The goal of the project is to establish the quality infrastructure (QI) in the field of solar thermal energy and to assure the availability of the respective specialists. To this end, four activities are being implemented: 1. guiding solar thermal testing laboratories toward accreditation, development and marketing of their services, 2. supporting calibration laboratories to help them achieve international recognition, 3. integrating QI into relevant university courses and 4. supporting the selection of a certification system for solar thermal systems.
The project improves the ability of regional metrology networks in Asia to support metrology in developing countries. This is achieved through three indicators stemming from sustainability strategy, regional cooperation and technical training, resulting in the following main aspects: strategic positioning of the networks, promotion of regional cooperation and technical support for developing countries in the application of international guidelines.
The goal of the project is to strengthen the Asia-Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC) to offer tailor-made services to accreditation bodies from developing countries. This includes optimizing APAC's offer according to the needs of the market, supporting (future) national accreditation bodies in their international recognition, expanding the scope of accreditation and contributing to improved economic development in the region.
The objective of the project is to facilitate the integration of southeast European countries into the EU market and other markets through QI services. This is done through the demand-driven implementation of regional sub-measures under the Advisory Fund (outputs 1 and 2) and through bilateral metrology and accreditation support in Albania and Bosnia (outputs 3 and 4).
The project aims to promote improved quality assurance services in agricultural value chains. To this end, new metrological services are introduced. Furthermore, case studies shall document the use of quality assurance services for trade and consumer protection.
