Assuring Safety and Performance for the Hydrogen Economy
Hydrogen plays a central role in global decarbonization—powering transport, energy storage, and industrial processes. Yet its small molecular size, flammability, and tendency to cause metal embrittlement demand rigorous safety and quality verification.
BQCIS Hydrogen & Fuel Cells testing ensures complete conformity with ISO 14687 and SAE J2719 standards. We conduct ultra-trace purity analysis, leakage detection, and materials compatibility assessments to guarantee the safe, efficient, and reliable deployment of hydrogen systems across production, storage, and distribution networks.
Our specialized laboratories use high-sensitivity gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify contaminants that can degrade fuel cells, ensuring product integrity and operational excellence throughout the hydrogen value chain.

Success Story
Purity Testing Secures Certification for Green Hydrogen Producer
A green hydrogen startup needed independent certification to verify compliance with ISO 14687 purity standards for fuel cell-grade hydrogen before securing automotive OEM contracts.
BQCIS developed a multi-stage analytical protocol using gas chromatography with thermal conductivity and flame ionization detectors. Ultra-trace quantification confirmed impurity levels within limits for CO, CO₂, and moisture.
The BQCIS verification report enabled the company to obtain full ISO 14687 compliance certification, unlocking commercial distribution and establishing its position as a trusted supplier in the hydrogen mobility sector.
