"The inaugural CSA America Awards for Outstanding Achievement are presented in recognition of the immeasurable contributions made toward the development and promotion of standards," says Mr. Grieco, "The recipients in each category are owed an enormous debt of gratitude for their selfless efforts. Without their extensive knowledge, hard work, and devotion to standards development, many of the standards that impact our daily lives, contribute to the betterment of society, and advance our community well being would not exist." 

HPRD1 Technical Advisory Group received the CSA America Divisional Medal award for leadership and commitment to the development of standards for hydrogen components, resulting in one of the first        hydrogen component standards. 

Participants worked nationally and internationally to develop new standards for pressure relief devices;a primary safety component for compressed hydrogen vehicle fueling systems that have unique fire safety and durability requirements.
