3. 3rd GA HFP, Research Community Workshop, Brussels, 6th October 2006 Interface “Research / RC&S” Safety side (HySafe WP16) Identify knowledge gaps that would require further studies prior to RC&S activities (pre-normative research) Account for the established processes of building new RC&S in these groups Promote consensus within EC on scientific / safety related RC&S aspects in order to strengthen the interest of EC via a consolidated voting Input consensual knowledge on scientific facts / hydrogen safety via active participation to targeted RC&S groups (ISO, IEC, UN ECE) If requested by other projects (HYAPPROVAL, HYCOM, HYGUIDE,…), review/discuss guidelines / safety reports produced by these projects Monitor and report on RC&S activities to the Research Maintain communication channels to all involved parties (HFP – CEN – CENELEC – ISO – IEC – EC – HySafe….)

4. 3rd GA HFP, Research Community Workshop, Brussels, 6th October 2006 propose to producers internally Gaps identification - definition of unresolved problem Scientific analysis Hypotheses - setting up a model Test - validate the model/benchmarking Theses - Apply model, “sell knowledge” or input to RC&S proposal or improvement Combustion properties of new solid storage materials? Design an appropriate test strategy Prototypical tests further benchmarks (involve externals or other tools) propose as standard test Example Application ?
