Canadian Hydrogen Installation Code
Scope:
Purpose and Scope
The purpose of this code is to establish the installation requirements for hydrogen‑generating equipment for non‑process end use, hydrogen utilization equipment, hydrogen‑dispensing equipment, hydrogen storage containers, hydrogen piping systems, and their related accessories.
It applies to all gaseous and liquid hydrogen applications except the following:
- hydrogen production or use in petroleum refineries and chemical plants as feedstock and directly in‑process production;
- industrial facilities where hydrogen is produced, handled and stored for off‑site end use;
- industrial installations producing hydrogen as a by‑product that is vented to atmosphere;
- cryogenic systems used for hydrogen liquefaction;
- hydrogen installations on board vehicles for onboard use;
- vehicles that use hydrogen for propulsion;
- hydrogen transportation, including hydrogen utility pipeline distribution and transmission pipelines.
Project need:
At the end of the systematic review, the committee has decided to revise the standard.
