Global Technical Regulation No. 13
Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Vehicle Safety
This regulation specifies safety-related performance requirements for hydrogen-fueled vehicles. The regulation aims to minimize the risk of serious injury due to fire, burst or explosion related to the vehicle fuel system and/or from electric shock caused by the vehicle’s high voltage system.
The World Forum has authorized the further development of this GTR. You can find out more about this effort in the authorization to develop Phase 2 of GTR No. 13. (You can also download the original authorization to develop this GTR (i.e., Phase 1) .)
