Recognition as Approved Certification Body for CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme

May 06, 2025

We are proud to announce our recognition as an approved certification body for the CertifHy EU RFNBO Voluntary Scheme. This milestone strengthens our leadership position in hydrogen certification and reinforces our commitment to ensuring compliance with the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED).

Expanding our capabilities with hydrogen certification

With this recognition, we can now perform:

  • Precertification audits
  • Initial certification audits
  • Recertification audits

These services will help hydrogen producers and suppliers to comply with the EU Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO) framework. This scheme is based on the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED), which sets stringent sustainability and greenhouse gas reduction criteria for clean energy production.

Strategic growth in hydrogen certification

“This recognition marks a significant step in SGS’s sustainability and energy transition services, reinforcing our role as a trusted partner in hydrogen certification and RED compliance,” said Bhaveshkumar Prajapati, Global Technical Director Industries & Environment Audit and Compliance.

Demonstrate that your hydrogen and hydrogen derivatives adhere to the highest environmental and sustainability standards and gain access to EU markets. Learn more about our CertifHy EU RFNBO certification.
