The CEN and CENELEC Joint Technical Committee 14 ‘Energy management and energy efficiency in the framework of energy transition’ announces the publication of the new standard EN 17669:2022 ‘Energy Performance Contracts-Minimum requirements’ developed by their Working Group 4 ‘Energy financial aspects’.
The objectives of the planned workshop are to define basic principles of zero-defect manufacturing (ZDM), based on the terminology, which was recently created in a CEN-CENELEC Workshop and is available as CWA 17918:2022.
The transport of liquid chemicals and liquefied gases is a strategic activity, which impacts many sectors in our society: energy for industrial ovens and furnaces, insecticides, textile, paints, fertilizers, plastic components, medical applications, and so on.
The new 'Mediation Grammar' (CWA 18014:2023) has been published: it is a useful tool for integration, for a fairer and more welcoming society.
CEN/TC 428 "ICT Professionalism and Digital Competences" has released a White Paper on how standards on ICT professionalism can support European AI policies to embed ICT professional competence within the development of AI systems.
This CEN Workshop intends to develop one CWA (Workshop Agreement): ”Unmanned aircraft systems — Counter UAS — Testing methodology”
In the nuclear industry, specific design and construction codes provide a set of essential engineering tools for the design, construction, and integration of nuclear high safety class components and systems.
Standards are everywhere in our lives, and they help us live better. To help say this, UNI, the Italian National Standardization Body, has received an exceptional celebrity endorsement: Giovanni Storti (from the famous Italian comedy group Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo), is the leading actor in UNI’s new awareness campaign on the role of standards in everyday life.
The application of (photo)electrocatalytical technologies for the reduction of CO2 to CO holds immense relevance for our current and future society with regard to sustainable methods to mitigate CO2 levels in the atmosphere and to reduce the dependence on fossil feedstocks. Electrocatalysis offers a promising solution by using renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind, to drive the electrochemical conversion of CO2 into CO. This process not only helps in the utilization of CO2 as a valuable feedstock but also offers a viable pathway towards carbon neutrality.
The planned Workshop will define Action Research and its role in large scale pilots. It will identify the key stakeholders involved and outline the necessary steps to conduct Action Research including planning, pre-validation, deployment, data collection and analysis.
