The importance of hydrogen and fuel cells, both at the national and international level, is strongly growing. Not only through the multitude of national roadmaps toward energy change but also by more and more companies entering the market with promising products is the maturity of the technology becoming increasingly clear. In order to offer safe products to as many regional markets as possible, it is vital to establish globally recognized norms, guidelines and harmonized standards.For many years, topics under the heading Regulations, Codes and Standards (RCS) have been arriving at the international standards organizations IEC and ISO via a large number of voluntary experts. In the publications of the IEC, the International Electrotechnical Commission, can be found all the safety and compliance tasks involved with fuel cell technologies and systems that focus on electrical aspects.
