2. Benefits of RCS HarmonizationRCS
activities can help facilitate

• Foster cooperation, guide technical work and
  accelerate the development of products by
  reducing the time required to get a new design
  into production
• Assure safety of products and installations
• Needed to allow product certification and global
  trade
• Improve user and customer confidence in the
  products

• RD
• Demonstration
• Commercialization

12
2. Benefits of Harmonization

• Provide a common language between buyers and
  sellers
• Increase productivity and efficiency in
  manufacturing (reduce the variety of products)
• Reduction of capital investment in inventory,
  warehouse and special equipment

13
3. Harmonization Organizations

• Global bodies such as UN/ECE, ISO, IEC are
  working towards global harmonization
• The member countries of IPHE recognize that
  common RCS are required to accelerate the
  cost-effective transition to a global hydrogen
  economy
• The HarmonHy project also fosters the
  harmonization of RCS
• The Global Cooperation Group (GCG) is actively
  working with existing international organizations
  to facilitate harmonization

4. How HySafe can help

• In order to develop international RCS that are
  based on the consolidated results of science,
  technology and experience, there is a need to get
  an international consensus on topics such as
• Hydrogen release and dispersion in a number of
  environments
• Thermal and pressure effects from hydrogen fires
  and explosions
• Mitigation techniques
• Risk assessment
• Hazardous Zones Electrical Classification
  Distances
• Clearance Distances for Venting of Hydrogen
  Storage

16
4. How HySafe can help

• The experts involved in hydrogen safety should
  get involved in ISO/IEC. Their participation
  will ensure
• Their work is made available to the international
  RCS community
• Their work is connected to the needs of the
  international RCS community
• Their work is presented in a format acceptable to
  the international RCS community
• Assumptions are clearly defined
• Tools used are identified
• Means have been taken to validate the results.
