Claim 15:
16. An assembly for an electrochemical system, the assembly comprising:
a separator plate with at least one layer, and
a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) comprising:
an electrochemically active region,
a frame-like reinforcing layer surrounding the electrochemically active region, and
at least one tab for positioning the MEA relative to the separator plate and/or for fastening the MEA to the separator plate, wherein the tab has a constant thickness,

wherein the at least one layer of the separator plate has a first flat side and a second flat side opposite the first flat side,
wherein the tab is formed integrally with and connected at one side to the frame- like reinforcing layer and a free end of the tab is arranged on the side of the second flat side of the at least one layer of the separator plate, and at least one incision or recess of the frame-like reinforcing layer delimits a border of the tab, and
wherein the frame-like reinforcing layer is arranged on the first flat side of the at least one layer of the separator plate.
