A hydrogen permeability testing device can measure hydrogen amount(s) entering a metal material by electrochemical hydrogen permeation. The device may include: a metal specimen having a hydrogen entry face through which hydrogen enters, a hydrogen detection face on which the entered hydrogen is detected, and a metal plating formed on the hydrogen detection face to detect the entered hydrogen; a reference and counter electrode for making an electrochemical reaction progress; an electrolytic vessel provided on a hydrogen detection face side, housing the reference and counter electrode, and containing an aqueous sodium silicate solution having a freezing point of ≤0° C. and capable of suppressing residual current to ≤10 nA/cm2 when an electric potential of the hydrogen detection face is −1 to 1 V relative to the reference electrode; and a measurement unit which measures the amount of hydrogen based on a current value resulting from the electrochemical reaction.
