Fuel cell technologies - Part 6-401: Micro fuel cell power systems - Power and data interchangeability - Performance test methods for laptop computers (IEC 62282-6-401:2025)

IEC 62282-6-401:2025 covers the requirements for the performance test methods of a micro fuel cell/battery power system, consisting of a fuel cell system with secondary battery for laptop computers.
For this purpose, this document covers electrical performance tests for the fuel cell/battery hybrid system. This document also covers performance test methods which focus on the power and data interchangeability of the micro fuel cell power system and laptop computer and other characteristics for balance of plant (BOP) installed for laptop computer applications with a fuel cell/battery hybrid system. This document applies to gaseous hydrogen-fuelled fuel cell power, liquid hydrogen-fuelled fuel cell power, direct methanol fuel cell power, and battery hybrid power pack systems. The following fuels are considered within the scope of this document:
- gaseous hydrogen;
- liquid hydrogen compounds;
- methanol.

l’IEC 62282-6-401:2025 couvre les exigences relatives aux méthodes d’essai des performances d’un système à micropile à combustible/batterie, constitué d’un système à pile à combustible avec une batterie d’accumulateur pour ordinateurs portatifs.
À cet effet, le présent document couvre les essais de performances électriques du système hybride à pile à combustible/batterie. Le présent document traite également des méthodes d’essai des performances portant essentiellement sur l’interchangeabilité de la puissance et des données du système à micropile à combustible et de l’ordinateur portatif et d’autres caractéristiques pour les organes auxiliaires installés pour les applications d’ordinateurs portatifs avec système hybride à pile à combustible/batterie. Le présent document s’applique aux piles à combustible à hydrogène gazeux, aux piles à combustible à hydrogène liquide, aux piles à combustible à méthanol direct et aux systèmes de bloc d’alimentation à batterie.
Les combustibles suivants relèvent du domaine d’application du présent document:
- hydrogène gazeux;
- composés de l’hydrogène liquides;
- méthanol.
