Key horizontal & political achievements • Worked with standardization system stakeholders to improve inclusiveness of the ESS, and at international level • Stated priority of European Commission is inclusiveness, including at international level • Raised awareness potential to undermine regulation with the use of standards in trade agreements • Increased visibility (communication materials & events) • Effective participation in the Joint Initiative on Standardisation • Engaged in better regulation REFIT
ECOS standardisation activities in numbers (2015)
Climate Change & Sustainable Energy CEN Guide on Adaptation to Climate Change & CEN-CLC ACC CG Contributed to establish solid framework for sustainable bio- energy supply chain Analysed barriers to deployment of natural refrigerants in CEN & ISO & commented on Standardisation Request Highlighted inadequacies of smart home architecture in context of smart meters roll-out Introduced on-board metering concept in context of technical & standardised deployment of electric vehicles
Ecodesign & Energy Performance of Buildings Ecodesign Horizontal Standardisation Issues • Closed loophole on tolerances (except for lighting) • Improved Ecodesign Material Efficiency mandate Improved Standards on: • Energy Performance of Buildings; • Lamps & Luminaires; Space & Water Heaters; • Refrigerating Equipment; Motor-driven systems
Circular Economy & Resource Efficiency Contributed to the business plan of new TC 444 on horizontal, multi-matrix standards for environmental testing (env characterisation) Improving standards enabling ambitious conditions for re-use, safe treatment & recycling of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Internal analysis on standards for a Circular Economy to feed into CEN/CLC approach on the circular economy
Environmental Health Better communicate & bridge gap between science and policy on nanotechnologies with a public declaration, engagement with CEN, ISO & OECD Contributed to finalise robust automated measurement methods to properly measure air pollution Co-drafting of CEN Guide on chemicals
Communications & Awareness Raising
Capacity building & Organisational development Review of Strategic Plan 2014-2019 Membership development Expert network development
