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.
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.
Today, there exists an extensive number of detection systems, developed all over the world. Each system can be specific for the detection of one or several agents and may be part of a larger system that integrates the information from all individual systems, processes the data and manages the visualization, notification and operation. However, there are sometimes interoperability constraints, and some of the would-be technically optimal subsystems are incompatible with the overall system.
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.
The forthcoming CEN workshop will focus on the revision of CWA 17815:2021, titled “Materials characterisation - Terminology, metadata and classification,” based on insights from the European project NanoMECommons.
Efficient management and the use of limited resources is one of our society’s goals. Achieving a safe, reliable, economical and environmentally friendly supply of resources implies the efficient use of available resources to increase the competitiveness and efficiency of the industry.
EUBsuperhub is a European project funded by the European Union's H2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101033916. The project supports the evolvement of the certification process in Europe by the development of a scalable methodology to view, assess and monitor the buildings through their lifecycle, in a virtual marketplace.
Laminated glass is obtained by bonding glass layers using a polymeric interlayer. One polymer used as interlayer is polyvinyl butyral (PVB). Up to now, most of the post-consumer PVB material in laminated glass is incinerated or landfilled, and only 9 % are recycled in secondary uses. Recycling of PVB presents several difficulties related with the contents of glass, humidity, mixing of compositions and polymer optical degradation.
The planned CEN and CENELEC Workshop intends to develop a CEN and CENELEC Workshop Agreement (CWA) describing a 'Methodology for the data-driven management of production processes', which allows to document the process lifecycle and gain knowledge through its application.
