"Technical Resources" Page Now Posted on the Hydrogen Safety Report
by Patrick Serfass
National Hydrogen Association


The Hydrogen Safety Report now houses a small collection of the most frequently used resources for those involved in developing codes and standards, authorities having jurisdiction and reviewing new installations and hydrogen professionals working on hydrogen safety and permitting issues. Click here to view the new Technical Resources.

The page is still under construction, but functional. During this interim period, we are seeking suggestions on information or resources that should be added to the site. Here is an outline of the resources available.

Resources include:

*Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
- Various MSDSs from Air Liquide, Air Products and Praxair

* Links to Hydrogen Data, Conversion Tables, and Other Resources
- Hydrogen Data from the industrial gas suppliers
- Hydrogen videos
- Interactive and tabular unit conversion calculators (e.g., evaluating BTU equivalent values for hydrogen systems)

* Interactive links to code and standard development organizations

* Regulator’s Guide to Permitting Hydrogen Technologies
- Overview
- Module 1 - Permitting Stationary Fuel Cell Installations
- Module 2 - Permitting Hydrogen Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities

* CaFCP Emergency Response Guide for Light Duty Fuel Cell Vehicles

* Fuel Leak Simulation, by Dr. Michael Swain

* Proceedings of Past NHA Hydrogen Safety Workshops

Please bookmark this page and share the resources available on this page with your colleagues and officials who may be reviewing a new hydrogen installation. If there are others we have not included, please email us! Have an information need not included here? Let us know!

Enjoy!
