Scientific and Regulatory Framework

The American Hydrogen Health Association (AHHA) is committed to aligning the hydrogen health industry with globally recognized standards of science, ethics, and quality. To achieve this, AHHA draws guidance from respected scientific institutions and regulatory organizations across the world.

Global Regulatory and Scientific Authorities

AHHA looks to the following organizations to inform its principles and ensure alignment with international expectations:

ISHMB (International Society for Hydrogen Medicine and Biology) – An international society of researchers and clinicians focused on hydrogen’s medical applications.

IHSA (International Hydrogen Standards Association) – Develops global standards for hydrogen testing and measurement.

Molecular Hydrogen Institute (MHI) – A globally recognized nonprofit leading in hydrogen science, education, and certification.

EUH2 (European Hydrogen Association) – Promotes hydrogen-related policy and science across the European Union.

NIH (National Institutes of Health) – Leading biomedical research authority in the United States.

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) – Sets international standards across industries, including hydrogen technologies.

AHHA – Industry Application & Oversight

While these institutions provide the scientific and regulatory foundation, AHHA translates this into action within the hydrogen health industry:

  • Standards Development: Shaped by leading scientific input from leading researchers world-wide, applied to real-world business practices.
  • Ethical Oversight: AHHA helps businesses self-regulate and maintain integrity.
  • Certification Alignment: Education programs from MHI are embedded into AHHA’s model for business excellence and public trust.

The American Hydrogen Health Association (AHHA) operates with a strong foundation rooted in global science and regulatory alignment. By drawing from internationally respected authorities—including MHI, NIH, ISO, IHSA, ISHMB, and others—AHHA ensures its standards reflect both cutting-edge research and ethical best practices. This structure allows AHHA to bridge the gap between academic science and real-world application, supporting an industry that is credible, transparent, and built to last.
