Brief description

The certification program describes the supplementary tests required to qualify gas appliances for the addition of up to 20% hydrogen by volume to natural gas (G20) as fuel gas. This ZP applies to appliances of appliance category E until there is a uniform European regulation. DVGW e.V. is working intensively on revising the national and European regulations with regard to the use of hydrogen and its admixture. Temporary bridges are needed where H2 is currently only given limited consideration in the regulations. DVGW CERT GmbH offers these with its H2 certification programs (ZP), which define (additional) requirements to determine the suitability of gas-related products for hydrogen applications. DVGW CERT GmbH benefits from its decades of expertise as an industry certifier in the gas sector as well as from the extensive specialist knowledge that DVGW e.V. and its subsidiaries have acquired through research and innovation programs with a focus on hydrogen.
