The problem of the standardization of hydrogen is an important topic for increasing its production, while raising many questions. Hydrogen and its derivatives are central components of a decarbonized energy system. Today, the scientific community pays great attention to the standardization of hydrogen itself. On the one hand, many countries are now establishing regulatory frameworks for renewable and low-carbon hydrogen, often accompanied by specific requirements for hydrogen. Similar processes are underway in Germany, Japan and the United States. On the other hand, there is no common standards for hydrogen storage and transportation. However, the harmonization of approaches to standardization of hydrogen in the field of transportation and storage gives the great advantages for the development of trade. Now the work on the elaboration of conditions for such harmonization is underway at Working Party on Regulatory Cooperation and Standardization Policies (WP.6).
