DNV has announced the release of a new standard, the Electrolyser Systems DNV-ST-J301, aimed at enhancing safety and compliance in hydrogen production through water electrolysis. This standard is designed to seamlessly integrate with the existing ISO 22734 framework for hydrogen generators using water electrolysis, providing a comprehensive approach to address specific risks associated with hydrogen production. DNV emphasizes that the standard covers the entire lifecycle of electrolyzer systems, offering a clear and concise document that simplifies compliance for industry players. The release of this standard is timely, aligning with the EU Innovation Fund hydrogen auction, where certifications are expected to be crucial for project success. The development of the standard involved a joint industry project with 30 global partners, ensuring that it consolidates insights and best practices from across the industry. By tailoring solutions to the unique hazards of hydrogen technologies and aligning with emerging global regulations, DNV aims to set a definitive benchmark for safe, reliable, and scalable hydrogen operations.
