The most important standards for refueling gaseous hydrogen
ISO standards series 19880-1 to 19880-10
The ISO 19880 series is the central standard for hydrogen refueling stations (HRS). It comprises ten parts, with ISO 19880-1 forming the basis. Parts 2-7 describe specific HRS components. ISO 19880-8 and -9 regulate the determination of hydrogen quality, referring to ISO 14687. Grade D (99.97% H2 purity) is recommended for fuel cells. The European standard DIN EN 17124, based on ISO standards, specifies fuel cell quality for public hydrogen refueling stations in Europe.
AFIR
The Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation is a binding EU regulation. It sets targets for alternative fuel infrastructure, including hydrogen, charging infrastructure and power supply. For hydrogen, it requires refueling stations every 200 km along the TEN-T network with specific capacity and pressure requirements by 2031. The AFIR prescribes certain technical standards and obliges EU member states to submit a National Strategic Framework by the end of 2025 to implement the targets.
UN ECE-R134
Is one of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and regulates the Uniform provisions concerning the approval of motor vehicles and their components with regard to the safety-related characteristics of hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles (HFCV)
ISO 19880
The series of ISO standards formulates requirements for refueling with gaseous hydrogen, from general requirements to dispensing equipment and dispensing systems to hoses and hose assemblies.
DIN EN 17127
The European standard specifies minimum requirements for, among other things, the handling, design, commissioning, operation, inspection and maintenance of these refueling stations. The standard is aimed at the refueling of light hydrogen-powered road vehicles, but also covers requirements and guidelines for the refueling of medium and heavy road vehicles (such as buses and trucks).
