RIFT and Bureau Veritas are joining forces to ensure the safe and compliant deployment of Iron Fuel Technology. The partnership brings together RIFT’s breakthrough clean technology and Bureau Veritas’ global expertise in testing, inspection and certification services.
As RIFT moves from pioneering demonstrations toward commercial deployment, Bureau Veritas will support the development of RIFT’s projects to meet the highest standards of safety, quality and regulatory compliance. For Bureau Veritas, this collaboration reflects their commitment to advancing safe, sustainable industrial innovation in Europe’s energy transition. Their shared focus on safety and reliability will help build trust among industrial partners, regulators and investors as Iron Fuel moves toward large-scale use.
Why safety and compliance matter now
Deploying a new industrial energy technology involves complex technical systems, strict regulations and high expectations from stakeholders. Certification and compliance are not just formalities. They are critical foundations for operating at scale.
By working together from the early stages of commercialisation, RIFT and Bureau Veritas can integrate safety, quality and compliance principles into the design of Iron Fuel systems. This proactive approach helps ensure that the technology is not only technically viable but also ready to be deployed responsibly and reliably in real-world industrial environments.
A signal of maturity
“Partnering with Bureau Veritas is a strong signal to the market: our technology is ready for the real world. Their expertise helps us demonstrate not only what is possible, but also what is responsible.” – Mark Verhagen, CEO of RIFT
The partnership underscores the maturity of Iron Fuel Technology and RIFT’s readiness to move from innovation to implementation. It also reflects how both organisations are contributing their complementary strengths to accelerate the shift toward clean, safe and scalable industrial energy solutions.
A shared commitment to safe innovation
“At Bureau Veritas, we are more than auditors and inspectors – we are strategic partners in driving clean, compliant, and innovative industrial technologies. Our global expertise allows us to rigorously verify technological solutions, ensuring they meet the highest standards of safety, performance, and regulatory requirements. We are committed to supporting sustainable industrial transformation through expert assessment and independent verification. For RIFT we delivered support in compliance and verification by expertly assessing their technological solution against current laws and regulations. Our consultants ensure that innovative technologies meet the most complex legal requirements on health, safety and environmental.” – Tobias Jansen
With Bureau Veritas as a strategic partner, RIFT is reinforcing the foundations needed for industrial-scale deployment. “Together, we are ensuring that every step forward is not just ambitious but also safe, compliant and built on trust.”
Looking ahead
The collaboration between RIFT and Bureau Veritas is part of a broader effort to prepare Iron Fuel Technology for large-scale industrial adoption. By embedding safety and compliance from the outset, the partners are laying the groundwork for reliable, certifiable systems that can power the future of industry. This partnership marks another step toward turning innovation into implementation and building the trust needed to accelerate the energy transition.
