Presentation Transcript

  1. United Nations Round Table Global Harmonization of Regulations, Codes & Standards (RC&S)for Gaseous Fuels Prepared by Jeffrey Seisler, representing the European Natural Gas Vehicle Association (ENGVA) & the International Association for NGVs (IANGV) and Randy Dey (Global Cooperation Group), representing the International Standards Organisation (ISO) for the 48th session of GRPE

  2. Rationale for the Round Table • There are natural synergies between NGVs & H2Vs (and their fuelling infrastructures). • Global harmonization of RC&S is a key factor in the introduction of hydrogen and hydrogen vehicles (H2Vs) into the market. • The development of the global natural gas vehicle (NGV) industry in the last two decades has resulted in a need to harmonize existing RC&S developed in different countries and by different organizations.

  3. Scope of the Round Table • Global harmonization of RC&S for gaseous fuels, which includes natural gas and hydrogen for transportation applications.

  4. Participants in the Round Table • Members of WP.29, including NGOs such as OICA, ISO, IEC, IANGV/ENGVA and SAE; • Hi-level executives from infrastructure and automotive organizations currently focused on natural gas, hydrogen and fuel cell activities; • Expert speakers with broad knowledge of standards organizations Proposed Chairman Mr. Bernard Gauvin

  5. Goals of the Round Table • Articulate the need for global harmonization based on actual experience • Discuss harmonization strategies and agree on a process for advancing harmonization of RC&S for hydrogen and natural gas vehicles • ENGVA/INGVA proposal (informal doc. No. GRPE-47-2) • Global Cooperation Group (GCG) (See next slide) • Others • Prepare a report to WP.29 for their acceptance and support

  6. Global Cooperation Group (GCG) • The GCG has been active in the work of harmonization of Regulations, Codes and Standards (RC & S) in the field of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies since 2002. • The GCG has met several times with participation from automotive & infrastructure companies, governments and SDOs from Canada, China, Europe, Japan and the US. • The next meeting: 27 June 2004 in Yokohama, Japan in conjunction with the 15th World Hydrogen Energy Conference (see www.whec15.jp/data/pro.html)
