Abstract

For the sake of completeness, a brief overview of safety-relevant aspects of hydrogen and its technical applications follows. The safe handling of hydrogen requires knowledge of its properties and the observance of the resulting safety measures. This ranges from the correct choice of materials to compliance with explosion protection guidelines. In recent years, increasing efforts have been made to formulate corresponding internationally valid regulations.
