Hydrogen serves as a critical industrial element, supporting petroleum refining, fertilizer and chemical production, and metal processing, while also offering a path to cleaner transport and power systems through fuel cells. Beyond its current uses, hydrogen holds promise as a large-scale energy storage medium, enabling excess renewable electricity to be converted, stored, and used when demand is high.
Standards play a key role in supporting the full hydrogen value chain—including production, storage, carbon capture, transportation, utilization, and related infrastructure.
ANSI is developing a standards landscape to increase awareness about published and in-development standards, codes, guidance, and related conformity assessment materials. The landscape will include various metadata about the document status and associated technical pillars. The landscape will be developed through direct contributions from ANSI’s Request for Information and ongoing technical events.
In March 2026, ANSI will host two 3-hour webinars which will include briefings from various standards and codes developers, highlighting their current activities and providing opportunities for dialogue with participants.
In spring 2026, ANSI will host a hybrid workshop in the Washington, DC area focused on pre-standardization research, standards and conformity assessment needs, and potential regulatory framework considerations.
Check back for more details in March 2026 or sign up to receive updates directly.
ANSI invites sponsorships to directly offset ANSI's costs of executing the project and extends its appreciation to the following organizations for their generous sponsorship towards this initiative.
