The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical commitiees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that commillee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in ligison with ISO, also take part in the work. 'SO collaborates closely with the Intemational Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all malters of elecirotechnical standardization Intemetional Standards are crafted in accordance with the rulas given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main tesk of technical committees is to prepare International Standards, Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.

An electric courent is passed beiween two electrodes separated by @ conductive electrolyte of “ion transport medium’, Producing hycrogen at the negative electrode (cathode) and oxygen at the positive electrode (anode). As water is HO. twice the volume of hydrogen is produced over oxygen. Hydrogen gas produced using lectroiysis fechnology can be utilzed immediately or stored for later use. The cell(s), and electrical, gas processing, ventilation, cooling and monitoring equipment and controls are contained within the hydrogen generator enclosure. Gas compression and feed water condilioning and auxiliary equipment may also be included.
