Handbook for approval of hydrogen refuelling stations

The Handbook for approval of hydrogen refuelling stations (HyApproval) EU FP6 project is aimed at developing a handbook facilitating the approval of hydrogen refueling stations. The timeframe is oct 2005 - sep 2007 [ [https://www.hfpeurope.org/uploads/1094/1639/HyApproval_WURSTER_TechDays05_051207_V05.pdf Handbook for approval of hydrogen refuelling stations] ] [ [http://www.ist-world.org/ProjectDetails.aspx?ProjectId=1a28613138394f959c0480840e3ae29e Project details] ]

Funding

HyApproval is funded under the SUSTDEV-1.2.2 New technologies for energy carriers - Hydrogen Specific Targeted Research Project. 1.900.000 Euro. [ [http://www.ist-world.org/ProjectDetails.aspx?ProjectId=1a28613138394f959c0480840e3ae29e Funding SUSTDEV-1.2.2] ]

cope

The goal is to establish a Swiss ISO TC197, WG11 handbook with best practices mechanisms for all EU member states and associated countries with the potential to also apply it to non-EU regions [ [https://www.hfpeurope.org/uploads/1094/1639/HyApproval_WURSTER_TechDays05_051207_V05.pdf Scope] ]

Codes and standards

Codes and standards have repeatedly been identified as a major institutional barrier to deploying hydrogen technologies and developing a hydrogen economy. To enable the commercialization of hydrogen in consumer products, new model building codes and equipment and other technical standards are developed and recognized by federal, state, and local governments.
