Hydrogen is considered a key pillar of the energy transition—but its global scale-up remains complex and uneven. A look at international strategies reveals the challenges and what makes the difference.

The IEC TS 60079-44 demonstrates how competency in explosion protection can be systematically assessed and managed in the future — going far beyond traditional training certificates.

2-WISE makes Ethernet-APL in hazardous areas simpler, safer, and more efficient. This standardized approach significantly reduces engineering effort and greatly simplifies intrinsic safety verification.

For operators of buildings and industrial facilities, this leads to a clear conclusion: a reliable backup power supply is no longer optional—it is essential.

With NOA and the Asset Administration Shell, plant data can for the first time be used in a consistent, secure, and fully automated way. This saves time, reduces errors, and ensures full transparency in documentation and compliance.

Explosion protection is often strongly associated with electrical and electronic systems: cables, motors, control units. But protecting against explosions goes far beyond that. Even purely mechanical equipment can pose a hazard.
