Five Premier League and Championship clubs have taken part in a government-commissioned pilot study since January.Rails in seated areas of grounds have allowed fans to stand while their safety has been independently assessed.
Sports Minister Nigel Huddleston called the findings "very encouraging for fans, clubs and safety groups".
Huddleston said he will "reserve final judgement on a wider rollout until the process is completed".
