Publication date:   Dec 16, 2025

Scope

IEC 62282-3-200:2025 covers operational and environmental aspects of the stationary fuel cell power systems performance. The test methods apply as follows:

- power output under specified operating and transient conditions;

- electrical and heat recovery efficiency under specified operating conditions;

- environmental characteristics, for example, exhaust gas emissions, noise, under specified operating and transient conditions.

This document applies to all kinds of stationary fuel cell technologies, such as:

- alkaline fuel cells (AFC);

- phosphoric acid fuel cells (PAFC);

- polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC);

- molten carbonate fuel cells (MCFC);

- solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).
