Scope ISO/TS 19880-1

The ISO/TS 19880 was developed to determine a minimum set of requirements for safety and performance of fueling stations that dispense gaseous hydrogen. In other words: what TS 19880 captures the minimum design characteristics requirements that a hydrogen fueling station must meet. This standard only concerns hydrogen filling stations for commercial use.
