IEC 62282-3-100:2019 is available as IEC 62282-3-100:2019 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.
IEC 62282-3-100:2019 applies to stationary packaged, self-contained fuel cell power systems or fuel cell power systems comprised of factory matched packages of integrated systems which generate electricity through electrochemical reactions. This document is applicable to stationary fuel cell power systems intended for indoor and outdoor commercial, industrial and residential use in non-hazardous areas. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) recognition that fuel carrying components qualified to leakage standards (soundness) need not be considered as potential flammable leak sources;
b) new annex for small power systems; and
c) clarifications for numerous requirements and tests

Technologies des piles à combustible - Partie 3-100: Systèmes à piles à combustible stationnaires - Sécurité

IEC 62282-3-100:2019 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62282-3-100:2019 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente.
L’IEC 62282-3-100:2019 s’applique aux systèmes à piles à combustible autonomes assemblés pour être stationnaires ou aux systèmes à piles à combustible d’un ensemble assemblé en usine de systèmes intégrés qui génèrent de l’électricité par réactions électrochimiques. Le présent document s’applique aux systèmes à piles à combustibles stationnaires destinés à un usage à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur, commercial, industriel ou d'habitation, dans des zones non dangereuses. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2012. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) il n’est pas nécessaire de tenir compte des composants transportant le combustible qui sont qualifiés par rapport aux normes de fuite (intégrité) comme des sources potentielles de fuites inflammables;
b) nouvelle annexe relative aux petits systèmes à piles à combustible; et
c) éclaircissements relatifs à de nombreux essais et exigences.

FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES –
Part 3-100: Stationary fuel cell power systems – Safety
FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote

international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To

this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,

Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC

Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested

in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-

governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely

with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by

agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence

between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in

the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard IEC 62282-3-100 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 105:

Fuel cell technologies.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition

constitutes a technical revision.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous

edition:

recognition that fuel carrying components qualified to leakage standards (soundness)

need not be considered as potential flammable leak sources;
new Annex C for small power systems; and
clarifications for numerous requirements and tests.

The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
105/695/FDIS 105/705/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in

the report on voting indicated in the above table.

This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

A list of all parts in the IEC 62282 series, published under the general title Fuel cell

technologies, can be found on the IEC website.

The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the

stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to

the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
