Micro Fuel Cell

IEC/PAS 62282-6-150:2011(E) covers micro fuel cell power systems using hydrogen produced from the reaction of an aqueous solution with solid UN Division 4.3 (water-reactive) compounds in indirect PEM fuel cell systems that are wearable or easily carried by hand, providing d.c. outputs that do not exceed 60 V d.c. and power outputs that do not exceed 240 VA.

IEC 62282-6-400:2019 covers the interchangeability of power and data between micro fuel cell power systems and electronic devices to provide the micro fuel cell power system compatibility for a variety of electronic devices while maintaining the safety and performance of the micro fuel cell system. For that purpose, this document covers power interfaces and their connector configuration. The power management circuitry and power sharing methodology are also provided. This document also covers the data communication protocol and its data specification. Operation modes and alert conditions are also provided for the means to comply with the power control requirements of the electronic device.

IEC 62282-6-300:2012 covers interchangeability of micro fuel cell (MFC) fuel cartridges to provide the cartridge compatibility for a variety of MFC power units while maintaining the safety and performance of MFC power systems. For this purpose, the standard covers fuel cartridges and their connector designs. Fuel type, fuel concentration and fuel quality are also covered. This standard also provides for the means to avoid the miss-connection of an improper fuel cartridge. Test methods for verifying the compliance with the interchangeability requirements for fuel and fuel cartridges are also provided in this standard. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below: - updates to Type A to D interchangeable connectors, addition of Type E; - updates of the procedures, criteria and figures of the type tests for interchangeable connectors to ensure accurate and consistent results.

IEC 62282-6-200:2016 specifies test methods for the performance evaluation of micro fuel cell power systems for laptop computers, mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), cordless home appliances, TV broadcast cameras, autonomous robots, etc. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - deletion of 5.3 (Fuel consumption test) as it was impractical to measure the actual consumption rate of some kinds of fuels; - addition and modification of some terms and definitions.

IEC 62282-6-100:2010+A1:2012 covers micro fuel cell power systems, micro fuel cell power units and fuel cartridges that are wearable or easily carried by hand, providing d.c. outputs that do not exceed 60 V d.c. and power outputs that do not exceed 240 VA. Establishes requirements for all micro fuel cell power systems, micro fuel cell power units and fuel cartridges to ensure a reasonable degree of safety for normal use, reasonably foreseeable misuse, and consumer transportation of such items. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication or one that replaces an existing Publicly Available Specification (PAS) in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 12 months from the date of publication. In the meantime, IEC/PAS 62282-6-1 can still be ordered by contacting the local IEC member National Committee or the IEC Central Office. The contents of the corrigendum of December 2011 have been included in this copy. This consolidated version consists of the first edition (2010) and its amendment 1 (2012). Therefore, no need to order amendment in addition to this publication.
