Hydrogen industry survey
 
Purpose of the survey: ISO/TC 197 has documented its vision of the market environment, and how that market is evolving, in its business plan which is available on the ISO website (www.iso.org). Responses to this survey will be used to update the business plan as needed.

Privacy statement: This survey is carried out by ISO/TC 197 Hydrogen technologies to better assess the needs of the hydrogen industry worldwide. ISO values the privacy of the respondents and takes measures to safeguard the respondent information from unauthorized use. Responses to this survey are kept confidential and are not provided to any third party. Only aggregated data will be disclosed.

 
1. Identification

2. Awareness of ISO/TC 197 activities on hydrogen technologies
2.1 Please indicate whether prior to receiving this survey you had reviewed the ISO/TC 197 business plan (pdf format) .
a) Yes
b) No
 
2.2 Please indicate whether you believe the business plan correctly reflects the market environment.
a) Yes
b) No*
*Comments:
 
2.3 Please indicate whether you would be interested in participating in the work of ISO/TC 197 if you are not already doing so.
 

NOTE - Participation in the work of an ISO committee is organized through ISO's national members and you would therefore need to contact the member in your country. Alternatively, if your company or organization belongs to an international body, for example a trade association, participation via ISO's liaison arrangements may be possible.

a) Yes
b) No
 
3. Importance of international standardization activities on hydrogen technologies
3.1 Please indicate how important it is for the hydrogen industry to have ISO International Standards that are recognized from one country to the next.
a) Not important
b) Relatively important
c) Very important
d) Critical for the success of the hydrogen industry
 
3.2 Please indicate how important it is for the hydrogen industry that each country develops its own set of national standards rather than adopting international standards.
a) Not important
b) Relatively important
c) Very important
d) Critical for the success of the hydrogen industry
 
4. Third party certification
4.1 Please indicate if there are enough third party certification programs available to certify products in your country?
a) Yes
b) No
 
4.2 Please indicate if the certificates issued by the third party certification agencies are recognized from one country to the next?
a) Yes
b) No
 
4.3 If an internationally recognized certification program was available, would you use it?
a) Yes
b) No, we prefer to have a nationally accepted certification programs.
