Standardisation activities in AID4GREENEST
The AID4GREENEST consortium will create a CEN Workshop for the elaboration of a CWA (European standard) to standardise project results, in particular the methodology for Accelerated Creep Testing.
A CWA is considered an effective way to disseminate and communicate project results, as well as to facilitate their future implementation by the steel industry, steel consumers, characterisation communities, etc.
From a wider point of view, the CWA will increase the efficiency of steel manufacturing processes, and support the development of advanced materials, including high-strength steels, that are increasingly used in the EU’s key strategic sectors such as renewables, space and defence, e-mobility, and energy.
At the same time, a contribution will also be made to the EU’s green objectives to reduce carbon emissions and waste generation.
The CEN Workshop, managed by UNE, will be a technical body under the umbrella of the European Standardisation Committee (CEN), and will count on the participation of several AID4GREENEST partners and other interested organisations.
It is expected that the CWA will serve as the foundation for further standardisation deliverables, including an EN European standard.
