Recap of workshop aims

Regulation EU 1025/2012

COM(2016)358:

Standards for 21st

Century

Energy Union R&I&C

EURICS JIS

Integrated SET-Plan - Action 7 Declaration of Intent

• agreed between stakeholders, Member States, EC

• contains targets (performance, cost, manufacturing)

• proposes R&I fields and actors

https://setis.ec.europa.eu/

• Mobilise this audience + other shareholders for Phase 2 of Action 7

(limited time period!)

• Feed workshop conclusions/recommendations into forthcoming

EURICs priority on Energy Storage

Frame for moving forward

PNR

" R&I related to Key Action 7 of the SET Plan will aim

at developing and demonstrating technologies,

manufacturing processes, science-based standards

and regulations, to increase performance and safety

and reduce overall cost of battery systems used for

storage purposes in the automotive and other

sectors."

Frame for moving forward

PNR

" In addition to the performance, cost and

manufacturing targets, … requirements include

enhanced safety through risk mitigation as well

as increased efficiency, reduction in the use of

critical materials, reduced environmental

impact and implementation of Eco-design

(energy savings and solvent reduction) for

advanced battery materials/components

manufacturing processes. Furthermore,

interoperability, system integration at pack

level, standardization, regulations, workforce

and education are important."

Frame for moving forward

standardisation

(1) Considerations

• ESOs CEN-CENELEC

• EC: Annual Union Work Programme for Standardisation, "mandates" to

support EU legislation

• JRC: Liaison-A with ISO, IEC

(2) Actors

What I have also heard

• need common terminology: safety, durability, …

• need for higher awareness of (lack of) definitions in legal documents

(e.g. automotive batteries, recycling, second use, …)

• how to exploit results of past R&D? establishment of dedicated

database?

• confidentiality of research results hampering?

• harmonised approaches for LCA, scope of LCA

• harmonised reporting templates (e.g. following NEAPs)

• interoperability standards

• standards for communication protocols

• YES, costs and cost evolution are important

What I have not heard: standards and PNR for

• resource efficiency aspects in manufacturing

• quantifying the link between critical materials and recycling

• metrology apects

• safety lessons learned: battery accident data base?

• tailoring test methods for modelling + modelling of test methods

• …

• Presentations will be posted on a dedicated website – presenters confirm!

• Workshop summary will be published (JRC, CEN-CENELEC) and made

available on website

Follow-up

Need to

• exchange on technology, policy and standardization for a better

understanding of the EU energy storage (long term), allowing the

elaboration of relevant business models

• liaise with already ongoing standardisation activities, consider global

standardization developments

• identify EU required specific standardization developments

• gather all relevant actors and major stakeholders (Reg. EU 1025/2012)

platform for further evaluation / identification of

strategic topics and priority needs ?

Follow-up process

CCMC checks informally with candidate existing groups and seeks to identify one that can host a working group to address these recommendations

A suitable existing Technical Body is

identified

• Members (through the BTs) are informed on the workshop’s outcomes

• Members are invited to support the creation of a new working group under an existing group

• Members are invited to appoint experts to this new working group

• Members (through the BTs) are informed on the workshop’s outcomes

• Members are invited to volunteer for taking the secretariat of the new group

• Members are invited to create the new group • Members are invited to appoint experts to this

new group

Yes No

CEN and CENELEC/BTs approve report

Technical Recommendations from this Workshop

New (working) group starts work towards producing a report that outlines the next steps, such as proposals for

new standardization work items and the relevant TC

Joint Initiative on Standardisation

• Established between public and private partners in the European standardisation system

• Part of the Standardisation package adopted on 1 June 2016 to face the challenges of:

• achieving an efficient, open, transparent, inclusive and agile European Standardisation System (ESS)

• producing state-of-the-art standards in support of market needs and public policies

• providing a predictable and stable investment framework to economic operators

• Timely and high quality standards built in an inclusive way between standard makers and users.

• 15 Actions

• Goal: to establish a sustainable system that encourages the natural collaboration between researcher, innovators and standardizers and allows for the smooth uptake of research and innovation outputs into standardization.

1. Develop Foresight Mechanisms

2. Deepen Research – Standardization Integration

3. Develop the European Innovation Eco-system

• Leader: DG JRC

• Sponsors: CEN-CENELEC, AENOR, AFNOR, BSI, DG CONNECT, DG GROW, DG RTD, DIN, ETSI, NEN, VDMA, ZVEI

• Duration: 2017-2019

Action 2 Linking Research and Innovation with

Standardization

Develop Foresight Mechanisms

• Identify challenges to integrate research and standardization

• Foresight platform(s)

• Putting Science into Standards initiative (hydrogen technology (2014), healthcare services (2015), battery technologies for e-vehicles (2016))

• JRC Foresight studies (‘Tomorrow's healthy society – research priorities for food and diets’, ‘How will standards facilitate new production systems in the context of EU innovation and competitiveness in 2025?')

• CEN – CENELEC ‘Industry engagement’ initiative (topics addressed in 2016: Digital transformation of industry, circular economy, services standardization…)

• Establish links between standardization (technical bodies) and the outcomes from foresight studies with innovation drivers (e.g. European Technology Platforms, European Innovation Partnerships, European Institute for Innovation and Technology)

Deepen Research - Standardization Integration

• Promote in Horizon 2020 the take up of standardization

• Identification of research programme needs where pre-normative research can support standardization

• Increase the number and quality of references to standardization in Horizon 2020 calls for project proposals

• Foster and exploit the role of standardisation in H2020 Projects

• Promoting market uptake of project outputs facilitated through standardization

• Map ongoing Horizon 2020-related standardization activities to track progress, and ensure coherence.

• Establish a mechanism to systematically inform the ESOs and their members of standardisation outputs from Horizon 2020 research projects

• Include in the H2020 IPR helpdesk a topic on standardisation

Develop the European Innovation Eco-system

• Build strong networks of innovation actors and raise the awareness of how standardization can support research activities

• Promote awareness and take up of standardization deliverables

• Foster strategic partnerships amongst actors in the innovation eco-system in Europe (IPR, copyright, patents and metrology, etc.)

• Facilitate community building to enable researchers, innovators and standardizers to meet and define common needs

• Make proposals for researchers’ "contribution to standards development" to be recognised at the same level as traditional scientific publications

• A new ‘Business Innovation Package’ to integrate innovation, research and standardization

• Allocate esources to standardisation in Private Public Partnerships and ensure appropriate links with the ESOs
