On December 11, 2025, Hans Teijgeler was honored with a Royal Decoration Ridder in de orde van Oranje-Nassau during a ceremony at the Council Chamber of Bergen (NH), The Netherlands. This recognition celebrates his outstanding contributions to standardization of engineering information and data within the process industry supply chain, a field in which he has been a driving force for more than three decades. 

Through his work at the Engineering Contractor Fluor which is a member of the association USPI, and his participation in projects under ISO TC 184/SC 4 (Industrial data), Hans played a pivotal role in developing ISO 15926, an internationally recognized standard series that enables Integration and exchange of information and data across the process industry supply chain—independent of specific software systems. His efforts have significantly improved the quality and consistency of engineering information in the process industries, and addresses growing demands for safety, environmental compliance, efficiency, and speed to market.
