La guía brinda bases técnicas prácticas para la gestión integral de residuos peligrosos en laboratorios de forma segura, responsable y conforme a la normativa, destacando la importancia de la clasificación correcta, desde la prevención y minimización de la generación de dichos residuos, hasta su gestión ambiental. The guide provides practical technical guidelines for the comprehensive management of hazardous waste in laboratories in a safe, responsible, and compliant manner, emphasizing the importance of proper classification—from the prevention and minimization of such waste generation to its environmental management.

Saliendo de una descripción tanto de la política colombiana de hidrógeno y sus documentos como de los proyectos existentes, el estudio analiza la preparación concreta de los servicios de la IC y sus brechas con énfasis en el aseguramiento de la calidad y la seguridad (protección contra explosiones) de H2v a lo largo de la cadena de valor. El documento termina con algunas conclusiones y recomendaciones para mejorar la situación. Based on a description of the Colombian green hydrogen policy and related documents, as well as the existing projects, the study analyses the current state of the QI services and identifies gaps with emphasis on quality assurance and safety (protection against explosions) of gH2 throughout the value chain. It concludes with several findings and recommendations for improving the situation.

La Ficha Técnica ASG es el primer documento extenso que explica los beneficios económicos y medioambientales de la transformación del desecho “escorias negras” en la materia prima secundaria “agregado siderúrgico gris (ASG)” aplicable en la construcción vial remplazando escasos arenas naturales escasos por arenas industriales. Describe las características fisicoquímico- mecánicas del producto ASG y las exigencias al desarrollo de los servicios de la infraestructura de la calidad. The Technical Passport ASG is the first comprehensive document that explains the economic and environmental benefits of the transformation of the waste “black furnace slag” into a secondary raw material – “grey furnace aggregate (ASG)” – applicable in road building replacing scarce natural sands by industrial sands. It describes the physicochemical-mechanical characteristics of the ASG product and the requirements for the development of relevant quality infrastructure services in Colombia.

The objective on outcome-level was: The National Office for Metrology and Standardization (ONANOR) provides fee-based, market-oriented quality infrastructure (QI) services for the mining and fisheries sectors. At the impact level, the objective was: The sustainability of selected economic sectors in Mauritania is improved. To this end, the National Metrology Laboratory was to be enabled to offer fee-based calibration services. For small-scale mining and traditional fisheries, gender- and environment-sensitive standards were to be developed, and information campaigns were to increase demand for QI services. The project was extended by four months at no additional cost.
