Identification NFPA 853
Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fuel Cell Power Plants
2007 Edition

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.

 


Status Published. Available at www.nfpa.org.

Under review for the 2010 revision cycle.
 Over 30 proposed changes, primarily clarifications, were  evaluated at an August 2008 meeting. The committee decided to go forward with 15 clarifications, and 1 new requirement (an outdoor power system located at least 5 feet from a combustible wall).
