Hydrogen Fuel Specifications

The California Department of Food and Agriculture, Division of Measurement Standards (DMS) established interim specifications for hydrogen fuels for use in internal combustion engines and fuel cells in motor vehicles. These specifications are effective until a standards development organization the American National Standards Institute accredits formally adopts standards for hydrogen fuels for use in motor vehicle internal combustion engines and fuel cells. (Reference California Code of Regulations Title 4, Section 4180-4181)
