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)

• 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

Climate Change & Sustainable Energy

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

Ecodesign & Energy Performance

• f Buildings

• 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

Circular Economy & Resource Efficiency

• 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

Environmental Health

Communications & Awareness Raising

• Review of Strategic Plan 2014-2019
• Membership development
• Expert network development

Capacity building & Organisational development
