FOREWORD
1) 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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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 62282-5-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 105:
Fuel cell technologies.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2007, and constitutes
a technical revision.
The major technical changes with respect to the first edition are as follows:
• IEC normative references and definitions have been updated (e.g., hazardous locations,
micro fuel cell power systems, transportable equipment, etc.);
• subclause 4.2.2 has been updated referencing an alternative test method in response to a
comment;
• the limit on flammable atmospheres has been reduced from 50 % of LFL to 25 % of LFL in
4.5.4 and in 7.20;
• subclause 4.14 and the corresponding tests in 7.22 have been updated to include more
effluents and criteria to establish if a system is suitable for indoor or outdoor operation;

62282-5-1 © IEC:2012(E) – 5 –
• specific criteria for oxygen detector sensor performance requirements have been revised
in 7.21;
• subclause 7.18 has been updated with a new test method and new drop heights in
response to comments;
• Table 1 has been added giving limits on emission of effluents using limits drawn from the
micro fuel cell power system standard.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
105/396/FDIS 105/404/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.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62282 series, published under the general title Fuel cell
technologies, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version may be issued at a later date.

FUEL CELL TECHNOLOGIES –
Part 5-1: Portable fuel cell power systems – Safety

1 Scope
This part of IEC 62282 covers construction, marking and test requirements for portable fuel
cell power systems. These fuel cell systems are movable and not fastened or otherwise
secured to a specific location. The purpose of the portable fuel cell power system is to
produce electrical power.
This standard applies to a.c. and d.c. type portable fuel cell power systems, with a rated
output voltage not exceeding 600 V a.c., or 850 V d.c. for indoor and outdoor use. These
portable fuel cell power systems are not to be used in hazardous locations as defined by
IEV 426-03-01 unless additional protective measures are added in accordance with
IEC 60079-0.
This standard does not apply to portable fuel cell power systems that are
a) permanently connected (hard wired) to the electrical distribution system,
b) permanently connected to a utility fuel distribution system,
c) exporting power to the grid,
d) for propulsion of road vehicles,
e) intended to be used on board passenger aircraft.
Fuel cells that provide battery charging for hybrid vehicles where the battery provides power
and energy for propulsion of the vehicle are not included in the scope of this standard
The following fuels and fuel feedstocks are considered within the scope of this standard:
• natural gas;
• liquefied petroleum gas, such as propane and butane;
• liquid alcohols, for example methanol, ethanol;
• gasoline;
• diesel;
• kerosene;
• hydrogen;
• metals (e.g. Mg, Al or Zn) or metal alloys immersed in electrolyte (e.g. aqueous solutions
of salts or alkali) in air or oxygen;
• chemical hydrides.
This standard does not preclude the use of similar fuels or oxidants from sources other than
air provided the unique hazards are addressed through additional requirements.

Figure 1 – Portable fuel cell power systems
The overall design of a portable fuel cell power system anticipated by this standard shall form
an assembly of some or all of the following systems (see Figure 1), integrated as necessary,
to perform designated functions, as follows:
Fuel processing system – chemical processing equipment including any associated heat
exchangers and controls required to convert input fuel to a composition suitable for the fuel
cell stack.
Oxidant processing system – subsystem that meters, conditions, processes and may
pressurize the incoming oxidant supply for use within the fuel cell power system.
Thermal management system – subsystem intended to provide cooling and heat rejection in
order to maintain thermal equilibrium within the fuel cell power system, and, if necessary, to
provide for the recovery and utilization of excess heat and to assist in heating the fuel cell
power systems during start-up.
Power conditioning system – equipment which is used to change the magnitude or
waveform of the voltage, or otherwise alter or regulate the output of a power source.
Automatic control system – assembly of sensors, actuators, valves, switches and logic
components (including process controllers) that maintains the fuel cell power system
parameters within the manufacturer’s specified limits without manual intervention.
Fuel cell module – assembly, including a fuel cell stack(s), which electrochemically converts
chemical energy to electric energy and thermal energy intended to be integrated into a power
generation system.
– 8 – 62282-5-1 © IEC:2012(E)
Fuel supply system – either integral to the portable fuel cell power system or supplied
through a removable and refillable container assembly.
Onboard energy storage system – an internal energy source intended to aid or complement
the fuel cell module in providing power to internal or external loads.
Ventilation systems – subsystem of the fuel cell power system that provides, by mechanical
means, air to its cabinet.
Water treatment systems – provides for treatment and purification of recovered or added
water for use within the portable fuel cell power system.
These requirements are not intended to prevent the design and construction of a portable fuel
cell power system not specifically described in this standard, provided that such alternatives
have been considered and equivalent testing yields equivalent safety performance to that
prescribed by this standard. In considering alternative designs or construction, this standard
may be used to evaluate the alternative materials or methods to be used as to their ability to
yield equivalent performance to that prescribed by this standard.
This standard does not cover requirements of pressurized or non-pressurized fuel supply
containers upstream of the appliance gaseous or liquid fuel supply connector that are not
integral to the portable fuel cell power system.
All pressures in this standard are considered to be gauge pressures, unless otherwise
specified.
