The CEN Workshop on ‘Testing and evaluating the performance of devices for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to CO’ was kicked off on 20 July 2023. The Workshop’s registered participants have agreed on the final draft of the CWA.
Many of the experts in Working Group 1 of TC 228 have been working on diving standards since the turn of the millennium. At first, work was carried out at the European level, in WG3 of CEN TC 329 ‘Tourism Services’. Immediately after ISO TC 228 ‘Tourism and related services’ was founded in 2007, work continued at the ISO level, and ‘Diving Services’ became the first Working Group (WG1) of ISO TC 228. Practically, all the standards produced by TC 228 WG1 have also become European standards (EN ISO), in accordance with the procedures laid out in the Vienna Agreement.
The planned CEN Workshop Agreement will define guidelines for decision-making on designing a Digital Product Passport (DPP), including its data carrier, information portal contents, and information exchanges and applications, based on the experience of the H2020 project CircThread.
The goal of this CEN/WS is the development of a CWA which provides a set of design and installation recommendations for the arrangement and installation of propulsion systems, using hydrogen as fuel, on passenger ships.
The CWA describes a set of common procedures, methodologies and protocols to be applied when determining specific performance characteristics of gas separation membranes for various applications.
On 28 June 2023, the EU Commission announced a proposal for a EU Regulation on a Framework for Financial Data Access (FIDA).
The planned CEN Workshop Agreement defines procedures for the management of technical/financial/legal support to energy transition projects implemented through a cascade funding approach.
CEN Workshop on 'Raman devices calibration, verification and twinning protocols' was kicked off on 28 February 2024.
The objective of this Workshop is the development of one CEN Workshop Agreement intends to raise awareness and alignment about the key role of SAF in the transition to carbon neutrality in the aviation sector, as well as to explain the environmental benefits.
The CEN Workshop on "Determination of 3-hydroxyvalerate content in PHBV by nuclear magnetic resonance" stems from the ongoing Horizon 2020 upPE-T project, which aims at upcycling recalcitrant oil-based plastics by bioconversion into biodegradable bioplastic for food and drink packaging production. upPE-T includes sustainable strategies as an alternative for plastic chemical degradation, improving PE and PET depolymerization through enzymatic engineering to positively impact food and drink packaging recycling rate and achieving the European Union expected impact.
