Regulation ECE R 134 at a glance


Regulation No. 134 of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) relates specifically to the safety-relevant properties of hydrogen and fuel cell vehicles (HFCV).

Expanded testing expertise for hydrogen vehicles

Thanks to the new certification, MESSRING can now also test complete tank systems of hydrogen vehicles. This enables a targeted expansion of the range of services and offers customers an independently verified test infrastructure.


Safe test conditions

The tests are carried out under the highest safety standards. The tanks of the hydrogen vehicles are not filled with hydrogen, but with nitrogen. Nitrogen is non-flammable and enables the tests to be carried out safely.


With the new certification, MESSRING is expanding its portfolio and now also offers its customers standard-compliant tests for hydrogen vehicles in accordance with current international regulations.
