The paper deals with technical regulation issues related to the safe application of fuel cells and related hydrogen technologies while designing, manufacturing, installing, operating and utilizing fuel cell power systems. The authors provide information on corresponding national and interstate standards of the Eurasian Interstate Council for Standardization, Metrology and Certification implemented in the Russian Federation, countries of the Eurasian Economic Union and CIS countries. Harmonization of the national and interstate regulatory technical base with ISO and IEC international standards may allow creating favorable conditions for commercializing hydrogen and fuel cell technologies in Russia as well as countries of the Eurasian Economic Union and CIS countries in the nearest future.
