Fuel cell vehicles are considered as the direct alternative to fuel vehicles due to their similar driving range and refueling time. The United Nations World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (UN/WP29) released the Global Technical Regulation on Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Vehicles (GTR13) in July 2013, which was the first international regulation in the field of fuel cell vehicles. There exist some differences between GTR13 and the existing safety technical specifications and standards in China. This paper studied the safety requirements of the GTR13 compressed hydrogen storage system, analyzed the current hydrogen storage safety standards for fuel cell vehicles in China, and integrated the advantages of GTR13 to propose relevant suggestions for future revision of hydrogen storage standards for fuel cell vehicle in China.
