GB/T 43691.1-2024 Fuel cell modules—Part 1:Safety
Basic Information
Scope
This document specifies the safety-related requirements for fuel cell modules in terms of their structure, operation under normal and abnormal conditions, and testing. This document applies to fuel cell modules with the following electrolytes: -- Alkaline; -- Polymer electrolyte (including direct methanol fuel cells); 1) -- Also known as proton exchange membrane fuel cells. -- Phosphoric acid; -- Molten carbonate; -- Solid oxide; -- Brine solution. Fuel cell modules, with or without a housing, can operate under either significant pressurization or near-ambient pressure conditions. This document addresses conditions that pose hazards to humans and cause external damage to fuel cell modules, but does not cover protection against internal damage to fuel cell modules, provided that such damage does not lead to external hazards. For special applications, these requirements may be replaced by other standards specific to the equipment in which the fuel cell modules are installed. This document does not apply to road vehicle fuel cells. This document does not limit or inhibit technological progress. If electrical materials or structural forms differ from those described in this document, they shall be inspected and tested according to the intended purpose. If they are substantially equivalent, they shall be deemed to comply with this document. Fuel cell modules are components of final products. A safety assessment of the final product is conducted to meet the safety requirements of the end application scenarios. This document only addresses fuel cell modules with DC output. This document does not address the peripheral equipment shown in Figure 1. This document does not address the storage and delivery of fuel and oxidant for fuel cell modules.
