Section 590.054 - Chemical composition of gases by mass spectrometry: Adoption by reference of standard test method; restrictions on hydrogen sold or supplied in State

1. The State Board of Agriculture hereby adopts by reference the most recent version of ASTM D2650, "Standard Test Method for Chemical Composition of Gases By Mass Spectrometry," set forth in the Annual Book of ASTM Standards published by ASTM International. Each new revision of that standard shall be deemed approved by the Board unless the revision is disapproved by the Board or its designee within 120 days after the date of publication of the revision by ASTM International. The standard is available for inspection pursuant to NAC 590.045 and may be purchased from ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, P.O. Box C700, West Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428-2959, or at the Internet address http://www.astm.org, for the price of $54.

2. A person shall not sell, offer for sale, supply or offer to supply in this State any hydrogen that is intended for use in a vehicle if the hydrogen, after it is analyzed in accordance with ASTM D2650, contains:

(a) Less than 98 percent per mole of hydrogen;

(b) Less than 99.9 percent per mole of any combination of hydrogen, water and oxygen; or

(c) More than 0.01 percent per mole of total hydrocarbons.

3. Any hydrogen specified in subsection 2 must not contain any dust, sand, dirt, gum, oil or other substance in an amount which may damage any equipment located at a fueling station or a vehicle being fueled at that station. If the hydrogen is introduced in gaseous form into a vehicle's system for storing fuel, the hydrogen under ambient conditions must have a distinctive odor which may be detected in a concentration in air of not more than one-fifth of the lower limit of flammability.
