Hydrogen Infrastructures are currently being built up to support the initial commercialization of the fuel cell vehicle by multiple automakers. Three primary markets are presently coordinating a large buildup of hydrogen stations: Japan; USA; and Europe to support this. Hydrogen Fueling Station General Safety and Performance Considerations are important to establish before a wide scale infrastructure is established. This document introduces the ISO Technical Specification 19880-1 and summarizes main elements of the proposed standard. International Standards Organisation (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 197, Working Group (WG) 24, has been tasked with the preparation of the ISO standard 19880-1, to define the minimum requirements considered applicable worldwide for the hydrogen and electrical safety of hydrogen stations. This report includes safety considerations for hydrogen station equipment and components, control systems and operation.
