One of the key enablers is the rapid development of the hydrogen economy. Vast amounts of public and private money are being invested in the production, storage and transportation of hydrogen as well as the fuelling station network for the increasing range of hydrogen vehicles.  <br\/><br\/>As the hydrogen economy rapidly develops, safety must be the top priority. Standardisation is a key step on this journey to net-zero. The ISO 19880-1:2020 Standard is very specific about the requirements for grounding and bonding, including for hydrogen delivery systems such as trucks or trailers. The Standard states that electrical resistance between metallic parts connected or in contact together should be less than 10 ohms.   <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-aaa4760 stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"aaa4760\"><style>.stk-aaa4760 {background-color:#f5f5f5 !important;padding-top:80px !important;padding-bottom:80px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;}.stk-aaa4760:before{background-color:#f5f5f5 !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 767px){.stk-aaa4760 {padding-top:60px !important;padding-bottom:60px !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-aaa4760-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-d492e92\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"d492e92\"><style>.stk-d492e92 {max-width:1024px !important;min-width:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-d492e92 {max-width:90% !important;min-width:auto !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-d492e92-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-d492e92-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-a1ceb9d\" data-block-id=\"a1ceb9d\"><style>.stk-a1ceb9d {margin-bottom:30px !important;}.stk-a1ceb9d-column{--stk-columns-spacing:0px !important;--stk-column-gap:60px !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 767px){.stk-a1ceb9d {margin-bottom:0px !important;--stk-col-order-1:2 !important;--stk-col-order-2:1 !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-a1ceb9d-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-ebce7ed\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"ebce7ed\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-ebce7ed-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-ebce7ed-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-e969953\" data-block-id=\"e969953\"><style>.stk-e969953 .stk-img-wrapper{width:100% !important;height:395px !important;}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-2298\" src=\"https:\/\/www.malux.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Belysning-vid-nod.jpg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"537\" alt=\"Types of emergency lighting units\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.malux.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Belysning-vid-nod.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.malux.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Belysning-vid-nod-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.malux.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Belysning-vid-nod-768x412.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-17382b0\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"17382b0\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-17382b0-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-17382b0-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-heading stk-block-heading stk-block-heading--v2 stk-block stk-1fe0537\" id=\"static-electricity-as-an-ignition-source\" data-block-id=\"1fe0537\"><h2 class=\"stk-block-heading__text\">Static Electricity as an Ignition Source<\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-13f29ea\" id=\"corem-lam-solorro-in-nus-nostempo\" data-block-id=\"13f29ea\"><style>@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-13f29ea {margin-bottom:30px !important;}}<\/style><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Each day there are fires and explosions caused by the ignition of flammable and combustible chemicals. One of the most common causes of the ignition is a spark caused by a sudden discharge of accumulated static electricity. <br\/><br\/>When two differing materials move against each other, electrons can be exchanged, leaving an excess of positive charge on one material and an equal negative charge on the other. This is the generation of static electricity. During the transfer or processing of a material, significant amounts of static charge can accumulate very quickly, leading to the rapid increase of voltage on the object (e.g. road tanker).  <br\/><br\/>Voltages can rapidly exceed the break-down voltage of the surrounding atmosphere and create the risk of a sudden discharge to a nearby conductor in the form of a spark.<br\/><br\/>The amount of energy released by this sudden discharge can easily exceed the Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE) of the potentially flammable atmosphere and thereby lead to a fire or explosion.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-710c87c

This massive airship was filled with hydrogen and became engulfed in flames, causing 36 fatalities. According to Konstantinos Giapis, Professor of Chemical Engineering at Caltech, the ignition was caused by sparks as static electricity discharged.  <br\/><br\/>In the article, \u2018Statistical analysis of fires and explosions attributed to static electricity over the last 50 years in Japanese industry\u2019, Ohsawa found that 9% of such incidents involved hydrogen.<br\/><br\/>The ISO Technical Report on hydrogen safety clearly recognises a high-energy spark discharge as a major risk (5.3.7) and refers the reader to the recommended practices for grounding methods that can be found in various national and international standards (7.3.3.1).<br\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns

For that reason, best practice guidance such as IEC TS 60079-32-1 and NFPA 77 recommend resistance levels of 10 ohms or less between the object requiring static grounding and the verified<br\/>grounding point.   <br\/><br\/>The reason for this is that resistances higher than 10 ohms in the circuit between the object and the verified grounding point could indicate potential compromise of the grounding circuit, like a poor initial connection to the equipment via the grounding clamp, or loose \/ corroding connections that could otherwise prevent the passage of static charges to ground.<br\/><br\/>The most practical way to verify a resistance level of 10 ohms or less between the object to be grounded and the verified grounding point during the process is to use a monitored grounding system. A grounding system that continually monitors to a 10 ohm or less permissive threshold provides continuous indication of a connection that adheres to international standards and best practice recommendations <br\/><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-tzkrx77\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"tzkrx77\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-tzkrx77-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-tzkrx77-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-image stk-block-image stk-block stk-e1olck6\" data-block-id=\"e1olck6\"><style>.stk-e1olck6 .stk-img-wrapper{width:100% !important;}<\/style><figure><span class=\"stk-img-wrapper stk-image--shape-stretch\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"stk-img wp-image-2308\" src=\"https:\/\/www.malux.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/uk-ta07-hydrogen_safety-0723-r1_1433c3f5-1.jpg\" width=\"796\" height=\"912\" alt=\"Types of emergency lighting units\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.malux.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/uk-ta07-hydrogen_safety-0723-r1_1433c3f5-1.jpg 796w, https:\/\/www.malux.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/uk-ta07-hydrogen_safety-0723-r1_1433c3f5-1-262x300.jpg 262w, https:\/\/www.malux.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/uk-ta07-hydrogen_safety-0723-r1_1433c3f5-1-768x880.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px\" \/><\/span><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-columns stk-block-columns stk-block stk-gwovdyq stk-block-background\" data-block-id=\"gwovdyq\"><style>.stk-gwovdyq {background-color:#f5f5f5 !important;padding-top:80px !important;padding-bottom:80px !important;margin-bottom:0px !important;}.stk-gwovdyq:before{background-color:#f5f5f5 !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 767px){.stk-gwovdyq {padding-top:60px !important;padding-bottom:60px !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-row stk-inner-blocks stk-block-content stk-content-align stk-gwovdyq-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-4wish8x\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"4wish8x\"><style>.stk-4wish8x {max-width:1024px !important;min-width:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;margin-left:auto !important;}@media screen and (max-width: 1023px){.stk-4wish8x {max-width:90% !important;min-width:auto !important;}}<\/style><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-4wish8x-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-4wish8x-inner-blocks\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-text stk-block-text stk-block stk-7091d6c\" data-block-id=\"7091d6c\"><p class=\"stk-block-text__text\">Newson Gale\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malux.com\/produkter\/earth-rite-rtr-for-tankbil\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Earth-Rite\u00ae II<\/a> range of monitored grounding systems have achieved third-party verification (SIRA \/ CSA) of the 10 ohms or less permissive resistance threshold helping achieve compliance with international standards and best practice recommendations.
