Hydrogen generators using fuel processing technology. Part 1: Safety

This standard establishes safety requirements for hydrogen generators that utilize fuel processing technology. It specifies the necessary technical measures and operational guidelines to ensure the safe design, construction, installation, and commissioning of such equipment. The document addresses potential hazards associated with hydrogen production and distribution, covering aspects such as pressure containment, leak prevention, and electrical safety. By defining clear criteria, it aims to minimize risks to personnel and property during normal operation and foreseeable abnormal conditions. The scope includes requirements for materials selection, system monitoring, and emergency shutdown procedures specific to fuel-based hydrogen generation systems. It provides a framework for manufacturers and users to evaluate safety performance and compliance. The guidelines are intended to be applied across various industrial and commercial applications where hydrogen is produced on-site for fuel or process purposes. Adherence to these specifications supports the overall integrity of hydrogen generation infrastructure.
