本出版物概述了用于储氢的便携式可逆金属氢化物系统中系统和各种系统组件的预期使用条件。这些系统不包括金属氢化物电池系统。本出版物提供的使用条件是设计、制造、检查、测试和批准系统和系统部件的基础，系统和系统部件与一种或多种通常被称为金属氢化物的化合物一起使用。在适当的情况下，指明特定组件或特定应用；否则，这些系统的服务条件适用于所有此类服务中的每个组件。在已知的情况下，系统或组件功能具有最低要求。

This publication outlines the service conditions expected for the system and various system components in a portable, reversible metal hydride system to be used for hydrogen storage. These systems do not include metal hydride battery systems.This publication provides service conditions that are the basis for the design, manufacture, inspection, testing, and approval of the system and system components used with one or more chemical compounds generally described as a metal hydride.Where appropriate, the specific component or a specific application is indicated; otherwise, the conditions of service for these systems apply to each component in all such services. Where known, system or component features are provided with minimum requirements.
