Hydrogen dispenser

1 Scope

This document specifies the technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules,
marking, packaging, transportation, storage, installation and maintenance of hydrogen
dispensers.

This document is applicable to the hydrogen dispenser with a nominal working pressure
not greater than 70MPa for the hydrogen dispensing facility to refuel hydrogen powered
vehicle. This standard may also serve as a reference for hydrogen dispensing facilities
such as hydrogen powered ships, hydrogen powered trams, hydrogen powered aircrafts,
hydrogen powered engineering vehicles and hydrogen fuel power generation devices.
