These would encompass: design specification testing and construction. This will not be a Norm, Din or BS etc. but could be a useful step towards a pan-European standard eventually.

Review National Standards - pertaining to loads materials testing and safety criteria etc., where they exist and where they are absent. Review of current design strategies / methods for providing appropriate internal climates to membrane enclosures. Review of interfaces between membrane structures and surrounding structures, particularly where membranes form fully enclosed buildings (interfaces between architects and engineers). Establishing what new work / research and development is required to fill in knowledge gaps of designers, finding research funds and industrial sponsors.
