Vienna, Austria, Feb. 4, 2026 – As hydrogen infrastructure scales rapidly across energy, transport and industrial sectors, operators face mounting safety, integrity and regulatory challenges. Recent global studies highlight increased risks linked to hydrogen embrittlement, leak detection failures and inconsistent application of international standards, underscoring the urgent need for specialised inspection and maintenance expertise.

Against this backdrop, the Inspection and Maintenance of Hydrogen Installations online live training, taking place 11–13 May 2026, addresses critical gaps in asset integrity management for hydrogen systems. The programme aligns directly with current industry concerns around material degradation, lifecycle risk and compliance with evolving API, ASME, ISO and EN requirements.

The training explores proven solutions through in-depth coverage of hydrogen-specific damage mechanisms, including embrittlement and high-temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA), alongside advanced non-destructive testing techniques such as ultrasonic testing, phased array UT and digital radiography. Participants will examine inspection workflows, predictive maintenance strategies, leak detection technologies and real-world failure case studies reflecting operational challenges faced by hydrogen pipelines, storage systems, compressors and electrolysers.

Designed for inspection engineers, maintenance managers, materials specialists and asset integrity professionals, the course delivers practical methodologies to improve safety, reliability and regulatory alignment. Led by industry expert Dr. Daniel Balos, the live interactive format emphasises actionable tools, inspection planning and maintenance decision-making applicable across hydrogen production, storage, transport and utilisation facilities.
