Business challenges
Nowadays, hydrogen energy has become
an important national energy strategy,
and it is also a crucial energy development
direction for the global realization of the
\"double carbon\" goal. With the guidance
of domestic and international industrial
needs and policies, the hydrogen energy
industry has entered a period of rapid
development from its initial stage. During
the process of industrial development,
national and international standards are
constantly being improved. Hydrogen
energy companies will face issues such
as standards, certification, inspection,
testing, and export during their business
development. SGS Industrial Service
Hydrogen Energy and Fuel Cell Expert
Team, as a senior hydrogen energy
capability organization in China, uses more
than 20 years of industrial experience to
provide enterprises with comprehensive
or customized inspection, certification,
training, and consulting services. They
assist enterprises in building hydrogen
energy capabilities. Additionally, there is
a \"SGS Hydrogen Label\" specifically
issued for hydrogen energy to reflect the
enterprise's hydrogen energy system,
and hydrogen-related products that have
passed SGS third-party professional
certification. This helps solve the doubts
and problems of the organization, lubricate
global hydrogen energy export business
and project implementation, and create
capability value for the enterprise.
The SGS Hydrogen Label Mark is a
certification launched by SGS to empower
the global hydrogen industry by gathering
global standard technical force. The SGS
Hydrogen Label certification is based on the
hydrogen energy industry's still-developing
standard system, which targets ISO, IEC,
EN, GB, and other standard requirements
and test methods applicable to hydrogen
production, hydrogen storage, fuel cells,
and industrial hydrogen-related equipment.
Enterprises, manufacturers, technologies,
and products can all pass the SGS Hydrogen
Label certification based on the corresponding
applicable standards. The SGS Hydrogen
Label represents the certified organization,
manufacturing plant, technology, and
products with internationally recognized
safety and quality.
