Ships and marine technology — Test procedures for liquid hydrogen storage tank of hydrogen ships

This standard specifies test procedures and requirements for the performance test that shall be conducted in order to confirm the mechanical features of the hydrogen storage tank. These test procedures would be prepared to document the function and safety processes required by classification societies, international standards and/or any administration for hydrogen storage tank of hydrogen ships. Functions that are specific to a manufacturer and any additional tests or specification required by client would not be included.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types

Introduction
Hydrogen offers a reliable way to decarbonise a variety of sectors including the maritime industry, where
it has been historically difficult to meaningfully reduce CO emissions despite the commitments by
governments and the implementation of regulatory measures.
There are technologies available that enable hydrogen to be produced, stored, transported and used as
energy in different ways. Various materials can be produced by hydrogen, including renewable energy,
natural gas, coal and oil. Hydrogen can be transported as a gas by pipelines or in liquid form by ship, much
like liquid natural gas (LNG), and transformed into electric energy to provide homes or industry with power
and also into fuels for cars, trucks, ships and planes.
However, the safe and wide use of hydrogen in marine industry faces several challenges, in particular
the absence of applicable international standards on the safety testing of hydrogen systems. All system
components should be designed and tested for the safety and reliability in handling liquid hydrogen and
thereby the facilitation of decarbonisation with the transition into hydrogen-based clean energy.
In this regard, this document sets up a general test requirement for the liquid hydrogen cargo tank of
hydrogen carrier ships. It is expected that useful information can be provided to the marine industry
stakeholders including ship owners, classification societies and shipyards. Finally, this document aims to
contribute to the growth of relevant industries and benefit all related stakeholders.

Ships and marine technology — Test procedures for liquid
hydrogen storage tank of hydrogen ships
1 Scope
This document specifies general inspection and test requirements for liquid hydrogen cargo tanks on
board hydrogen carrier ships. In the cases of liquefied hydrogen containment systems, the testing activity
depends strictly on the type of storage containment technology identified by the International Code for
[1]
the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code). This document is
applicable to Type C independent metallic double wall type tanks with vacuum insulation having a capacity
of not more than 1 000 cubic metres (m ). It is also applicable to liquid hydrogen cargo tanks which are
designed to transport pure para-hydrogen (not less than 95 % content).
