for hydrogen safety, codes and standards - METI/NEDO-DOE-EU workshop to initiate joint RDD
Plan - Annual meeting (Japan, US, EU)
- exchange information and data
- coordinate strategy for international standards
- Initiate single-cell baseline testing at
University of Hawaii - Ballard, GM, UTC donating test hardware,
expertise - Collaboration with JARI, FCTESTNET
- Develop long-term, collaborative test program to
develop data for consensus international standard
17Conclusion/Outlook
- DOE role in domestic arena
- continue to work with industry, standards and
model code development organizations, other
government agencies to unify and coordinate
national codes and standards agenda - help harmonize technical requirements for
hydrogen and fuel cell technologies by conducting
RD to obtain data for performance-based
standards - work with code officials and state/local
jurisdictions to facilitate adoption and
application of latest code and standards - DOE role in international arena
- work with DOT and EPA in global technical
regulation (GTR) process - integrate US agenda for ISO, IEC, IEA, IPHE, and
other key activities - work with Japan and EU to plan and conduct RD to
establish technical basis for requirements in
regulations, codes, and standards - Next steps
- Build consensus international test protocols and
collaborative testing program
