New Standards for Liquid Hydrogen Valves and Safety Systems GB/T 45027 and GB/T 45161

30. January 2025

The Standardization Administration of China (SAC) has announced the adoption and publication of two major new standards focused on liquid hydrogen systems. These standards are intended to increase safety and performance in the development and use of liquid hydrogen infrastructures. Product testing is a key element in demonstrating the conformity of relevant standards and norms in China. Depending on the area and application, different test laboratories can carry out these tests.

The newly released standards include:

1. GB/T 45027-2024: General Specifications for Liquid Hydrogen Valves
   • Implementation Date: 01 April 2025
     
2. GB/T 45161-2024: Technical Specification for Safety Valves for Liquid Hydrogen Containers
   • Implementation Date: 01 July 2025

These advances reflect China’s commitment to promoting a robust regulatory framework for the hydrogen industry. By introducing precise and enforceable standards, the SAC aims to ensure safety, efficiency and global competitiveness in the field of liquid hydrogen technology.
