scope:

This International Standard defines the requirements applicable to the material, design, construction, and testing of transportable hydrogen gas storage systems, referred to as "metal hydride assemblies" (MH assemblies) which utilize shells not exceeding 150 litres in water capacity and have a maximum developed pressure (MDP) not exceeding 25 MPa. This International Standard only applies to refillable storage MH assemblies where hydrogen is the only transferred media. Storage MH assemblies intended to be used as fixed fuel storage onboard hydrogen fuelled vehicles are excluded. This standard is intended to be used for certification purposes.
