Test method for adaptability to operating conditions of
membrane electrode assembly used in PEM fuel cells
1 Scope
This guiding technical document specifies the terms and definitions, boundary
conditions, test environmental conditions, test preparation of the test method
for typical car operating conditions of proton exchange membrane fuel cell
(PEMFC) membrane electrode (MEA), test experiment and test report on
