New China National Standard on Safety of Hydrogen Systems- Keys for Understanding and Use

Development of regulations, codes and standards on hydrogen safety is a primary ingredient in overcoming barriers to widespread use of hydrogen energy. Key points of the new China National Standard Essential safety requirements for hydrogen systems, metal hydrogen compatibility and risk control of flammability and explosion are discussed. Features  of the new standard such as safety requirements for slush hydrogen systems and solid state hydrogen storage systems, and introductions for hydrogen production by renewable energy are analyzed in this paper.
