TÜV NORD provides technical safety, inspection and certification along the entire hydrogen value chain – from electrolysis through to transport, storage, industrial applications and mobility solutions.
Hydrogen plays a central role in the energy transition. As a climate-friendly energy carrier, it can replace fossil fuels in industry, transport and energy supply. It enables zero-emission mobility solutions, supports the decarbonisation of energy-intensive sectors and offers flexible applications – from production through storage to use.
TÜV NORD accompanies this development as an independent technical service provider with many years of experience and interdisciplinary expertise. We support companies, energy suppliers, municipal utilities and project developers in the safe implementation of their hydrogen projects – nationally and internationally.
Our portfolio includes the testing and certification of hydrogen plants and components, safety-related assessments, inspections in line with applicable standards as well as technical support for permitting processes. We place the highest value on regulatory compliance and practice-oriented solutions.
For planning, simulation and engineering in the hydrogen sector, we cooperate within TÜV NORD GROUP with specialised companies – from process engineering to H₂ infrastructure. In this way, we can offer not only inspection and certification services, but also sound consulting across the entire hydrogen value chain.
Whether electrolysers, storage and transport technologies, hydrogen filling stations or industrial applications – we ensure that every stage of hydrogen use is designed to be safe, efficient and future-ready. We also provide advice and inspection when integrating hydrogen into existing infrastructures.
Our customers benefit not only from technical safety, but also from our experience in handling innovative technologies, regulatory requirements and complex project structures. As a neutral partner at eye level, we accompany your hydrogen projects from planning through to implementation.
With TÜV NORD, you can bring hydrogen safely into use – for a sustainable energy future.
We support complex permitting procedures and conduct environmental impact assessments in accordance with UVPG.
We prepare CO₂ balances for companies, products and processes and support decarbonisation.
We assess whether existing plants are suitable for safe hydrogen operation – and certify H₂-readiness.
We assess various fuel cell technologies for function, efficiency and safety.
We inspect plants in accordance with ATEX and develop protection concepts for handling explosive hydrogen.

Start your qualification for tomorrow’s energy market – with training from TÜV NORD Akademie.
The core business of TÜV NORD comprises Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC).
In addition, other companies within the TÜV NORD GROUP – separate from TÜV NORD’s TIC activities – provide comprehensive services along the hydrogen value chain. These include consulting and engineering services ranging from initial feasibility studies, funding advisory and regulatory engineering to plant construction and the implementation of EPC/EPCM projects.
The HydroHub is the central contact point for hydrogen within TÜV NORD GROUP. It brings together bundled 360° hydrogen expertise along the value chain – from production to transport, storage and application – from individual components to system integration.
DMT ENCOS designs hydrogen plants reliably and efficiently – from feasibility studies and simulation to engineering and permitting. As an independent part of TÜV NORD GROUP, our experts contribute long-standing experience and technical know-how to every project.
DMT ENERGY ENGINEERS provide consultancy on hydrogen-based energy systems – from simulation to project planning. They support infrastructure, permitting and scaling, and are part of the TÜV NORD GROUP as well as the HydroHub initiative.
