METHOD OF PRODUCING FUEL CELL STACK

A method of producing the fuel cell stack, including: a stacking step of stacking a plurality of power generation cells each including a membrane electrode assembly, a pair of separator plates sandwiching the membrane electrode assembly, and a seal member; and a compressing step of applying a compression load to the plurality of power generation cells stacked. In the compressing step, the compression load is applied in a manner that the membrane electrode assembly is plastically deformed, without exceeding an elastic limit of the seal member.
