FAQ
The conformity assessment process for hydrogen electrolyzers is designed to ensure the safety, performance and reliability of hydrogen production equipment. The key steps include:
- Pre-assessment
- Detailed design and risk review
- Comprehensive testing and validation
- On-site safety audits
- Documentation review and quality management
- Issuance of attestation of conformity
When pursuing conformity assessment in accordance with ISO 22734 for hydrogen electrolyzers, you may face a variety of challenges that span technical, regulatory and operational aspects. Our DEKRA experts are there for you to guide you through these challenges and help you solving these issues.
Yes, conformity assessment in accordance with ISO 22734 can be integrated with conformity assessments of other standards for broader compliance.
Conformity assessment in accordance with ISO 22734 provides detailed guidance on the safe design, construction and operation of hydrogen generators using water electrolysis to ensure the protection of operating and service personnel as well as critical equipment and the environment. Tested products demonstrate regulatory compliance while prioritizing more reliable production, decreasing unplanned downtime or maintenance and ensuring operational, employee and environmental safety.
A holistic conformity assessment in accordance with ISO 22734 can cover three major areas including:
- design documentation review
- type testing
- routine testing
Design documentation review and type testing can typically be done at the OEM production facilities independent of your project. Routine testing, however, should be conducted on-site once the electrolysis unit has been completely assembled, erected and integrated into its periphery. Ideally, conformity assessment starts in the engineering phase of your project and is completed before commissioning.
