What is DD IEC/PAS 62282-6-150 - indirect PEM fuel cell safety testing about?
DD IEC/PAS 62282-6-150 is a consumer safety performance assessment PAS that covers micro fuel cell power systems using hydrogen produced from the reaction of an aqueous solution with solid UN Division 4.3 (water-reactive) compounds in indirect PEM fuel cell systems that are wearable or easily carried by hand, providing d.c. outputs that do not exceed 60 V d.c. and power outputs that do not exceed 240 VA. Portable fuel cell power systems that provide output levels that exceed these electrical limits are covered by IEC 62282-5-1.
DD IEC/PAS 62282-6-150 establishes requirements for micro fuel cell power systems, micro fuel cell power units and fuel cartridges using hydrogen produced from the reaction of an aqueous solution with solid UN Division 4.3 (water-reactive) compounds for use in indirect PEM fuel cell systems to ensure a reasonable degree of safety for normal use, reasonably foreseeable misuse, and consumer transportation of such items. The fuel cartridges covered by this PAS are not intended to be refilled by the consumer. Fuel cartridges refilled by the manufacturer or by trained technicians shall meet all requirements of this DD IEC/PAS 62282-6-150.
Externally accessible circuitry is therefore considered to be safety extra low voltage (SELV) circuitry as defined in IEC 60950-1:2005, and as limited power circuits if further compliance with 2.5 of IEC 60950-1:2005 is demonstrated. Micro fuel cell power systems or units that have internal circuitry exceeding 60 V d.c. or 240 VA should be appropriately evaluated in accordance with the separate criteria of IEC 60950-1:2005.
