Gaseous hydrogen land vehicle refuelling connection devices. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This International Standard defines the design, safety and operation characteristics of gaseous hydrogen land vehicle (GHLV) refuelling connectors. GHLV refuelling connectors consist of the following components, as applicable:

• — receptacle and protective cap (mounted on vehicle);
• — nozzle.

This International Standard applies to refuelling connectors which have working pressures of 11 MPa, 25 MPa, 35 MPa and 70 MPa, hereinafter referred to in this International Standard as the following:

• — H11 – 11 MPa at 15 °C;
• — H25 – 25 MPa at 15 °C;
• — H35 – 35 MPa at 15 °C;
• — H35HF – 35 MPa at 15 °C (high flow for commercial vehicle applications);
• — H70 – 70 MPa at 15 °C.

Nozzles and receptacles that meet the requirements of this International Standard will only allow GHLVs to be filled by fuelling stations dispensing hydrogen with nominal working pressures equal to or lower than the vehicle fuel system working pressure. They will not allow GHLV to be filled by fuelling stations dispensing blends of hydrogen with natural gas. Refuelling connectors dispensing blends of hydrogen with natural gas are excluded from the scope of this International Standard.

NOTE This International Standard can be used for certification purposes.
