Standardisation as tool for legal compliance: standardisation request explained Jarno Dakhorst, consultant Energy 1
INTRODUCTION INTO STANDARDISATION AND LINK TO LEGISLATION 2
Why standardisation? Overcoming trade barriers Vision ISO/TC 67 for oil & gas sector: Licence to operate Harmonisation 3
What is standardisation? Standardisation is an open process => all parties concerned invited to participate for broad support is developing agreements based on consensus => no sustained opposition is transparent => agreements are publicly available for comments and use takes place on three levels: national (e.g. NEN, DIN, BSI) regional (e.g. CEN, GSO) international (e.g. ISO, IEC) 4
What are standards? Standards are documents with agreements on products, services and systems... are designed for voluntary use... contribute to: (inter)national strength of competition innovation health, safety and environment image... are in accordance with WTO 5
What is relationship between regulation, standardisation, certification? One way to demonstrate is applying standards Organisation has to comply with legal requirements GOLDEN TRIANGLE Regulator has confidence in value of certificate to demonstrate compliance with law Third party conformity assessment increases credibility 6
and accreditation? DIAMOND Working with accredited conformity assessment bodies further increases confident in value certificate 7
Self-regulation Standardisation can also be deployed as self-regulatory instrument: market sets the standard responding to market needs [common process] standard can substitute (new) legal requirements, if authorities acknowledge broad support and implementation of standard while meeting governmental objectives Public-private partnerships to foster transitions by removing barriers including in the areas of energy and climate 8

STANDARDISATION REQUEST 10
What is a standardisation request? A standardisation request (also called mandate) is a political request from the European Commission (EC) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA), agreed upon by the Member States, addressed to CEN or CENELEC, in support of an action from the European Commission. This can be in support of legislative work such as a Directive (some EC Directives, not all, are 'New Approach' Directives), or in support of an industrial policy action from the European Commission 11
Standardisation request M/533 (1) Standardisation request for alternative fuels infrastructure (M/533) contains work programme to develop several European standards (EN) to which reference is made in Directive 2014/94/EU ( technical specifications ) to ensure interoperability 12
Standardisation request M/533 (2) Work programme natural gas supply Topic EN standard Status LNG refuelling point for maritime and inland waterway vessels LNG connectors and receptacles LNG/L-CNG refuelling points for motor vehicles CNG connectors and receptacles CNG refuelling points for motor vehicles EN ISO 20519, Specifications for bunkering of LNG fuelled vessels EN ISO 12617, LNG refuelling connector 3,1 MPa connector EN ISO 21593, Marine LNG fuel bunkering quick connect/disconnect coupling EN ISO 16924, LNG stations for fuelling vehicles EN ISO 14469, CNG refuelling connector EN ISO 16923, CNG stations for fuelling vehicles Published in 2017 Published in 2017 Available by 2018 Available by Q1 2018 Published in 2017 Available by Q1 2018 13
Standardisation request M/533 (3) Work programme electricity supply Topic AC normal recharging points for L-category motor vehicles (below 3,7 kva a.c.) AC normal recharging points for L-category motor vehicles (above 3,7 kva a.c.) Recommendation CEN-CENELEC emobility Coordination Group Equipped with charging system defined in EN 61851-1:2011: Mode 1 or 2 charging => socket-outlets compliant with IEC 60884 series Mode 3 charging => type 3a socketoutlets as per EN 62196-2:2017 Similar solution as defined for M-category motor vehicles; recharging points dedicated to L-category e-vehicles to be equipped with one socket-outlet as above Status Letter July 2017 Letter July 2017 NOTE Work programme consists of more topics including battery swapping for electric vehicles, shore-side electricity supply for maritime and inland waterway vessels, wireless recharging for passenger cars, light duty vehicles and buses, and supply connectors and socket outlets. No information provided by CEN/CENELEC in their latest report to European Commission. 14
Standardisation request M/533 (4) Work programme hydrogen supply Topic EN standard Status Outdoor hydrogen refuelling points dispensing gaseous hydrogen Hydrogen purity dispensed by hydrogen refuelling points Connectors for vehicles for refuelling of gaseous hydrogen EN 17127-1, Gaseous hydrogen Fuelling stations Part 1: General requirements EN 17124, Hydrogen fuel Product specification and quality assurance PEM fuel cell applications for road vehicles EN ISO 17268, Gaseous hydrogen land vehicle refuelling connection devices Available by 2018 * Available by 2018 * Published in 2016 * Link with Directive 2014/94/EU to be decided 15
Other relevant standards related to Directive 2014/94/EU Topic EN standard Status Natural gas fuel quality Fuel labelling EN 16723-2, Natural gas and biomethane for use in transport and biomethane for injection in natural gas network Part 2: Automotive fuels specification EN 16942, Fuels Identification of vehicle compatibility Graphical expression for consumer information Published in 2017 Published in 2016 16
Implementation of requested standards per delegated act As laid down in Directive 2014/94/EU, requested standards will be empowered per delegated act Delegated regulations will be offered in packages depending on availability of requested standards After adoption, European standards will become mandatory (part of legislation) As some requested standards not only address interoperability aspects, but also other aspects (e.g. safety), care should be taken which part of standard will be part of delegated act to avoid conflicts with national legislation (e.g. separation distances) 17
