         Required Services:

         The FCH 2 JU tendered a contract for the services of one or several contractors (working together) to develop an intermediate methodology for the certification and approval of hydrogen refueling station (HRS) as regards their ability to measure the amount of hydrogen accurately enough.

         This methodology must be implemented through a specific testing protocol that is accepted and used by the appropriate national authorities in all Member States deploying HRS in Europe and possibly worldwide. Within the duration of the framework contract, this methodology must be validated through the necessary field tests in operating HRS in Europe.
