Overview
ISO 12619-2:2014/Amd 1:2016 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) focused on performance and general test methods for fuel system components in road vehicles using compressed gaseous hydrogen (CGH2) and hydrogen/natural gas blends. This amendment updates the original 2014 standard, specifying material, durability, and environmental resistance requirements critical to the safety and reliability of hydrogen fuel systems in automotive applications.
The standard is part of the ISO 12619 series, which covers the requirements and testing protocols for various fuel system components, such as pressure regulators, valves, and check valves, as relevant to the safe use of hydrogen and its blends as alternative fuels.
Key Topics
Material Requirements
The amendment highlights the necessity for materials in contact with hydrogen to withstand issues like hydrogen embrittlement and fatigue without degradation. Both metallic and non-metallic materials must maintain mechanical integrity, resist corrosion, and avoid deformation under operational conditions. Manufacturers are encouraged to carefully screen materials based on current data sources such as Sandia National Laboratories and other international guidelines.Ultraviolet (UV) Resistance
External non-metallic surfaces, including coatings, must tolerate UV exposure from UVA 340 lamps for a minimum of 1000 hours without blistering, cracking, or other surface damage. This ensures long-term durability in outdoor environments.Automotive Fluid Exposure
Components must resist mechanical degradation from common automotive fluids including sulfuric acid, ethanol/gasoline blends, and methanol-based windshield washer fluids. Testing procedures involve repeated spraying or immersion to simulate real-world environmental exposure.Resistance to Chemicals and Aging
The standard specifies conditions for exposure to n-pentane and heat aging tests to evaluate changes in material properties like tensile strength, elongation, and volume. These tests help guarantee performance stability over the component’s service life.
Applications
ISO 12619-2:2014/Amd 1:2016 primarily serves manufacturers, testing labs, and regulatory bodies involved in the development and certification of:
- Fuel system components for hydrogen-powered road vehicles
- Hydrogen/natural gas blend fuel systems for buses, trucks, and passenger cars
- Safety assurance and durability testing protocols for hydrogen fuel infrastructure components
- Material selection and validation for automotive parts exposed to hydrogen environments
Compliance with this amendment helps ensure hydrogen fuel system components meet stringent performance, safety, and environmental resistance criteria, fostering consumer confidence in hydrogen vehicles and advancing hydrogen as a viable clean fuel alternative.
Related Standards
This amendment complements and references several important standards and guidelines, including:
- ISO 12619 Series - Parts 1 through 6 cover broader requirements for compressed gaseous hydrogen and hydrogen/natural gas blend fuel system components: general requirements, pressure regulators, valves, and safety devices.
- ISO 4892-3 - Testing methods for plastics and coating materials' resistance to UV exposure using fluorescent UV lamps.
- ANSI/AIAA G-095 and ANSI/CSA CHMC 1 - Guidelines on hydrogen compatibility of materials.
- ASME B31.12 - Hydrogen piping and pipeline standard covering material and safety requirements for hydrogen transport.
- SAE J2579 - Fuel system components for gaseous fuels, including design and evaluation criteria.
Implementing these standards together supports a comprehensive approach to the design, testing, and certification of hydrogen fuel systems, ensuring high performance, safety, and durability across hydrogen-powered transportation platforms.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

AMENDMENT 1
Page 10, 22.2
Add the following clauses after 22.2:
23 Material requirements
Materials normally in contact with hydrogen shall be determined to be acceptable in hydrogen service,
with consideration of hydrogen embrittlement and hydrogen accelerated fatigue. The performance
tests cannot guarantee that all cases and conditions of hydrogen service will be validated, so it is
still incumbent on the manufacturer to carefully screen materials of construction for their intended
use. Materials and design shall be such that there will be no significant change in the functioning of
the component, deformation or mechanical change in the component, and no harmful corrosion,
deformation, or deterioration of the materials when subject to the service conditions provided in
ISO 12619-1, 4.4.
NOTE Material performance data in hydrogen environments can be found in the Sandia National
Laboratory Technical Reference for Hydrogen Compatibility of Materials or ANSI/AIAA G-095,
ANSI/CSA CHMC 1, ASME B31.12, and SAE J2579, Appendix B.
Non-metallic materials normally in contact with hydrogen shall be determined to be acceptable in
hydrogen service. Consideration shall be given to the fact that hydrogen diffuses through these materials
more easily than through metals; therefore, the suitability of materials shall be verifi
