Navigating Hydrogen Standards: What Design Engineers Need to Know

In this episode of The 1895 Podcast, we dive into the complex world of standards and certifications shaping the hydrogen industry.
While there’s no single global standard for clean energy transportation, several influential frameworks guide design engineers in ensuring safety, reliability, and compliance.
We’ll explore the most prominent standards you should know, demystify what it means when a product is “listed for certification,” and break down the rigorous testing processes - from corrosion and burst testing to vibration and pressure evaluation - that fluid system components undergo. Plus, we’ll clarify the different types of documentation available and why these records are critical for transparency, traceability, and regulatory confidence. Whether you’re designing systems or managing compliance, this conversation will help you navigate the evolving landscape of hydrogen technology with confidence.
