How to get your hydrogen solutions safe, reliable, and compliant
How to get your hydrogen solutions safe, reliable, and compliant
TÜV SÜD offers highly professional process safety and hydrogen-based pressure equipment compatibility testing solutions. We are familiar with the standards and regulations that must be met when it comes to production, transportation, and usage of hydrogen. Our experts reliably determine whether all requirements are met, including making sure the systems are safe, and components that are tested with hydrogen meet the performance requirements.
As an innovative and flexible energy carrier, hydrogen is being used more frequently today: In mobility, stationary applications, but increasingly also in industrial sectors such as steel and metal processing, the electrical industry and chemicals, offering a sustainable solution with environmental advantages. But no matter how hydrogen is used, safety must be ensured.
Hydrogen component testing is relevant for various materials, processes, and infrastructure. Whether that is through electrolysis, refueling stations, fuel cells or pressure vessels and tanks (stationary as well as portable): All components used in a hydrogen lifecycle, must comply with specified material requirements and safety standards.
When using hydrogen components, we must ensure that the use of hydrogen is safe for the user and the product is performing safely and smoothly. Within our hydrogen testing laboratory, we can perform a wide variety of safety- and performance-related tests to determine whether your components are suitable for hydrogen use. By working together with an experienced partner like TÜV SÜD you will gain various support and benefits:
TÜV SÜD has more than one hundred years’ experience in transportation and safety. We have a hydrogen testing laboratory at our disposal where we can conduct various tests according to your individual needs. Our vehicle component and material testing lab for hydrogen allows us to make reliable statements on general product safety. We can also forecast the performance of components over time. For manufacturers as well as users, this means a significant plus in safety.
With TÜV SÜD you have a neutral and independent third-party inspection at hand. Our pool of interdisciplinary experts follows a customer-focused approach and delivers quality and safety results with long-term value for your business. We minimise operational, occupational and safety risks and provide a wide range of services in the field of hydrogen component testing.
Our hydrogen testing portfolio consists of all tests required to evaluate the suitability and safety of components and systems like the following:
Moreover, our testing capabilities serve:
With our various TÜV SÜD laboratories we offer our customers a comprehensive service portfolio. We provide hydraulic tests, environmental simulation and tests for electromagnetic compatibility as well as vibration tests that are conducted in addition to tests with hydrogen.
Take advantage of our high testing solutions for your needs!
We regularly test materials (metallic and non-metallic) regarding the following criteria:
Many hydrogen systems rely on a fuel cell. Since the fuel cell is one of the most crucial elements in terms of application, quality and functionality it should be put through its paces. At TÜV SÜD we provide all testing and certification services, regarding fuel cell products.
More specifically, when it comes to hydrogen and fuel cell components, we offer tests with focus on:
Special tests build part of TÜV SÜD’s offering when it comes to the testing of hydrogen storage solutions which includes:
