Report on the standardisation landscape and applicable standards

Report on outcome of task 5.4SubTask T5.4.1: Analysis of the applicable standardisation landscape (M1-M6): Identification of activities and needs in other WP, to address relevant standardisation landscape, together with applicable standards.SubTask T5.4.2: Contribution to the ongoing and future standardisation developments (M7-M48): The possibility and the extent to which a contribution to standardisation can be made will be investigated through interacting with relevant technical standardisation committees, disseminating the project and getting feedback from their members. The main outcome is the BIO-SUSHY contribution to the development of new standards in PFAS-free materials, bio-based formulation for repellent coating, but also SbD strategic framework and data exchange infrastructures. Depending also on the ongoing works of the standardisation committees around the midpoint of the project, this may involve providing information, participating in ongoing works, submitting proposals for the modification of existing standards or promoting the elaboration of new standards. The development of fast-track standards like CEN Workshop Agreements (CWA) is usually the best-suited option in the frame of a Horizon Europe project.Subtask T5.4.3: Roadmap to achieve full standardisation (M36-M48): Standardisation is made in technical committees external to the consortium through the consensus of various stakeholders on European and/or international level. Full standardisation of PFAS-free materials and coatings will be reached through detailed knowledge of the necessary steps and through long-term participation in committee work going beyond the time frame of an R&I-project.
