The invention relates to a fuel cell stack (100) having at least one fuel cell (101) which has a membrane (CCM) for separating an anode side (A) of the fuel cell (101) from a cathode side (K) of the fuel cell (101), an anode-side gas diffusion layer (GDLA), a cathode-side gas diffusion layer (GDLK) and a bipolar plate (BPP) for separating the fuel cell (101) from an adjacent fuel cell (101) or a housing. According to the invention, the membrane (CCM) protrudes beyond the anode-side gas diffusion layer (GDLA) and the cathode-side gas diffusion layer (GDLK) in an edge region (R) located outside an active area (AF) of the membrane (CCM), and the membrane (CCM) has a centering dam (10) in the edge region (R) of the anode side (A) or of the cathode side (K).

A separator plate for an electrochemical system, comprising a first and a second metal layer arranged with flat sides adjacent to each other. The first and the second metal layer each having at least one through-opening for supplying and/or discharging a fluid. Circumferential edges of the through-openings are formed at least in part by a half-bead. An open edge of the half-bead is angled so as to form a collar.
