RFNBO and quality management

In the energy sector, and more specifically in the green hydrogen sector, risk management and process quality are inextricably linked to HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) performance. For Lhyfe, a pioneer in renewable hydrogen production, ISO 9001 certification attests to the robustness and implementation of its quality management system, guaranteeing the reliability of its solutions across the entire value chain.

ISO 9001 certification is an international quality management standard that attests to an organisation’s ability to provide services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. It is based on a process-based approach and a culture of continuous improvement to enhance the company’s overall performance. This global recognition ensures that the organisation has a firm grasp of its working methods whilst placing customer satisfaction at the heart of its priorities. By certifying its sites, an organisation demonstrates its operational reliability and its ability to thrive in a demanding industrial environment.

ISO 9001: A mark of trust and continuous improvement

Certified since 5 April 2023 by the certification body Bureau Veritas, Lhyfe is committed to transparency. The ISO 9001 standard reinforces its corporate culture through fundamental pillars:

• Optimised management to ensure the safety of production operations.
• Reliable and consistent services, tailored to the challenges of the energy transition.
• Analysis and development to anticipate the needs of the hydrogen market.

A certified scope supporting RFNBO compliance

The ISO 9001 certification awarded to Lhyfe covers the entire industrial cycle, including development, design, construction engineering, as well as the production and delivery of renewable hydrogen. This accreditation applies to Lhyfe SA for cross-functional roles, as well as to the production sites in Bouin, Buléon and Bessières.

This rigorous quality approach serves as a stepping stone towards obtaining RFNBO (Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin) certification. Essential under the European RED II directive, RFNBO certification officially attests to the renewable nature of the hydrogen produced. Building on ISO 9001, Lhyfe guarantees:

• Proof of the origin of the green electricity used,
• A management system capable of meeting the temporal and geographical correlation criteria required by the European Union,
• The assurance for our customers that they are using fuel that complies with the strictest decarbonisation standards.

Transparency and international traceability

In line with our values, Lhyfe is officially listed on the international search engine IAF CertSearch. This platform enables all stakeholders to verify the validity of the certification in real time.

By structuring our growth around the ISO 9001 standard and RFNBO requirements, we guarantee a secure, sustainable industrial framework and exemplary traceability for the future of energy.
