Kiwa Gastec is a leading testing and certification body for hydrogen and other gas-fuelled appliances. We also specialise in fuel cell power, mCHP, portable device and fuel cell systems – whether fuelled by pure hydrogen or using other feedstocks.

Hydrogen is an interesting substitute to natural gas. Especially since research demonstrates that existing natural gas infrastructures can be made suitable for the distribution of hydrogen relatively easily. Kiwa anticipates with a new approval requirement (AR) 214 "Suitability for hydrogen gas".
