Part 2: Fuel cell modules FOREWORD1) 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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 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 62282-2 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 105: Fuel cell technologies. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 105/73/FDIS 105/77/RVD Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table.

62282-2 ” IEC:2004 – 9 – INTRODUCTIONFuel cell modules, as defined later, are electrochemical devices which convert continuously supplied fuel, such as hydrogen or hydrogen rich gases, alcohols, hydrocarbons, and oxidants to d.c. power, heat, water and other by-products. NOTE The term fuel cell module describes a subassembly that could comprise slightly more than a stack, for example, sensors, enclosure. This assembly is intended to be integrated into an end product by a systems integrator.
62282-2 ” IEC:2004 – 11 – FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES –
Part 2: Fuel cell modules 1 Scope This part of IEC 62282 provides the minimum requirements for safety and performance of fuel cell modules. This standard applies to fuel cell modules with the following electrolyte chemistry:
– alkaline;
– proton exchange membrane (including direct methanol fuel cells);
– phosphoric acid;
– molten carbonate;
– solid oxide fuel cell modules. Fuel cell modules might be provided either with or without an enclosure and might be operated at significant pressurization levels or close to ambient pressure. This standard deals with conditions that can yield hazards to persons and damage outside the fuel cell modules only. Protection against damage to the fuel cell modules internals is not addressed in this standard, provided it does not lead to hazards outside the module. These requirements may be superseded by other standards for equipment containing fuel cell modules as required for particular applications. This part of IEC 62282 is not applicable for road vehicle applications. This standard is not intended to limit or inhibit technological advancement. An appliance employing materials or having forms of construction differing from those detailed in the requirements of this standard may be examined and tested according to the intent of these requirements and, if found to be substantially equivalent, may be considered to comply with the standard. The fuel cell modules are components of final products. These products require evaluation to appropriate end-product safety requirements.

See 3.13 and 3.22. 4 Requirements 4.1 General safety strategy This standard deals with conditions that can yield hazards to persons and damage outside the fuel cell modules only. Protection against damage to the fuel cell module internals is not addressed in this standard, provided it does not lead to hazards outside the module. NOTEProvided it is used in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification, protection against internal damage of the fuel cell module itself is the responsibility of the fuel cell module manufacturer. Based on the quantity of fuel and other stored energy (for example, flammable materials, pressurized media, electrical energy, mechanical energy, etc.) in the fuel cell module, there is a need to eliminate potential hazards. The general safety strategy for the fuel cell module shall be established according to the following sequence: a) eliminate hazards outside the fuel cell module, when such energy is released nearly instantaneously, or
b) passively control (for example, burst disks, release valves, thermal cut-off devices) such forms of energy to ensure a release without endangering the ambient, or c) actively control such forms of energy (for example, by electronic control equipment included in the fuel cell module, which enforces adequate counter-measures based on the evaluation of sensor signals). In this case, the remaining risk due to failures in such control equipment shall be investigated in detail. Guidance for safety critical components can be found in IEC 61508. Alternatively, the hazard may be communicated to the fuel cell system integrator, or d) provide appropriate safety markings, concerning the remaining risks of hazards. Using the techniques described above, special care shall be taken to address the following: – mechanical hazards – sharp surfaces, tripping hazards, moving masses and instability, strength of materials, and liquids or gases under pressure; – electrical hazards – contact of persons with live parts, short circuits, high voltage; – EMC hazards – malfunctions of the fuel cell module when exposed to electromagnetic phenomena or malfunctions of other (nearby) equipment due to electromagnetic emissions from the fuel cell module;
62282-2 ” IEC:2004 – 25 – – thermal hazards – hot surfaces, release of high temperature liquids or gases, thermal fatigue;– fire and explosion hazards – flammable gases or liquids, potential for explosive mixtures during normal or abnormal operating conditions, potential for explosive mixtures during faulted conditions; – malfunction hazards – unsafe operation due to failures of software, control circuit or protective/safety components or incorrect manufacturing or mis-operation; – material and substance
