New GB Standard for Assembly Valves on Vehicle High Pressure Hydrogen Storage Cylinders

On May 13, 2023, Chinese authorities announced the release of the GB Standard GB/T42536-2023 titled “Assembly valve on high pressure hydrogen storage cylinder for vehicles”. GB Standards are the cornerstone of product conformity in China, ensuring that products meet rigorous safety and quality requirements. Set to be implemented on June 1, 2024, this new standard specifies the test criteria products must meet. These types of cylinders are used in hydrogen tank system in E-Mobility vehicles, which are subject to special regulations in China.

The GB/T42536-2023 standard is a significant stride towards harmonizing vehicle safety components with international safety practices. It will clarify the safety benchmarks for valves used in hydrogen vehicle tank systems. Carbon Fiber Gas Cylinder
