5809.3.2 Standard Operating Procedures

The owner of a mobile hydrogen-fueling operation shall develop a written fueling standard operating procedure (SOP) that:

1. Clearly and unambiguously describes the sequence of steps that a roadside gaseous hydrogen service vehicle operator needs to take to ensure safety of gaseous hydrogen fueling and compliance with the fueling protocol requirements;
2. Establishes a fueling protocol that is consistent with applicable requirements of a recognized national standard such as SAE J2601. Compliance with these requirements shall be demonstrated by a valid test record from an independent third party such as a recognized hydrogen-fueled vehicle OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer).
