2025 Center for Hydrogen Safety Asia-Pacific Conference

Building the Foundation: Advancing Hydrogen Standards for a Safe, Reliable and Trustworthy Industry

While uncertainty remains around hydrogen’s ultimate role in the energy transition, it is clear that hydrogen will play a critical role in specific, well-suited applications. To ensure a safe and reliable industry, it is essential that standards development and adoption continue at pace, providing the necessary frameworks for its effective deployment.


This presentation will outline the Hydrogen Technologies Committee’s refreshed work plan and strategic focus, emphasizing the importance of industry-wide collaboration in shaping a robust hydrogen ecosystem. Attendees will gain insight into the current status of Australian hydrogen standards projects, exploring key developments and challenges that influence domestic progress.


Additionally, the session will highlight international efforts, particularly within the ISO/IEC space, that are shaping the global hydrogen landscape. Understanding these advancements will be crucial for aligning Australia’s standards with international best practices, driving consistency, and ensuring seamless integration into global markets.

By fostering innovation and prioritizing safety, we aim to build a hydrogen industry that is both resilient and adaptable, ready to meet future energy demands. Join us as we explore the evolving standardization landscape and the vital steps needed to secure hydrogen’s place in the clean energy transition.
