New CEN-CENELEC Standardization Workshop USER-CHI

USER-CHI has promoted the creation of a CEN and CENELEC Workshop on “Innovative solution for user centric charging infrastructure for electric vehicles”.

This kind of workshop is a working group that will work during some months in the development of two new standards (CWA) that will be published by the European Standards Organizations CEN and CENELEC.

The first CWA (CEN-CENELEC Workshop Agreement) deals with “Guidelines for operators to implement advanced smart charging and management strategies“ and the works are led by partner ETRA I+D. The second one is about “Charging stations of the future – Stations models considering users’ expectations“ and will be led by partner IBV. Partner UNE, as a Member of CEN and CENELEC, will manage the Workshop.

All interested persons and organizations willing to take part in the drafting and approval of these new standards can appoint to the workshop, or make comments to the proposed documents until 2023-07-03. All information is available in CEN-CENELEC Workshop on Innovative solutions for user centric charging infrastructure for electric vehicles – CEN-CENELEC (cencenelec.eu)

Standardization is highlighted as a tool for technology transfer in the European Policy on Knowledge Valorisation. Therefore, the development and publication of these two new standards, originally based in USER-CHI outcomes, will provide visibility to the project, generate confidence about these results in the relevant market stakeholders and make this information available to the related industry, users and public authorities.
