3.3.2 Garage
A structure for parking vehicles with power-driven propulsion and no fixed tracks, such as buses, trucks, and special-purpose vehicles.
(Source: GB 50067—2014, 2.0.1, modified)
4 General Requirements
4.1 The structure and performance of facilities must be approved by authorized departments, comply with relevant standards, and obtain administrative permits or filings from local authorities. The facility's management system shall include comprehensive organizational and safety management systems, safe operating procedures, safety responsibility systems, risk management systems, and emergency repair personnel and equipment.
4.2 Facilities must ensure good ventilation, level ground without water accumulation, and smooth vehicle access channels. Electrical equipment shall comply with GB 50058, anti-static devices with GB 12158, and lightning protection systems with GB 50057.
4.3 Fire protection and grounding signage in facilities shall comply with GB 2894, and anti-static signage with GB 12158.
4.4 Ventilation systems in facilities shall meet the requirements of GB 50016, GB 50736, and GB 55037.
4.5 Areas in facilities with a risk of hydrogen accumulation and ignition shall be equipped with forced ventilation systems. Outdoor exhaust outlets shall be vertically upward, extending at least 2 m above the roof ridge or operating platform and 5 m above the ground.
4.6 Facilities shall install hydrogen detectors and alarms (except in open areas) that trigger signals upon reaching set thresholds.
4.7 Facilities shall have fire detection systems, fire suppression systems, fire water supply facilities, and fire truck access routes, along with portable fire extinguishers. Fire protection design shall comply with GB 50016 and GB 55037 (except in open areas).
5 Hydrogen Refueling Station and Fueling
5.1 Hydrogen Refueling Station Requirements
5.1.1 Personnel entering the station for operations or maintenance must first discharge static electricity. They shall not wear chemical fiber workwear, caps, or spiked shoes, and open flames are strictly prohibited.
5.1.2 Ventilation systems in the station shall comply with GB 50516, and hydrogen detectors, electrical equipment, and firefighting facilities shall meet the requirements of GB/T 34584.
5.1.3 Spacing between vehicles in the station shall allow for emergency evacuation, with a recommended longitudinal queue spacing of >1.5 m.
5.1.4 Safety signs prohibiting mobile phone use and non-explosion-proof radio devices must be displayed.
5.1.5 All station equipment and components shall comply with GB/T 43674. Station operation and maintenance shall follow GB 50516 and GB 50156.
5.2 Fueling
5.2.1 Before refueling, the vehicle’s fuel cell engine and high-voltage electrical system must be turned off.
5.2.2 The vehicle must be grounded before refueling.
