AIAA Guide Revision Status(AIAA G-095-2004) • Improvements to document function • AIAA is moving to electronic publishing (Rodger Williams, AIAA Publications ) • Features readily implemented in PDF format acceptable • “Prominent” data may be presented in the text • WSTF will implement multicolor figures and simple hyperlinks (to figure or annex materials) • Document will be made available as a download • Burden for printing is on user • Section 1 – OSMA review (Art Wood, Senior Test Safety Officer, Safety and Test Operations Division ) • Material still up to date • Add NASA-STD-8719.12 along with DoD 6055.9 as a reference document

5. AIAA Guide Revision Status(AIAA G-095-2004) • Physical properties & combustion issues (S. Woods): • Revision of Section 2 draft and supporting Annex materials nearly complete, includes: • Addition of physical properties information, • Hydrogen behavior in a metallic lattice, • Minor reorganization of health and exposure info, and • Expansion of combustion information, especially regarding deflagration. • Additional information on leaks recommended for annex • New information on leaks and permeation in metals (DoT) • Behavior of leaks in high pressure systems • Leak information to aid Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRAs) (NFPA and DoE) • Hazard information on plumes (Sandia and University of Ulster)

6.

7. AIAA Guide Revision Status(AIAA G-095-2004) • Section 4 – Expansion of laboratories material in review at WSTF (Ben Greene and Mark McClure) • Electrical information organization (Joan Hoopes): • Place in the Annex a “quick look-up” list locating material throughout text? • Section 7 - Update on purge recommendations in progress (John Jurns) • Revision initiatives that need refocusing: • No status on cold shock draft materials (Miguel Maes) • No status on exclusion zone information (S. Woods & Josephine Covino)

8. Status of Other Activities • Hydrogen Hazard Analysis Protocol (HHAP) • Required actions • Select a subcommittee chair and volunteer reviewers • Develop a review plan • Are there sufficient committee resources to commit to draft development? • Purdue researchers Dr. Pourpoint and grad student Tyler Voskuilen submitted comments • AIAA Hydrogen Safety Course • NASA slides adapted to AIAA format • First offering cancelled due to insufficient attendees • MOU between AIAA and NASA on hold (may not be deemed necessary)

9. News & Related Standards Activities • Flow Control Valve Work (S. McDougle) • Hydrogen/Helium Recovery (S. Woods) • Facility review and training for Blue Origin (S. Woods) • Other Announcements?

13. Requirements for Document Review • ANSI and AIAA require that no single interest category constitutes more than one-third of the membership of the HCOS • Three categories need to be considered: • Producer – an individual who represents and organization that produces or sells products and services within the scope of the HCOS • User – an individual who represents an organization that purchases or uses products and services within the scope of the HCOS • General Interest – This category includes regulatory agencies, researchers, academia, and consumers

14. Requirements for Document Review (Backup Slide) • Current member breakdown • Gov’t User – 6 • Gov’t Special Interest – 3 • Gov’t R & D Support Contractor – 4 • Industry – 1 • Academia – 4 • Total - 18

15. Requirements for Document Review(Backup Slide) • The following categories have been proposed: • Gov’t User – A government employee who manages a government program related to materials, products, systems, or services within the scope of the committee.  Example:  H.T. Everett • Gov’t Special Interest – A government employee who has a specific interest related to materials, products, systems, or services within the scope of the committee.   Example: Josephine Covino – safety. • Gov’t R & D Support Contractor – A civilian contractor supporting a government program or facility related to materials, products, systems, or services within the scope of the committee.  Example:  Steve Woods, Steve McDougle • Industry – An individual working in private industry on a project or in a field related to materials, products, systems, or services within the scope of the committee.  Example:  H.P. Jones at Underwriters Labs • Academia – An individual working at an institution of higher learning on a project or in a field related to materials, products, systems, or services within the scope of the committee.  Example:  Dr. Mohammad Naraghi
