Identification NFPA 853
Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fuel Cell Power Plants
2010 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.

In the 2010 edition, 15 clarifications were added along with 1 new requirement (an outdoor power                                 system’s distance from a combustible wall per manufacturer’s Installation Manual).
