Scope:

The Standard is an adoption with U.S. and Canadian deviations of the identically titled ISO (International Organization of Standardization) standard ISO 22734. The standard applies to the construction, safety, and performance requirements of modular or factory-matched hydrogen gas generation appliances, herein referred to as hydrogen generators, using electrochemical reactions to electrolyse water to produce hydrogen.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of international standards regarding hydrogen generators using water electrolysis. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of CSA Fuel Cell Technical Committee, certification bodies, and the industry. It will provide the industry with a new standard to meet the requirements of new advancement in technology. This will meet the strategic needs of the following key interests: a) ensuring that the latest innovative/technology/safety features are available for users, b) addressing needs of regulators by providing suitable requirements; and c) supporting certification bodies.
