Point in time view as at 14/01/2009.
There are outstanding changes not yet made to Regulation (EC) No 79/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Any changes that have already been made to the legislation appear in the content and are referenced with annotations.
Changes and effects yet to be applied by the editorial team are only applicable when viewing the latest version or prospective version of legislation. They are therefore not accessible when viewing legislation as at a specific point in time. To view the ‘Changes to Legislation’ information for this provision return to the latest version view using the options provided in the ‘What Version’ box above.
This Regulation establishes requirements for the type-approval of motor vehicles with regard to hydrogen propulsion and for the type-approval of hydrogen components and hydrogen systems. This Regulation also establishes requirements for the installation of such components and systems.
This Regulation shall apply to:

hydrogen components designed for motor vehicles of categories M and N, as listed in Annex I;
hydrogen systems designed for motor vehicles of categories M and N, including new forms of hydrogen storage or usage.
1.For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply:
(a)‘hydrogen-powered vehicle’ means any motor vehicle that uses hydrogen as fuel to propel the vehicle;
(b)‘propulsion system’ means the internal combustion engine or fuel cell system used to propel the vehicle;
(c)‘hydrogen component’ means the hydrogen container and all other parts of the hydrogen-powered vehicle that are in direct contact with hydrogen or which form part of a hydrogen system;
(d)‘hydrogen system’ means an assembly of hydrogen components and connecting parts fitted on hydrogen-powered vehicles, excluding the propulsion systems or auxiliary power units;
(e)‘maximum allowable working pressure’ (MAWP) means the maximum pressure to which a component is designed to be subjected to and which is the basis for determining the strength of the component under consideration;
(f)‘nominal working pressure’ (NWP) means, as regards containers, the settled pressure at a uniform temperature of 288K (15 °C) for a full container, or as regards other components, the pressure level at which a component typically operates;
(g)‘inner tank’ means the part of the hydrogen container designed to use liquid hydrogen that contains the cryogenic hydrogen.
2.For the purposes of paragraph 1(d), ‘hydrogen systems’ shall include, inter alia, the following:
(a)usage monitoring and control systems;
(b)vehicle interface systems;
(c)excess flow systems;
(d)overpressure protection systems;

2.For the purposes of vehicle type-approval, manufacturers shall equip hydrogen-powered vehicles with hydrogen components and systems that comply with the requirements of this Regulation and its implementing measures and are installed in accordance with this Regulation and its implementing measures.
3.For the purposes of the type-approval of components and systems, manufacturers shall ensure that hydrogen components and systems comply with the requirements of this Regulation and its implementing measures.
4.Manufacturers shall provide the approval authorities with appropriate information concerning the vehicle specifications and test conditions.
5.Manufacturers shall provide information for the purposes of inspection of hydrogen components and systems during the service life of the vehicle.
Manufacturers shall ensure that:
hydrogen components and systems function in a correct and safe way and reliably withstand electrical, mechanical, thermal and chemical operating conditions without leaking or visibly deforming;
hydrogen systems are protected against over-pressurisation;
the materials used for those parts of the hydrogen components and systems which are to be in direct contact with hydrogen are compatible with hydrogen;
hydrogen components and systems reliably withstand expected temperatures and pressures during their expected lifetime;

hydrogen components are marked in accordance with the implementing measures;
hydrogen components with directional flow have the flow direction clearly indicated;
hydrogen components and systems are designed in such a way that they can be installed in accordance with the requirements of Annex VI.
Hydrogen containers designed to use liquid hydrogen shall be tested in accordance with the test procedures set out in Annex II.
1.Hydrogen components, other than containers, designed to use liquid hydrogen shall be tested in accordance with the test procedures set out in Annex III with regard to their type.
2.Pressure relief devices shall be designed so as to ensure that the pressure in the inner tank or in any other hydrogen component does not exceed a permissible value. The values shall be set in proportion to the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of the hydrogen system. A safety system for heat exchangers shall be provided for the detection of their failure.
1.Hydrogen containers designed to use compressed (gaseous) hydrogen shall be classified in accordance with point 1 of Annex IV.
2.The containers referred to in paragraph 1 shall be tested in accordance with the test procedures set out in Annex IV with regard to their type.
3.A detailed description of all principal properties of the material and tolerances used in the design of the container shall be provided, including the results of tests to which the material has been subjected.
Hydrogen components, other than containers, designed to use compressed (gaseous) hydrogen shall be tested in accordance with the test procedures set out in Annex V with regard to their type.

1.With effect from 24 February 2011, national authorities shall refuse to grant:
(a)EC type-approval or national type-approval in respect of new types of vehicle on grounds relating to hydrogen propulsion, where such vehicle does not comply with the requirements of this Regulation or of its implementing measures; and
(b)EC type-approval in respect of new types of hydrogen component or system, where such component or system does not comply with the requirements of this Regulation or of its implementing measures.
2.With effect from 24 February 2012, national authorities shall:
(a)on grounds relating to hydrogen propulsion, consider certificates of conformity for new vehicles to be no longer valid for the purposes of Article 26 of Directive 2007/46/EC, and prohibit the registration, sale and entry into service of such vehicles, where such vehicles do not comply with the requirements of this Regulation or of its implementing measures; and
(b)prohibit the sale and entry into service of new hydrogen components or systems, where such components or systems do not comply with the requirements of this Regulation or of its implementing measures.
3.Without prejudice to paragraphs 1 and 2, and subject to the entry into force of implementing measures adopted pursuant to Article 12(1), if a manufacturer so requests, national authorities shall not:
(a)on grounds relating to hydrogen propulsion, refuse to grant EC type-approval or national type-approval for new types of vehicle, or EC type-approval for new types of hydrogen component or system, where such vehicle, component or system complies with the requirements of this Regulation and its implementing measures; or
(b)prohibit the registration, sale and entry into service of new vehicles or the sale and entry into service of new hydrogen components or systems, where such vehicles, components or systems comply with the requirements of this Regulation and its implementing measures.
