CEN-CENELEC/TC 6 on Hydrogen Background

CEN-CENELEC/TC 6 on Hydrogen Background SFEM WG Hydrogen; how the story started In consideration of the strong interest and real needs from industry that were expressed at the JRC-EARTO-CEN/CENELEC workshop on Putting Science into Standards « Power to Gas and HCNG », Sector Forum Energy Management (SFEM) has launched last February 9th, its WG on Hydrogen following communication to CEN and CENELEC BTs:



Scope of Work • Mapping existing standardization initiatives (TCs, JWGs, SFs,…) • Mapping standardization needs • Prepare a strategy roadmap with list of priorities

• Mapping research and pre-normative needs • Recommendation for NWI and/or extension of standardization work • Recommendation for RDI priorities (support, funding, …) • Liaise with IEA (H2 related I.A.), FCH-JU, relevant ISO, IEC, CEN and CENELEC TCs • Strengthen cooperation between regulatory work, standardization work and RDI

programs



80 experts from 60 companies and 10 countries : • Industry, • CEN/CENELEC, NSBs • European Commission : Joint Research Centre (JRC), DG

Energy (ENER), DG Research & Innovation (RTD), DG Internal Market, DG Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (GROW),

• Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH-JU), IEA • Research institutes • Consumers reps

CEN-CENELEC/TC 6 on Hydrogen Background Main recommendations SFEM WG Hydrogen to CEN and CENELEC Technical Boards: Support the establishment of a new CEN/TC for hydrogen develop the necessary standards since most of the topics identified by the working group fall within the scope of CEN Continue the SFEM/WG Hydrogen which should have a holistic combined approach spanning research, pre-normative research and standardization for Power to Hydrogen and all related technologies including Power to Power. The purpose of the SFEM/WG Hydrogen is to provide a long term – sustainable – platform for strengthening collaboration and thus contribute to boosting the development and subsequent implementation of innovation through consistent and mutually supportive policy, R&D and standardization work Dissemination of the outcome of the SFEM/WG activities

There is no European TC on hydrogen covering the wide range of topics identified by the SFEM WG Hydrogen and that standardization is the most appropriate way to tackle many of the critical issues identified. Topics already covered by the scope of an existing TC will not be elaborated in the new TC


CEN-CENELEC/TC 6 on Hydrogen Rationale behind the establishment

CEN/CENELEC Decisions create a new Technical Committee, CEN/TC 446 on hydrogen with the

provisional title and scope

to allocate the Secretariat of CEN/TC 446 to NEN

to ask the new CEN/TC 446 to submit its final title and scope, taking into consideration the comments expressed during the consultation as well as the discussions at the 79th BT meeting, for BT approval by the end of July 2016



CEN/CENELEC Decisions to invite CENELEC to join the activities in view of converting the CEN/TC into

a joint CEN-CENELEC TC

Conversion of CEN/TC 446 ‘Hydrogen’ to CEN-CLC/TC 6 ‘Hydrogen’ agreed to the creation of a Joint CENCENELEC Technical Committee on hydrogen under the Secretariat of NEN.



Proposed scope: • Standardization in the field of systems, devices and connections (e.g. PtG,

PtP) for the production, storage, transport, measurement and use of hydrogen from renewables and other sources

• The scope also regards future topics related to hydrogen which possibly contribute to the development of the hydrogen market within Europe

• Overarching and cross cutting items are covered as part of this scope

• Example for standardization this are safety related items, training and education, management system, guarantee of origin, key performance indicators of electrolysers etc.


CEN-CENELEC/TC 6 on Hydrogen Content

First meeting 9th /10th of June in Brussels Agenda first meeting:

• Appointment of the Technical Committee Chairperson • Scope and title • Work programme • Structure/Organization • Internal and external Liaisons


CEN-CENELEC/TC 6 on Hydrogen Next steps

Standardization

• The standardization system in Europe is based on the national pillars, which are the National Standardization Bodies (NSBs).

• CEN-CENELEC National Members are the National Standardization Bodies (NSBs) of the 28 European Union countries, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Turkey plus three countries of the European Free Trade Association (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland).

• There is one NSB per country

• A NSB is the one stop shop for all stakeholders and is the main focal point of access to the concerted system



Standardization

• NSB responsible for the appointment and registration of their delegates to TC meetings – Contact National Standardization Body

• Liaisons – Internal liaisons

>Europe: CEN/CENELEC TCs > International: ISO/IEC TSs

– External liaisons: Representatives of bodies such as the European Commission, the EFTA Secretariat and other international and European organizations with particular interests in the work, having been accorded formal liaison



Development of Standards

• Preparation of the standards belongs to the TC

• The TCs work on the basis of national participation by the CEN-CENELEC Members (NSBs)

• Hand on work development of standards in Working Groups (WGs)

• A WG is established by the Technical Committee to undertake a specific task within a target date


CEN-CENELEC/TC 6 on Hydrogen Next steps - Standardization

Working Group • Experts, appointed by the NSBs speaking in a personal

capacity • Develop a draft that will become the future standard For any further questions please contact:
