Codes and Standards
Codes and standards have repeatedly been identified as a major institutional barrier to deploying hydrogen technologies and developing a hydrogen economy. To enable the commercialization of hydrogen in consumer products, new model building codes and equipment and other technical standards will need to be developed and recognized by federal, state, and local governments. DOE is working to identify those codes and standards, to facilitate the development of such standards, and to support publicly available research and certification investigations that are necessary to develop a basis for such codes and standards.
 Led by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, DOE is working with code development organizations, code officials, industry experts and national laboratory scientists to draft new model codes and standards for domestic and international production, distribution, storage, manufacturing and utilization of hydrogen.
National hydrogen fueling station codes and standards have been recently developed to ensure safe development and deployment.
