Description
Gain legal certainty in dealing with hydrogen. Our third course enables participants to find their way around the relevant regulations and provides detailed, legally secure, up-to-date knowledge of the specific regulations for the planning, construction and operation of H2 plants and systems. The application and approval process for a hydrogen production and filling station is presented as an example and the participants are thus taught which legal instruments can be used to plan, apply for, approve, build and operate H2 plants. Our courses include a final test and a certificate of participation.
Benefits
- The knowledge imparted enables the participants to independently find their way around the relevant regulations and provides detailed, legally secure, up-to-date knowledge of the specific regulations for the planning, construction and operation of H2 plants and systems.
- The application and approval process for a hydrogen production and filling station will be presented as an example and the participants will learn which legal instruments can be used to plan, apply for, approve, build and operate H2 plants.
Target Group
Our courses are suitable both for career changers and for deepening specific professional knowledge. The target group includes:
- Professionals and managers who bear responsibility
- Staff involved in the design, manufacture, approval and CE certification of hydrogen systems.
- Project Manager and Product Manager
Learning objectives
- The applicable standards (DIN/VDE/ISO) for the most important safety topics are presented, explained and applied in practical examples.
