This part of GB/T 20042 provides the minimum requirements for safety and performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cell stacks (including direct alcohol fuel cell stacks),and the requirements for type inspection, routine inspection items, test methods, and signs and specification documents.
This part is applicable to proton exchange membrane fuel cell stacks (including direct alcohol fuel cell stacks) (hereinafter referred to as "fuel cell stacks").
This part deals with conditions that can yield hazards to persons and damage outside the fuel cell stacks only. Protection against damage to the fuel cell stack internals is not addressed in this part, provided it does not lead to hazards outside the module.
This section does not include storage devices for fuels and oxidizers, as well as fuel and oxidant delivery processes and delivery devices.
If there is a better material or a new structure, and it can pass the inspections specified in this part and meet the relevant requirements, it can also be considered to be in accordance with this part.
