Examples of outcomes

1

EN 12977 Round Robin
Acronym: SCF6-12977-RR

18

Round robin testing and certification of new systems and components (EN 12977-systems, storage and controller)

2

EN ISO 9806 Reliability Round Robin
Acronym: SCF6-Coll-Reliability-RR

11

Round robin test of collectors related to reliability testing based on ISO 9806:2013

3

EN ISO 9806 Air collector Round Robin
Acronym: SCF6-Air-Coll-RR

11

Round robin test of collectors related to thermal performance testing of solar air collectors based on ISO 9806:2013

4

EN ISO 9806 High temperature collector Round Robin
Acronym: SCF6-HighT-Coll-RR

11

Round robin test of medium temperature (max 250 – 300 °C) collectors related to thermal performance based on ISO 9806:2013

 

EN 12976 / MLabSist Round Robin

Acronym: SCF6-12976 RR

9

Round robin test regarding energy yield prediction of factory made systems based on reference test data (according to ISO 9459-2 and ISO 9459-5) by using a common software tool (MLabSist) to assist in calculation and automatically generation of data sheets. The results of the Round Robin should contribute to the development of the software tool. The financing will allow a further development of software tools, evaluation of results of the Round Robin and will include financing of Laboratories participating in the RR

5

Scheme rules for EN ISO 22975-3
Acronym: SCF6-22975-3-SK-SR

8

Prepare SK scheme rules for absorber surfaces (related to EN ISO 22975-3)

6

CE-marking of collectors. Acronym: SCF6-CE

13

CE-marking of collectors (EN 12975-1) related to CPR (and other relevant EC regulation like PED, …?)

7

Mapping requirements for collectors.
Acronym:SCF6-CollReqMapping

8

Mapping of requirements for collectors throughout the world. Based on this - and previous work described in SKN_N0233 - make relevant classes for load, and other climate impact - take into account safety factors. Develop a guideline for manufacturers to evaluate in an easy way for which class to go.

8

Support for revising ISO 9488.

Acronym: SCF6-9488

5

Support for revising ISO 9488 (Solar Energy - Vocabulary) , e. g for co-financing of ISO WG convenor

9

Global Certification

Acronym: SCF6-GLOBCERT

14

Further implementation of Global Solar Certification

Promotion of Global Solar Certification and ISO 9806:2013

10

LCA Methods.

Acronym: SCF6-LCA

9

Elaboration of standardised methods for life cycle assessment of solar thermal products focusing on environmental and/or financial aspects

11

Application template certification guideline

Acronym: SCF6-HarmonizedCertification

3

Elaboration of harmonised application template and guideline for certification

12

Solar Keymark à Eco Design/Eco Labelling
Acronym: SCF6-SK-ECO

5

Establishment of a link between Solar Keymark certification and Eco Design and Energy Labelling; e.g. preparation of values from Solar Keymark certification in such a way that they can be easily used for Eco Design and Energy Labelling

13

Support to Liaison CEN/TC312 officers
Acronym: SCF6-LiasTCxxx

25 (5 per officer)

Liaison officers reporting to TC 312 and SKN (IEC/TC117, CEN/TC228,164,228,371, …)

14

Other good ideas

Acronym: SCF6-Other

-

Other proposals related to the support of certification and standardisation as well as promotion and assurance of quality solar thermal technology can be handed in.

Budget will be allocated depending on the quality of the other proposals and the quality of the good ideas
