March 2022, Weichai Power New Energy Engine Testing Center obtained the laboratory accreditation certificate (registration number: CNAS L16009) issued by the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS), becoming the industry's first to pass the tests for both the hydrogen fuel cell and solid oxide fuel cell products. The laboratory is equipped with R&D and testing capabilities of the whole technology chain of hydrogen fuel cell and solid oxide fuel cell products.
This certificate has an important position in the international accreditation system. Accreditation by CNAS means that Weichai Power New Energy Engine Testing Center fully complies with the international standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017 "General Requirements for Testing and Calibration Laboratory Capability" (CNAS-CL01 "Testing and Calibration Laboratory Capability Accreditation Guidelines"). Its test benches, testing equipment and other hardware, operational management level and inspection and testing technical capabilities have met the requirements of the international standard quality management system, and the experimental data and test reports are internationally authoritative with mutual recognition and credibility.
Weichai Power New Energy Engine Testing Center was completed and put into use in 2019. It has more than 100 sets of international advanced fuel cell components, systems and other professional instrument testing equipment, including the world's first system test bench with altitude environment simulation and the first domestic high-power stack test bench with environmental simulation that can support the research and development and testing of multi-purpose, multi-power sections, and a full range of fuel cell engines, stacks and core components. This is an industry-leading level in fuel cell testing capabilities.
