ISO TC197 Working Group #13     Hydrogen Sensors     Under Development       International   Organization International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Identification Technical Committee No. 197 – Hydrogen Technologies Working Group #13 Hydrogen Detection Apparatus ISO 26142 Scope This international standard defines the performance requirements and test methods of stationary hydrogen detection apparatus that is designed to measure and monitor hydrogen concentrations. The provisions in this standard cover the hydrogen detection apparatus used to achieve the single and/or multilevel safety operations such as nitrogen purging or ventilation and/or system shutoff corresponding to the hydrogen concentration. The requirements applicable to the control system as well as the installation requirements of such apparatus are excluded. This standard sets out only the requirements applicable to a product standard of hydrogen detection apparatus, such as precision, response time, stability, measuring range, selectivity and poisoning. This standard is intended to be used for certification purposes. Status The Draft International Standard, ISO / DIS 26142 is out for vote until January 9, 2009. Committee Information Convener Dr. I.
