Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), in collaboration with British Standards Institution (BSI) and the UK Government's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), hosted a two-day India-UK Standards Partnership Workshop on Green Hydrogen in New Delhi.

The workshop aimed to strengthen India-UK cooperation on hydrogen standardization through green hydrogen production and regulations.

The event is a part of a schedule of wider activity, through the UK Government’s Standards Partnership programme which aims to increase the use of international standards in India to accelerate growth, attract investment and enhance trade.

The event emphasises on safe, scalable and globally harmonised Regulations, Codes and Standards (RCS). The event was also focused at adoption of fast-track Publicly Available Specification (PAS) standards and global hydrogen certification.

Abbey Dorian, Energy Sector Lead at BSI said during the workshop, “The India-UK Standards Partnership Workshop on green hydrogen marks a milestone in fostering international cooperation for achieving clean energy transitions. It serves as a testament to the importance of knowledge exchange, standardisation, and innovation in building a sustainable hydrogen market.”

She further added, “India and the UK have a shared ambition to become leaders in green hydrogen, supporting the goal of a net zero future.”

The programme also strengthens BIS’s efforts under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. It helped identify gaps in standards, explore new areas, and connect with experts. Insights from global best practices will enhance India’s certification, testing, and standardisation, supporting a sustainable and competitive green hydrogen economy.

The workshop was inaugurated by Rajiv Sharma, Deputy Director General (Standardization-I), BIS, Laura Aylett, Head of Climate and Energy, British High Commission and Abbey Dorian, Energy Sector Lead, BSI.

The event witnessed participation from policymakers, technical experts, and industry leaders from India and the United Kingdom, underscoring the shared vision of India and UK to foster innovation and sustainability in the green hydrogen sector.
