ISO 14687:2025
What is ISO 14687?
ISO 14687 specifies the minimum quality characteristics of hydrogen fuel intended for use in a range of applications including residential, commercial, industrial, vehicular, and stationary. It outlines the requirements to ensure hydrogen fuel meets necessary safety and performance standards, particularly in the context of its growing role in energy systems as a means to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Why is ISO 14687 important?
ISO 14687 is critical in standardizing the quality of hydrogen fuel to support its safe and efficient use, especially in emerging technologies like proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells and internal combustion engines. By providing clear specifications and guidelines, it helps to facilitate technological development and adoption, ensuring that advancements in hydrogen production, storage, and usage are compatible with environmental goals and energy security needs.
