2 HYDROGEN RCS: REGULATIONS CODES STANDARDS Contents Introduction ITM Involvement in RCS ISO Accreditation Products and CE marking Hydrogen Refuelling Hydrogen Purity ITM POWER DESIGNS AND MANUFACTURES HYDROGEN ENERGY SYSTEMS FOR ENERGY STORAGE AND CLEAN FUEL PRODUCTION

3 POSITIONING HYDROGEN ENERGY STORAGE HYDROGEN TRANSPORT FUEL

4 THE PROBLEM Electricity cannot be easily stored Renewable power cannot be scheduled Supply and demand balancing act The system needs energy storage Power to hydrogen is 70% efficient Separates Power from Energy Low Cost Electricity High Grade Fuel POSITIONING

5 THE SOLUTION Production of hydrogen controlled by the electricity companies Balancing supply and demand Supports further RE integration Control shifts to the demand side Switched on/off by the power company On site fuel production Protection from rising fuel costs POSITIONING

6 A TRIPLE ZERO FUEL On-site production of hydrogen from renewable power Zero carbon in its production Zero carbon in its transportation Zero exhaust emissions POSITIONING

7 COMPLIANCE EXPERIENCE ISO accreditation CE marking of first electrolyser systems Hydrogen On Site Trials (HOST) for mobile hydrogen refueller ISO ISO 9001 ISO ISO CE Marking PED LVD MD EMC Compliance HAZOPS HSE Fire Service Planning Product Standards BSI PVE 3/8 ISO/TC 197 BSI GEL 105 ISO/TC 105 COMPLIANCE

13 THE ROUTE TO CE COMPLIANCE Essential to enable sale in the EU (CB is international) Mandatory for certain groups of products Indicates conformity with essential health & safety requirements Requirements are set out in a series of EU Directives CE by self-declaration or assessment by Notified Bodies (NoBo s) NoBo involvement for PED is compulsory above category 1 ITM Power s approach: ITM used Gastec at CRE Ltd to establish relevant regulations & Directives ITM show conformity with Directives through harmonised standards Electrolyser standard ISO not harmonised to EU Directives Requires a comprehensive Technical File CE MARKING

14 INITIAL SCREENING Understanding the process and relevant directives The initial challenge was identification of the relevant EU Directives Gastec at CRE undertook a pre-assessment audit of the prototype systems Report generated to identify Directives, routes forward and likely issues Retained Gastec as consultant through the whole process Utilised experience on a variety of interpretation issues Regulatory information now available via the outcome of the HYPER project PED LVD MD ATEX EMC HPac Y Y Y Y HBox Y Y Y Y HFlame Y Y Y HFuel Y Y Y Y CE MARKING

15 PRESSURE EQUIPMENT DIRECTIVE Directive 97/23/EC concerning pressure equipment Pressure vessel category defined by combination of volume & pressure Sound Engineering Practices (voluntary assessment) apply to small systems <25 bar litres HPac & HBox contain Category II vessels and so required assessment by Notified Body Vessel design assessed to EN series of unfired pressure vessel standards Witnessed pressure tests (including unannounced visits) Notified Body Det Norsk Veritas (DNV) Registered for PED in Oslo, local inspectors in Sheffield CE MARKING

16 ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC) Directive 2004/108/EC relating to electromagnetic compatibility Requires specialist equipment & expertise Trained two staff and loaned equipment to pre-test prototype systems Formal testing undertaken by Notified Body Testing stresses power supply and control system with focus on: Immunity to electromagnetic interference Electromagnetic radiation emissions Achieved compliance with more stringent limits set by: EN :2005 Immunity for industrial environments EN :2007 Residential, commercial and light industrial Notified Body York EMC Services Ltd Typically 3 days testing per product CE MARKING

17 MACHINERY & LOW VOLTAGE DIRECTIVES Directive 2005/42/EC (Machinery) & Directive 2006/95/EC (Low Voltage) Directives are mutually exclusive use one or the other MD is not applicable in systems with no moving parts LVD relates to electrical equipment used within certain voltage limits Both are voluntary certificates of conformity and require: Electrical system tests Evidence of control system operation Product risk assessment Comprehensive Technical File Product manual Compliance with EN (General electrical safety) Notified Body CCQS UK Ltd A very wide ranging Directive CE MARKING

18 ATEX DIRECTIVES (ATEX) Two Directives 94/9/EC (ATEX 95) & 1999/92/EC (ATEX 137) ATEX 95: equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres Electrolysers / fuel cells would not usually need to conform to ATEX 95 Requirement to ensure explosive atmospheres do not exist within the product No ignition sources is part of the machinery directive ATEX 137: H&S protection of workers potentially at risk from explosive atmospheres Product CE marking is not required to address ATEX 137 No formalised approval route for hydrogen & fc stationary installation Guidance on safe installation generated from the HYPER project ATEX Directives do not apply to the domestic environment Consultacy given by NoBo s SIRA and BASEEFA CE MARKING

19 TECHNICAL FILE A location for all product information General Description List of applicable Directives and standards Standards checklists Risk Assessment Pictures and detailed engineering drawings and calculations Test reports and EHSR checklist Evidence of compliance with Directives Instruction manuals Name plate List of safety critical parts & evidence of conformity Safety data sheets Sales literature Declaration of conformity CE MARKING

20 DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY A statement of compliance to all relevant Directives Lists Directives which product conforms to Identifies Notified Bodies and specifics of Directives Address of manufacturer the keeper of technical file Description of the equipment List of harmonised standards applied Signature of responsible person typically a Director CE MARKING
