HYAPPROVAL : Uniformization of Hydrogen refuelling station approval processes Facts EIHP2 has succeeded in developing draft regulations for on board LH2 and CGH2 storages EIHP2 has not finalized the refuelling station draft for regulation With the return of experience of the CUTE project, approval procedures for installing and operating refuelling stations have been extremely painful and there have been as many approaches and safety requirements as projects Objectives of the project Finalize the draft for regulation of refuelling stations Get approval feedback from existing projects such as CUTE Elaborate an EU-uniform « handbook » for approval of Hydrogen refuelling stations Test this handbook on one “virtual” refuelling station (same design installed in at least 4 different EU countries Face US / Japanese standardization committees with a critical size

Consortium As of today (in expression of interest) See logos (order and size of representation is random) Balanced in terms of Geographic distribution Competences Most are member of former CUTE / EIHP / ECTOS projects and current HYSAFE NoE Envisaged final consortium should include Representative of state regulation authorities and local authorities Notified bodies Fire departments City councils EU25 member states to initiate the H2 awareness in those countries

Approach to reach the project goals Double entry leading organization By country, as we would like to have as many refuelling stations as countries. We will need to have per country the following partners : safety / approval / Car / infrastructure / fire brigade with a leader By work packages (ie field of activities) with leader recognized in their area all over the countries Description of Work packages : Refuelling station definition and requirements Handbook Infrastructure and deployment Safety International cluster activities Vehicle requirements Hardware is not a must, but results of preexisting projects (CUTE / EIHP / Hysafe) or current projects will be used Prexisiting projects Deliverables Hyapproval Support Support Demo projects Hysafe
