Project need:

This proposed New Standard is being developed as a new Joint Canada-U.S. National Standard. It will provide the industry with harmonized requirements for mobile and portable hydrogen fueling units. 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.
