The survey aims to identify the demand from industry and other stakeholders for standards as potential results of research and innovation (R & I) projects, to assess how EU R & I framework programmes could tackle them, and generally to raise awareness of the importance of standardisation as a knowledge valorisation channel. A Europe-wide survey revealed that policy initiatives, including regulations and customers’ requirements, particularly for industry, as well as organisations’ own and collaborative research, are the most relevant sources for standard development. Research input is most important for measurement and testing standards, followed by quality and environmental standards. The most significant advantage of research as input for standardisation is free access to scientific content and the ability to keep track of scientific progress. Recommendations are derived for industry, higher education institutes and public research organisations, standard development organisations, research funding organisations and other innovation policy areas.
Moisture control design has to respond to all relevant hygrothermal loads

Künzel, Hartwig

Dewsbury, Mark

Moisture related damage is still a formidable cost factor in the building sector. Besides installation deficiencies, moisture control design failures are the most frequent reasons for moisture problems. Therefore, adequate moisture control analysis has become the key for sustainable buildings. However, by focusing on vapour diffusion only other important moisture loads such as driving rain, construction moisture or air infiltration are mostly neglected. Therefore, international moisture control standards often refer to simulation models for more realistic analysis, leaving many practitioners wondering how to handle these tools. To overcome this dilemma, the updated German moisture control standard has introduced a three-pathway approach for design evaluation: 1st deemed to satisfy list, 2nd restricted Glaser calculation and 3rd fully fledged hygrothermal simulation. The third pathway includes the option to account for small leaks or imperfections in building envelope components. Guidelines in other countries are also embracing similar moisture control approaches which gives hope for more durable and sustainable building design. To reach this aim, moisture control should also become an integral part of the design process instead of a secondary chore.
Development of 5G - Identifying organizations active in publishing, patenting, and standardization

( 2022)
Buggenhagen, Magnus

Blind, Knut

Publications, patents, standard-essential patents (SEPs), and standard contributions are important indicators for the drivers in the technology development of 5G. However, current 5G technology reports predominately draw on patent data to identify technology developing organizations, ignoring the importance of publications and standard contributions. Therefore, we identify 5G technology developing organizations in publishing, patenting, and standardization and compile a unique dataset to identify leading organizations per category and to identify possible correlations and interdependencies. We find that for companies offering fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) licensing conditions related to standard-essential patents, their publication, patent, and standard contribution counts highly correlate. Our findings suggest that 5G technology developing companies holding a high number of patents declared to 5G manage the three contributing factors of publishing, patenting, and standardization to optimize their impact on 5G technology development. Furthermore, we show that patenting and standardization are dominated by a few large companies from the United States, China, Korea, Japan, Finland, and Sweden, while publishing is much more globally distributed and not as concentrated. Our research suggests that scientific findings can be more easily published via scientific journals and that barriers might hinder filing patents and participating in standardization committees focusing on 5G, which only large companies overcome.
Standards and innovation. What does the research say?

(ISO, 2022)
Blind, Knut

Using a combination of academic research and case studies, this paper explores the complex relationship between standards and innovation. It summarizes the current state of research in this area and assesses the theoretical and practical implications of this interdependent relationship. The paper provides empirical evidence of where standards can promote innovation and highlights the need for additional empirical research to better understand the relationship between those two concepts.

According to the Ecodesign Working plan 2016-19, "Given their specificity, a separate track is proposed for ICT products ..., that will also fully take into account their circular economy potential, which is particularly relevant in the case of mobile / smart phones". Within this context, DG GROW launched this preparatory study on mobile phones, smartphones and tablets in order to assess the feasibility of proposing Ecodesign and/or Energy Labelling requirements for these product groups. Preparatory studies aim to assess and specify generic or specific ecodesign measures for improving the environmental performance of a defined product group, sometimes in combination with energy label criteria. The ecodesign preparatory studies therefore provide the scientific foundation for defining these generic and/or specific ecodesign requirements as well as energy labelling criteria. The overall objective is to clearly define the product scope, analyse the current environmental impacts of these products and related systems (extended product scope) and assess the existing improvement potential of any measures. In particular, aspects relevant to the circular economy, are in the scope. The central element of the MEErP (Kemna 2011; Mudgal et al. 2013), being the underlying assessment methodology, is to prioritise today’s possible improvement options from a Least Life Cycle Cost (LLCC) perspective. Identification of the improvement options are based on possible design innovations, Best Available Technologies (BAT) for the short term and Best Not yet Available Technologies (BNAT) for long term, which can help in mitigating the impacts of these products. Policy options are assessed through a scenario analysis and the different outcomes have to be evaluated from the perspective of the EU targets, taking into account potential impacts on the competitiveness of enterprises in the EU and on the consumers.
Characterization of a reference test setup for the development of HPEM standards

Given that intentional interference with electronic devices is not bound by legal parameter limitations, formulating standard procedures to adequately probe device immunity poses a challenge. In order to foster such developments, we further characterize a compact reference test setup conceived earlier by new parameter studies. To acquire immunity profiles in a TEM waveguide, we used narrowband pulses similar to radar. Since the error threshold field values can depend on the angle of incidence of the incoming waves, we did an extended study over different orientations of our setup, only resulting in moderate variations. Together with measurements in the previously unexplored range between 4 and 8 GHz evidencing many error occurrences, we could show the versatility of our battery-operated reference test setup based on a single board computer of the Raspberry Pi line.

Schemes for probing immunity of electronic devices against high power electromagnetics have been developed and refined over the years. Several test environments are available, some not yet fully acknowledged in standard documents or laboratory practice. In order to further their development and to facilitate exchange across laboratories and methods, a new reference test setup representing a modern, generic IT system has been designed. A comparison between failure modes and failure levels under two different testing schemes is presented. Testing has been performed using direct radiation in a TEM waveguide and also in a reverberation chamber. Overall, the two methods of testing show very similar results with respect to failure levels.
International diffusion of the information security management system standard ISO/IEC 27001: Exploring the role of culture

In the wake of digitalization, organizations are increasingly exposed to risks associated with security breaches and must take measures to preserve the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information, and to ensure business continuity. The international standard ISO/IEC 27001 assists organizations in setting up, maintaining and continuously improving their information security management systems. However, despite high growth rates, its international diffusion rates are quite heterogeneous. This paper explores why the diffusion of the international management system standard ISO/IEC 27001 differs across countries. We classify the adoption of ISO/IEC 27001 as a 'preventive organizational innovation' and draw from diffusion studies of other management system standards and information security research to develop a set of hypotheses. These relate to the impact of cultural dimensions and national ICT development. We use a negative binomial regression model with panel data covering 57 countries over a 12-year period from 2006 to 2017 to test our hypotheses. We find that the cultural dimensions future orientation, power distance, and institutional collectivism as well as high ICT development are driving factors for the diffusion of ISO/IEC 27001. We derive policy recommendations and avenues for future research.

As an extension to EMC testing procedures covering regulated exposure conditions, schemes for probing immunity of electronic devices against high power electromagnetics (HPEM) have been developed and refined over the years. Several test environments are available, some not yet fully acknowledged in standard documents or laboratory practice. In order to further their development and to facilitate exchange across laboratories and methods, a new reference test setup representing a modern, generic IT system has been designed. Fixed on a styrofoam board, a small single board computer is complemented with digital and analogue periphery. The affordable hardware, compact footprint and battery operation invite for implementation in a variety of use cases. A custom monitoring software visualizes well-defined error conditions under exposure as signaled via optical link. The setup will be detailed together with test results garnered with monofrequent pulsed RF signals between 1 and 2 GHz, showing good reproducibility of a diverse range of error types.
