Scope |
Safety standard for micro fuel cell power systems. (Fuel
cell power systems and fuel containers that are wearable or easily carried by
hand, providing dc outputs that do not exceed 60 V d.c. and power output
of 240 VA. These DC units power or recharge consumer electric devices.)

The International
Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has drafted conditions that
will allow the transportation and use of fuel cells and fuel cell
cartridges on board passenger airlines. The draft language
addresses: (a) fuel cells using butane, formic acid, direct
methanol, and reformed methanol fuels; (b) requires compliance with
this standard; (c) places limits on the size and number of fuel cell
cartridges, and (d) allows transportation in carry-on baggage only.
Once ratified by member countries, these instructions will go into
effect on January 1, 2007.
On April 30, 2008, the
US
Department of Transportation
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
agency published their final rule to revise
49 CFR Parts 171, 173,
and
175.
This allows fuel cartridges for
fuel cell devices and fuel cell systems to be transported on board
passenger aircraft in carry-on baggage and used in flight. The types
of fuel cell permitted include: methanol, formic acid, butane, and
specific borohydride formulations that comply with requirements of
IEC/PAS 62282-6-1. |

Status |
A
PAS was published in 2006 as IEC/PAS 62282-6-1 (2006-02) and modified as IEC/PAS
62282-6-1 Corr. 1 (2007-04). Available from
www.IEC.ch in English only.
The Committee Draft Vote (CDV) was approved in
October 2007. The next phase will be Final Draft International Standard (FDIS)
in February 2008 with comments to the CDV addressed. Publication goal is
2008. Later editions will be separated by fuel, e.g. methanol, hydrogen, formic
acid, butane, etc.
