| Buildings and Structures |
|
| ICC International Building Code
(IBC) |
IBC covers all buildings except 3-story one- and two-family
dwellings and townhomes. This comprehensive code
features time-tested safety concepts, structural, and fire and life safety
provisions covering means of egress, interior finish requirements,
comprehensive roof provisions, seismic engineering provisions, innovative
construction technology, occupancy classifications, and the latest industry
standards in material design. |
| ICC International Fire Code (IFC) |
The IFC covers regulations governing the safeguarding of life
and property from all types of fire and explosions hazards. Topics include
general precautions against fire, emergency planning and preparedness, fire
department access, fire hydrants, automatic sprinkler systems, fire alarm
systems, hazardous materials storage and use, and fire safety requirements
for new and existing buildings and premises. |
| Code
for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Repair Garages (NFPA 30A) |
NFPA 30A applies to motor fuel dispensing facilities;
marine/motor fuel dispensing facilities; and motor fuel dispensing facilities
located inside buildings, at fleet vehicle motor fuel facilities, and at
farms and isolated construction sites. It also applies to motor vehicle
repair garages. |
| Hydrogen Transportation, Storage and Distribution |
|
| Piping and Pipelines (ASME B31) |
ASME B31 prescribes requirements for materials and components,
design, fabrication, assembly, erection, examination, inspection, and testing
of piping |
| Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code (Rules for Construction of Pressure Vessels) (ASME BVPC Section VIII) |
BPVC Section VIII provides requirements applicable to the design,
fabrication, inspection, testing, and certification of pressure vessels
operating at either internal or external pressures exceeding 15 psig.
Specific requirements apply to several classes of material used in pressure
vessel construction, and also to fabrication methods such as welding, forging
and brazing.. |
| Hydrogen Piping Systems at Consumer Sites (CGA Publication G5.4) |
G5.4 covers materials
and components selection to help guide installation of safe and effective
hydrogen supply systems at consumer's sites |
| Hydrogen
Vent Systems (CGA Publication G5.5) |
G5.5 provides design
guidelines for hydrogen vent systems for gaseous and liquid hydrogen
installations at consumer sites, and provides recommendations for their safe
operation. |
| Hydrogen
Pipeline Systems (CGA PublicationG5.6) |
G5.6 is a joint European Industrial Gases Association
(EIGA)/CGA international harmonized standard on metallic transmission and
distribution piping systems carrying pure hydrogen and hydrogen
mixtures. It is limited to gaseous
products with a temperature range between –40 °C and 175 °C (–40 °F and 347
°F); total pressures from 1 MPa to 21 MPa (150 psig to 3000 psig); and defined concentration
criteria. |
| Underground Installation of Liquid Hydrogen Storage Tanks (CGA Publication PS17) |
PS17 clarifies
statements in CGA P-12 and CGA G-5.4 that are viewed as prohibitions
to below grade installation of liquid hydrogen. It also provides general
design and installation minimum criteria for such installations. |
| Direct Burial of Gaseous Hydrogen Storage Tanks (CGA Publication PS20) |
This Position Statement explains why it is acceptable to
store gaseous hydrogen underground in seamless forged vessels |
| Adjacent Storage of Compressed Hydrogen and Other
Flammable Gases (CGA Publication PS21) |
This position statement explains why it is acceptable to
store flammable gas storage systems adjacent to each other with no defined
minimum separation distance between them. |
| Cryogenic Hydrogen Storage (CGA Publication H3) |
This standard contains the suggested minimum design and
performance requirements for shop-fabricated, vacuum-insulated cryogenic
tanks (vertical and horizontal) intended for aboveground storage of liquid
hydrogen. |
| ICC International Fire Code (IFC) |
The IFC covers regulations governing the safeguarding of life
and property from all types of fire and explosions hazards. Topics include
general precautions against fire, emergency planning and preparedness, fire
department access, fire hydrants, automatic sprinkler systems, fire alarm
systems, hazardous materials storage and use, and fire safety requirements
for new and existing buildings and premises. |
| Design, Equipment, Systems, Footprint and Dispensing |
|
| Vehicular Fuel Systems Code (NFPA 52) |
With respect to hydrogen-powered vehicles, NFPA 52 applies to: (1) the design,
installation, operation and maintenance of engine fuel systems using
compressed and liquid hydrogen and hydrogen blends; and (2) design and
installation of engine fuel systems up to 3600 psi for vehicles operating on mixtures of gaseous hydrogen up to 20% with the
balance being natural gas. NFPA 52 does not apply to vehicles that meet FMVSS
requirements for hydrogen-fueled vehicles. |
| Standard for the Storage, Use, and Handling of Compressed Gases
and Cryogenic Fluids in Portable and Stationary Containers, Cylinders, and
Tanks (NFPA 55) |
NFPA 55 applies to the installation, storage, use, and handling
of compressed gases and cryogenic fluids in portable and stationary
containers, cylinders, and tanks in all occupancies. |
| ICC International Fire Code (IFC) |
The IFC covers regulations governing the safeguarding of life
and property from all types of fire and explosions hazards. Topics include
general precautions against fire, emergency planning and preparedness, fire
department access, fire hydrants, automatic sprinkler systems, fire alarm
systems, hazardous materials storage and use, and fire safety requirements
for new and existing buildings and premises. |
| Gas and Vapor Detectors and Sensors (UL 2075) |
This standard covers
requirements for toxic and combustible gas and vapor detectors and sensors
intended to be portable or employed in indoor or outdoor locations in
accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NFPA 70). A gas detector and/or sensor and/or
vapor detector, as covered by these requirements, consists of an assembly of
electrical components coupled with a sensing means inside a chamber, or by
separate components to detect toxic and/or combustible gases or vapors. |
