IEC TS 62282-7-1 ED3

Fuel cell technologies - Part 7-1: Test methods - Single cell performance tests for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC)

Scope

IEC TS 62282-7-1:2025 covers cell assemblies, test station setup, measuring instruments and measuring methods, performance test methods, and test reports for PEFC single cells.
This document is used for evaluating:
a) the performance and durability of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) for PEFCs in a single cell configuration;
b) materials or structures of PEFCs in a single cell configuration; or,
c) the influence of impurities in fuel and/or in air on the fuel cell performance and durability.

This document is for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) basically having flow field configurations and using hydrogen or hydrogen containing gas as fuel. It excludes from the scope fuel cells based on anion exchange membranes, bipolar membranes, and phosphoric acid doped polybenzimidazole membranes.
