Prof. Dr. Thorsten Arnhold discusses conformity assessment for the hydrogen economy.

The global call for environmentally friendly production methods is now unmistakable. This also results in numerous demands on the international standardisation organisations.

There are countless examples of standardisation projects that were implemented in a very short space of time at the insistence of industry or related sectors. Here is one example.

Hydrogen is the shooting star among industrial gases, but should be treated with a great deal of respect.

When dealing with hydrogen, new safety concepts and special training programs are required for people who come into contact with hydrogen applications. Learn more about current IECEx discussions.

Risk assessment is common practice in explosion protection. Read this column to learn more about risk assessment in hazardous areas.

Learn more about the requirements for cells and batteries for safe operation in hazardous areas.

The hydrogen value chain is full of safety challenges. Find out what is important in explosion protection and what tasks the standardisation committees are yet to tackle.

Digitalization is playing a pivotal role in the shipping and maritime industries today. Why? Because it is having a major impact on costs, availability and performance efficiencies. 

Hydrogen is the energy carrier of the future. But what about safety when building a green hydrogen infrastructure?

To deliver products and services in nuclear power plants, ISO 19443 must be complied with.

Explosion hazards can occur in clean rooms due to various processes. As a result, the requirements of explosion protection must be met in clean rooms. Learn how this is done.
