2.1.1 Description

A fuel cell can't operate on its own; it needs to be associated with auxiliary peripherals to perform such essential functions as routing reagents, evacuating products or managing stack temperature. Although these auxiliaries are necessary for the fuel cell's operation, they are also energy consumers, directly interfering with the fuel cell's production....

Regulations

In addition to the traditional type-approval rules for combustion-powered vehicles and the rules relating to the electrification of the propulsion system, fuel cell vehicles are subject to specific European regulations, such as EC 79/2009 and its implementing directive 406/2010. These two regulations require proof of the hydrogen system's operational safety. They also require "type-approval" for the most sensitive components...
