853: Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fuel Cell Power Systems

$204.15

Get current with general requirements for safeguarding stationary fuel cell power system installations.

With the rise in popularity and use of fuel cells as a source of power, it is crucial that there is recognized criteria for helping to protect people and property in environments where these types of equipment and components are in use. NFPA? 853, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fuel Cell Power Systems, 2020 edition, provides industry-leading knowledge applying to the design, construction, and installation of systems of all sizes.

From information on equipment configurations and indoor, outdoor, and rooftop installations to requirements for fuel supplies, ventilation, and fire safety and emergency planning, NFPA 853 stands as an indispensable resource for those responsible for applying or enforcing the standard. You get comprehensive fire prevention and protection provisions for buildings and facilities equipped with the following types of equipment:

  • Singular prepackaged, self-contained power system units
  • Any combination of prepackaged, self-contained power system units
  • Power system units made up of two or more factory-matched modular components intended for assembly in the field
  • Engineered and field-constructed power systems utilizing fuel cells

NFPA 853, 2020 edition, is updated to account for the rapidly expanding and evolving energy-producing fuel cell industry and its technology.

It’s vital that architects, fire protection engineers, owners and managers of buildings or facilities, and anyone with concerns for stationary fuel cell systems safety have access to the most relevant performance criteria. NFPA 853, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fuel Cell Power Systems, features changes that can affect your work, including:

  • Edits and revisions to the standard to address the expanded scope of ANSI/CSA FC 1, Fuel cell technologies ? Part 3-100: Stationary fuel cell power systems ? Safety, which now includes all pre-engineered and matched modular systems
  • Removal of sections that are no longer applicable, allowing alternate compliance options for systems outside the scope of ANSI/CSA FC 1

Help ensure you have the resources and support to improve facility safety and comply with the latest standard.
