Scope |
The 2003 Edition has been expanded to include
stationary fuel cells below 50kW. The new chapter, “Fuel Cell
Power Systems 50 kW or Less” gives requirements for both
outdoor and indoor installations as well as ventilation and
fire protection for these smaller systems.
In the 2007 edition, the use of the term Lower
Flammability Limit was corrected, and clarifications were made
to system siting and sensing equipment requirements.

Under review for the 2010 revision cycle.
Over
30 proposed changes, primarily clarifications, were

go forward with 15 clarifications, and 1 new requirement (an
outdoor power system located at least 5 feet from a
combustible wall). |
