Policy Context
The Innovation Union, 2010: “Standards play an important role for innovation”
The Standardization Regulation, 1025/2012: “Standards can help to bridge the gap between research and marketable products or services”
Horizon 2020 “Contribute to European competitiveness through support to the standardisation process and standards”
Single Market Communication 550/2015 “Standards are crucial for innovation and progress in the Single Market: they increase safety, interoperability and competition and help remove trade barriers.”

Horizon 2020 and standardization
In COM/2011/0808 final “Horizon 2020 - The Framework Programmefor Research and Innovation”:
“Stronger support will be given to the market take-up of innovation, includingby the public sector. This will include more proof-of-concept, piloting anddemonstration. It will involve a better use of the potential of researchinfrastructures, as well as setting technical standards, pre-commercialprocurement and strengthened loan and equity financing.”

Standards in Horizon 2020 calls
Screening of the calls for proposals (2016/2017) identified standardization in 37% of LEIT and in 24% SC calls as follows:
Mapping of relevant standards
Standardization gap analysis
Development of new standards
Proposal for a standardization plan (may include international cooperation)
Consider standardization aspects when relevant
Even if not specifically mentioned in the call standards can
be identified by project proposers.
Standardization bodies can be included in the consortium.
This should be addressed at proposal stage.

Innovation – what role for standards?

From research to standardization
© CEN-CENELEC 2016 - 12
How researchers can contribute to standardization
Directly in a Technical Committee
Propose a ‘standard’
Develop a standardization plan
© CEN-CENELEC 2016 - 13
Option 1 – directly in a TC
Identify relevant TCs for research (proposal)
Get in touch with the TC Secretariats and CEN or CLC Member
Discuss (if time allows) contribution with the TC to asses feasibility for new standards
Plan the standardization work to feed into the TC
Budget a ‘Project Liaison’ and expert contribution in your proposal
Contact the Research Helpdesk for support

Influencing Standardization in TC
Project funded under FP7 PantoTRAIN: Pantograph and Catenary Interaction
Research: proposal to extend EN 50367 pantograph
homologation procedure to different catenary systems by numerical simulation has been made
proposal to extend TSI HS ENE procedure by the use of simulation for pantograph characteristics has been made
© CEN-CENELEC 2016 - 15
Option 2 – propose a ‘standard’
Identify relevant TCs for research proposal
If no TC consider to propose new standards
Define the standardization gaps
Partner with a Member in the research consortium
Plan the standardization work:
To feed into the TC
To develop a CWA
Budget a ‘Project Liaison’ in the proposal
Budget a ‘Standardization Work Package’
Contact the Research Helpdesk for support

Driving Standardization
Project funded under FP7 SustainValue: Sustainable Value Creation in Manufacturing Networks
Research on new industrial models for a sustainable and efficient production.
Standardization: The project developed a Workshop Agreement covering good-practices for developing business models, governance models, sustainable solutions and performance management for existing and new sustainable production and service networks.
The CWA was published in summer 2014.

Option 3 – develop a plan
Define gaps or revision of standards needed
Partner with a Member in the research consortium
Identify relevant TCs for the proposal (who will be the receivers of the output)
Budget a ‘Project Liaison’ in the proposal
Budget a ‘Standardization Work Package’
Contact the Research Helpdesk for support

Supporting Standardization
Project funded under FP7 STACAST - New Quality and Design Standards for Aluminium Alloys Cast Products
Research on the strategic role of Aluminium Alloys for the future of European Foundry Industry
Standardization: The project developed a Technical Report in CEN/TC 132 TR “Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Classification of Defects and Imperfections in High Pressure, Low Pressure and Gravity Die Cast Products”

Contribution of a CEN or CLC Member
The support a CEN or CENELEC member gives to the standardization process as part of a research project can be broken down into:
Step 1 – Analysis of standardization potential (state of the art, overview etc)
Step 2 – Identification of gaps and proposal for new standardization work (input to existing work, new standards, roadmaps etc)
Step 3 – Links with ongoing standardization (Project Liaison Organization if applicable)
Step 4 – Guidance on the general standardization process
Step 5 – Publication of the final deliverable (note: CEN-CENELEC keep copyright!)

CEN and CENELEC participation policy
“CEN and CENELEC as organizations will not join a research project as a partner. A CEN or CENELEC national member, representing CEN or CENELEC, can join a research project”
CCMC-staff not eligible for FP-funding
Only a national member (NSB/NC) can take the secretariat of a technical group developing our deliverables
Contact with the National Standardization Bodies is
facilitated through the Research Helpdesk and a network of “Correspondents” on Research & Innovation issues at national level (RDI-COR)
