M/349 - Feasibility study
Mandate addressed to CEN,CENELEC and ETSI for the elaboration of a feasibility study in the area of hydrogen and fuel cells
Mandate M/349 requests CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI to develop a feasibility study focused on hydrogen and fuel cells. The study aims to assess the technical and standardisation needs in this area to support the development and deployment of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies. This initiative seeks to identify gaps and opportunities for harmonised standards to facilitate market growth and regulatory compliance. The mandate was subject to approval under resolution CEN/BT C65/2004.
Purpose
The mandate M/349 aims to commission a feasibility study concerning hydrogen and fuel cells. It is addressed to the three European standardisation organisations: CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI. The focus is to assess the potential for developing standards related to hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.
Standardisation request
CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI are requested to collaborate on producing a feasibility study. This study will explore the landscape of hydrogen and fuel cell applications and identify areas where harmonised European standards could support market development and regulatory frameworks.
Expected deliverables
The primary deliverable is a comprehensive feasibility study. This document should evaluate current standards, market needs, technological challenges, and opportunities for standardisation in hydrogen and fuel cell sectors. It will provide recommendations for subsequent standardisation activities.
Context
Hydrogen and fuel cells represent emerging technologies with significant potential for energy, transport, and environmental sectors. Developing a coordinated European approach through standardisation can facilitate safety, interoperability, and market acceptance. This mandate (M/349), referenced in resolution CEN/BT C65/2004, reflects the EU’s strategic interest in supporting innovation and sustainability via harmonised standards.
This mandate covers the elaboration of a feasibility study in the area of hydrogen and fuel cells, focusing on potential standardisation needs related to these technologies and their applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
A European Standardization Mandate is a formal request from the European Commission to the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI) to develop European standards (ENs) in support of EU legislation and policies. Mandates are issued under Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 and help ensure that products and services meet the essential requirements set out in EU directives and regulations.
M/349 is a European Standardization Mandate titled "Mandate addressed to CEN,CENELEC and ETSI for the elaboration of a feasibility study in the area of hydrogen and fuel cells". Mandate addressed to CEN,CENELEC and ETSI for the elaboration of a feasibility study in the area of hydrogen and fuel cells There are 0 standards developed under this mandate.
Standards developed in response to a mandate and cited in the Official Journal of the European Union become "harmonized standards". Products manufactured in compliance with harmonized standards benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation, facilitating CE marking and market access across the European Economic Area.
