Overview
Hydrogen sector: an overview of conformity processes
In hydrogen technologies, pressure equipment (PED), explosive atmospheres (ATEX) and material compatibility (hydrogen embrittlement) are addressed together. The IEC 62282 series applies to fuel cell products, and pressure vessel legislation is decisive for storage and transport.
How we work
Six steps from scope to certificate
Scope
We determine your product, target market and sector; the required legislation list is produced.
Quote
Testing and audit items are priced separately; the quote is delivered within 24 hours.
Sample / Planning
Sample requirements are shared, or an on-site audit is scheduled.
Testing & Audit
Testing or audit is carried out according to the method of the relevant standard.
Report & Document
A report is issued; if within certification scope, the process proceeds to the decision stage.
Maintaining the validation
Surveillance audits and legislative changes are tracked.
