EIHP2 will
also develop a refuelling station layout requirement, analyse
and quantify health, environment and safety risks associated
with onsite hydrogen equipment and assess the requirements for
maintenance and periodic inspection of all related components
and sys-tems. Finally EIHP2 will identify the requirements necessary
to harmonise standards, codes of practice and filling procedures
applicable to refuelling station sub-systems and compo-nents
on a European and global level. For the first time this will
also include the refuelling interface (nozzle-receptacle) between
the filling station and the vehicle also taking into ac-count
the necessary refuelling procedures for fast filling. The outcome
shall be approved re-fuelling connectors.
EIHP2 will
undertake comparative risk and safety analyses with respect
to the release of hy-drogen in confined and semi-confined environments,
such as tunnels, inner-city streets and garages. These experimental
data shall provide sufficient input to enable the partnership
to define the required inputs for hydrogen related standards
and regulations.
EIHP2 in
its attempt for global harmonisation will try to coordinate
such activities between the EU and the USA. Also first contacts
to Japan will be established. Interested experts and tar-get
groups shall be informed in workshops on the results achieved
in EIHP2.
