New standard aims to elevate safety protocols for hydrogen handling, storage, and transport as the logistics sector accelerates its shift towards sustainable energy.
The International Foundation for Chemical Logistics (IFCL) proudly announces the release of the IFCL 8500:2024 standard, a robust set of guidelines designed to ensure the safe transport, storage, and handling of hydrogen as an energy carrier. This standard provides critical protocols that align with the latest technological developments and regulatory requirements, marking a significant milestone in hydrogen safety practices within the logistics industry.
The IFCL 8500:2024 standard addresses hydrogen’s unique properties, which present specific challenges for safe handling, including its high flammability and diffusivity. By establishing best practices across key areas such as high-pressure storage, land transportation, and emergency response procedures, the standard empowers logistics providers, filling station operators, and hydrogen technology developers to adopt hydrogen safely and efficiently.
