Event: 45-minute Discussion Club “IMEKO Talks on Chemical Measurements”
Organised by: IMEKO TC24 “Chemical Measurements”


Topic:   Metrology for Hydrogen Fuel Quality: Reference Materials and Proficiency Testing

Date and time: 26th February 2026, 1 p.m. (CET - Rome time)

Online

Fee: free of charge for participants

Moderator:  Dr Erinc Engin
 

 

Short description of the discussion topic:   

NPL’s Hydrogen Group develops the metrological foundations needed to ensure reliable hydrogen fuel quality in line with ISO 14687 and EN 17124. The team produces accredited reference materials, advanced analytical methods and sustainable proficiency testing schemes to support laboratory accreditation and harmonised measurement across Europe. Recent work includes validation of new sampling systems, assessment of contaminant stability in cylinders and type IV tanks, and guidance for accurate hydrogen fuel analysis. These developments address critical gaps in calibrants, sampling and intercomparison, enabling trustworthy hydrogen quality measurement for emerging FCEV and heavy‑duty applications.

 

Briefly about the moderator:

Dr Erinc Engin

Dr Erinc Engin is a Senior Scientist in Energy Gas Metrology at the National Physical Laboratory, specialising in hydrogen quality, gas analysis and primary reference materials.

TC24 - Chemical Measurements

The Technical Committee 24 of IMEKO (IMEKO TC24) was founded in 2008 in order to provide an international forum of effective collaboration in all branches of Chemistry. Our goal is to improve the reliability, comparability, and traceability of chemical measurements in many sectors, addressing industrial and monitoring laboratories’ needs and on-site measurements. During the last few years, significant changes occurred in the world of chemical measurements, and we in TC24 try to rise awareness and share knowledge about them through our activities.

TC24 is composed of 5 Working Groups, covering the main fields of application addressed in the activities:

  • Chemical and biochemical sensors
  • Traceability and fundamental chemical metrology
  • Separation techniques
  • Measurements for Cultural Heritage
  • Process Analytical Technology

TC24 - Chemical Measurements - About

Collaborative efforts mainly involve the metrology community, field and sectoral laboratories (testing, analytical and industrial), proficiency testing providers, producers of reference materials. TC24 membership currently involves about 20 persons from 15 countries worldwide.
The first major activity was the organization of the scientific program of MEFNM 2008, the International Conference on Metrology of Environment, Food and Nutrition Measurements in cooperation with TC19 "Environment Measurements" and TC23 "Food and Nutritional Measurements". The conference highlighted the inter-linkages between metrology in chemistry as applied to specific groups of measurements in the environment, food, and nutrition. It was a forum to communicate to application fields (environment and food sectors) the concepts of metrology in chemistry.

TC24 - Chemical Measurements - Aims

The goal of TC24 is to connect experts and to ensure international interchange of opinions and experiences in the field of chemical measurements. Our main areas of interest are:

  1. Inter-laboratory and proficiency testing schemes, "traceability" of the assigned value
  2. Measurement traceability in conformity assessment
  3. Traceability of chemical measurements in the health sector
  4. Traceability of on-site measurements
  5. Metrological needs and requirements (reference materials, reference methods, calibration, etc.)
  6. Chemical metrology in industry
  7. QA in analytical measurements
  8. Requirements for equipment, confirmation of accuracy, and suitability
  9. Remote measurements
  10. Metal speciation analyses
  11. Measurements for corrosion assessment
  12. Measurements for cultural heritage
  13. Measurements for Forensic Chemistry
  14. Instrumentation and Equipment
  15. Traceability of environmental measurements in different matrices (water, soils, sediments, etc) at regulation limits levels
