Concerning fuel cell modules, the IEC 62282-2-100:2020 standard focuses on safety criteria. In order to ensure the safety of both people and their immediate surroundings, it addresses the design, implementation, and testing of these modules. The specification takes into account situations that could endanger people or harm components other than fuel cell modules.

It is significant to note that, if such damage does not lead to risks outside of the fuel cell module, this standard does not address protection against damage occurring within the module. Depending on the particular application, other applicable standards for devices using fuel cell modules may supersede the requirements stated in this standard.

The standard has undergone a number of technical updates since the first publication of this edition in 2020. Updated requirements for insulation and safety measures, provisions for leakage values under normal and abnormal operation, the addition of a delayed ignition test, measures to prevent gas leakage, definitions that are in line with other relevant standards, the introduction of protective earthing and bonding measures, an updated dielectric strength test, and the addition of a new leakage test technique called the "pressure drop method" are some of these.
