NFPA 853
Standard for the
Installation of Stationary Fuel Cell Power Systems
2003 Edition
This edition of NFPA 853, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fuel Cell Power Systems, was
repared by the Technical Committee on Electric Generating Plants and acted on by NFPA at
ts May Association Technical Meeting held May 18–21, 2003, in Dallas, TX. It was issued by
he Standards Council on July 18, 2003, with an effective date of August 7, 2003, and super-
edes all previous editions.
This edition of NFPA 853 was approved as an American National Standard on July 18, 2003.
Origin and Development of NFPA 853
In 1997, the Technical Committee on Electric Generating Plants appointed a Task Group
n Fuel Cells to begin work on this document. The Standards Council officially approved the
roject in January 1998. The Council recognized that fuel cells were becoming a popular
eans of producing electricity and that there were no installation standards for this technol-
gy. NFPA 853 addresses fire protection for siting, fuel supplies and storage, ventilation, and
eneral fire protection requirements.
The scope of the 2003 edition was changed significantly from that of the 2000 edition. The
000 edition did not cover fuel cells smaller than 50 kW; the 2003 edition covers stationary
uel cell power systems of any size.
