PAS.
In order to meet the IEC/TC 105 deadline, completed comment
forms on the Committee Draft from the P-members of ISO/TC 197
should be forwarded to the ISO/TC 197 Secretariat no later than
28 October 2005. U.S. TAG members should send their votes on
the CD to Debbie Angerman by Oct. 11 so that the US vote can
be submitted on time.
Gaseous hydrogen and hydrogen blends - Land vehicle fuel tanks
The ISO/TC 197 Working Group 6 has completed its work in preparation for the second DIS circulation of ISO/WI 15869 - Gaseous hydrogen and hydrogen blends - Land vehicle fuel tanks. The proposed DIS text is now in the editing process to make sure that the proposed text is in conformity with Part 2 of the ISO/IEC Directives. The five-part standard has been combined in a single document. Tanks covered by this draft international standard are as follows:
Type 1 - Metal tanks;
Type 2 - Hoop wrapped composite tanks with a metal liner;
Type 3 - Fully wrapped composite tanks with a metal liner;
Type 4 - Fully wrapped composite tanks with non-metallic liner.
