A catalogue of technical norms and standards for hydrogen refuelling stations
This catalogue compiles the key technical standards and norms for hydrogen refuelling stations dedicated to heavy-duty transport. It provides a clear reference for infrastructure planners, equipment suppliers and authorities to align on safe, interoperable and future-ready HRS systems.

Standards (HRS = Hydrogen Refueling Stations)
| Standard | Scope | Purpose |
| ISO 19880 | Gaseous H₂ fueling stations | Safety, design, installation & operation requirements |
| ISO 17268 / SAE J2600 | Refueling connectors | Define design, safety & interoperability of nozzles/receptacles |
| ISO 13984 | Liquid hydrogen fueling | Safety of LH₂ vehicle interface, risk reduction (fire/explosion) |
| SAE J2601 / J2601-2 / J2601-5 | Fueling protocols | Prescriptive fueling limits for LDV, HDV & high-flow systems |
| EN 17124 | Hydrogen fuel quality | Defines minimum purity for vehicle use (PEM fuel cells) |
| EN 17127 | Outdoor HRS interoperability | Ensures compatibility of dispensing protocols across EU
|
| EU AFIR (2023/1804) | Alternative fuels infrastructure | Sets HRS targets: ≥1t/day, 700 bar, ≤200 km spacing, transparent pricing & payments |
