Gaseous hydrogen — Fuelling stations — Part 2: Dispensers and dispensing systems
This document specifies safety requirements and test methods for the components and systems that enable the transfer of compressed hydrogen to a hydrogen vehicle, as addressed in ISO 19880-1, by a hydrogen dispenser with dispensing pressures up to the H70 pressure class designation. This document applies to a hydrogen dispensing system, referred to as a “dispenser”; the configuration of the dispenser can range from: a) a dispenser cabinet, located in the fuelling area, that can perform all of the functionality needed to deliver hydrogen to a vehicle, to b) a minimum set of components mounted in or on (as applicable) a dispenser cabinet or other supporting structure as appropriate, with the remaining functionality provided elsewhere in the hydrogen fuelling station. A dispensing system includes the user and vehicle interface and can include components starting from the hydrogen supply, such as a connection to the banking system, a cooling unit, a dispenser control system, a flow meter, a pressure sensor, a fuel temperature sensor, an ambient temperature sensor, user interface and a fuelling hose assembly. Not all dispensing system equipment has to be physically housed within the enclosure at the dispensing area, as long as the specification of component design or type and location are adequate to ensure that the overall process meets the requirements in this document. This document specifies the requirements for hydrogen dispensers and can provide specific references to other standards for individual components included in the hydrogen dispenser, such as valves (ISO 19880-3) and hoses (ISO 19880-5). This document specifies general requirements for supporting the fuelling protocol and directs the user to ISO 19880-1 for additional requirements and the test methods required to verify proper fuelling protocol implementation. This document does not specify the accuracy of flow meters that can be used to meter dispensed fuel.

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to promote the implementation of hydrogen-powered land vehicles
through the creation of performance-based safety and testing requirements for compressed hydrogen fuel
dispensers. The successful commercialization of hydrogen land vehicle technologies requires codes and
standards pertaining to fuelling stations, vehicle fuel system components and the global homologation of
standards requirements for technologies with the same end use. This will allow manufacturers to achieve
economies of scale in production through the ability to manufacture one product for global use.
This document is a part of the ISO 19880 series for hydrogen fuelling stations with its scope limited to
compressed hydrogen dispensers for land vehicles that use hydrogen as fuel. Dispensers are a major
component of hydrogen fuelling stations, without which hydrogen vehicles will not become a significant
element of mobility in the future. This document includes requirements for manufacture, commissioning and
routine maintenance of dispensers in order to ensure the safe operation of dispensing hydrogen to vehicles.
Note Annex A has additional information about the range of options for dispenser systems.

This document specifies safety requirements and test methods for the components and systems that enable
the transfer of compressed hydrogen to a hydrogen vehicle, as addressed in ISO 19880-1, by a hydrogen
dispenser with dispensing pressures up to the H70 pressure class designation.
This document applies to a hydrogen dispensing system, referred to as a “dispenser”; the configuration of
the dispenser can range from:
a) a dispenser cabinet, located in the fuelling area, that can perform all of the functionality needed to deliver
hydrogen to a vehicle, to
b) a minimum set of components mounted in or on (as applicable) a dispenser cabinet or other supporting
structure as appropriate, with the remaining functionality provided elsewhere in the hydrogen fuelling
station.
A dispensing system includes the user and vehicle interface and can include components starting from the
hydrogen supply, such as a connection to the banking system, a cooling unit, a dispenser control system,
a flow meter, a pressure sensor, a fuel temperature sensor, an ambient temperature sensor, user interface
and a fuelling hose assembly. Not all dispensing system equipment has to be physically housed within the
enclosure at the dispensing area, as long as the specification of component design or type and location are
adequate to ensure that the overall process meets the requirements in this document.
This document specifies the requirements for hydrogen dispensers and can provide specific references to
other standards for individual components included in the hydrogen dispenser, such as valves (ISO 19880-3)
and hoses (ISO 19880-5).
This document specifies general requirements for supporting the fuelling protocol and directs the user to
ISO 19880-1 for additional requirements and the test methods required to verify proper fuelling protocol
implementation.
This document does not specify the accuracy of flow meters that can be used to meter dispensed fuel.

device in Figure 1 is also an example and may vary.
The components that shall be part of the dispenser cabinet are:
a) fuelling hose assembly with a nozzle and nozzle resting system;
b) fuel temperature and pressure sensors;
c) filter (downstream of shutoff valve);
