The project’s aim, therefore, is to collect the experiences gained on this subject in various major projects and field trials and to work them up into the development of a set of regulations. The work covers in particular the following activities:
- Recording and analysis of the infrastructure companies’ existing findings, especially arising from experiences in the licensing process for hydrogen filling stations in Germany (in some cases Europe) and development of a harmonised procedure for such licensing (together with relevant industry partners).
- Analysis of safety-relevant parameters in relation to workshops and garages.
- Analysis of safety-relevant parameters and requirements arising from hazardous goods legislation, especially from regulations on driving through tunnels and underpasses.
- Clarification of requirements on the part of the fire services in Germanspeaking countries in relation to appropriate marking/identification of damaged hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles for safe recovery and rescue.
- Documentation of the experiences and advice in relation to more far-reaching committee work and support for NOW in defining the formats for disseminating the project results.
