New York – October 12, 2026 -- The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has mapped more than 500 published hydrogen standards and concluded that deployment is often held back not by missing standards but by difficulty in implementing and applying them. The finding comes from a new report, "Advancing Hydrogen Standards and Codes," and a companion document, the Hydrogen Standards Landscape.
The report summarizes ANSI's hydrogen standards workshop, held June 22-23, 2026, in Washington, DC. It was the latest activity of the Hydrogen Standards Coordination Initiative. Participants came from industry, government, standards development organizations (SDOs), conformity assessment bodies, research institutions and end-user communities.
