What is PD IEC TS 62282‑9‑102 about?
PD IEC TS 62282‑9‑102 is a part of a multi series of international documents on fuel cell technologies.
PD IEC TS 62282‑9‑102 provides a set of specific rules, requirements and guidelines i.e., so called product category rules (PCR) for characterizing the environmental performance of stationary fuel cell combined heat and power (CHP) systems, and alternative systems for residential applications based on life cycle thinking primarily for communication to consumers.
PD IEC TS 62282‑9‑102 covers stationary fuel cell CHP systems and alternative heat (and power) systems for residential applications that primarily serve heating purposes. The systems can be complemented with a hot water storage tank and one or more additional heat generators. The systems are connected to the electricity grid.
PD IEC TS 62282‑9‑102 focuses on residential applications but can also be used to assess applications in the tertiary or service sector.
Note: PD IEC TS 62282‑9‑102 does not override, or in any way change, legally required environmental information, claims or labelling, or any other applicable legal requirements.
Who is PD IEC TS 62282‑9‑102 for?
PD IEC TS 62282‑9‑102 on fuel cell technologies is applicable to:
- Manufactures for fuel cell power systems
- Companies dealing with evaluation methodology for environment
- Suppliers and distributors of fuel cell systems
Why should you use PD IEC TS 62282‑9‑102?
Fuel cell is a technological device which generates electricity through an electrochemical reaction, not combustion. Hydrogen and oxygen are combined to generate electricity, heat and water.
Fuel cell power system is a device consisting of one or more fuel cell stacks that is intended to simultaneously produce both electric power and heat.
Environmental methodology is a method which identifies and assess the environmental effects associated with building materials over their life cycle.
PD IEC TS 62282‑9‑102 provides requirements and guidance on how to derive specific information on their environmental impacts based on individual environmental product declarations (EPDs).
As a buyer of PD IEC TS 62282‑9‑102 provides specific rules, requirements and guidelines for developing environmental declarations of one or more product category, providing a data for environment.
PD IEC TS 62282‑9‑102 is intended to used by manufactures of heat-relate devices (including CHP generators) on a voluntary basis. The information provided is used by consumers or installers.
