Description

The results presented in the deliverable D7.7 come from the activity carried out under task T7.4 “Standardization and public and civil society involvement for policy contribution to circular economy approach”. It collects the (actual and/or potential) contributions to standardization coming from TRICK project.
During the project activities, starting from the requirements definition to the pilots’ test, it was clear that there are two main problems that companies have to face when engaging with third-party platform, in particular:
• Missing interfaces, on the company systems, to ingest the data from TRICK platform.
• Finding - or defining - a standard that would ensure homogeneity in data collection across companies.
In this context, the potential contribution of the TRICK project to a framework of standards supporting the data collection behind the Digital Product Passport (DPP) is very relevant. The TRICK data model, with its approach to the collection of traceability and sustainability data along the whole supply chain, is one of the main results of TRICK, with an interesting mapping towards the DPP requirements. For this reason, the data model with its public implementation as extension to the CEN CWA 16667 (eBIZ) specification, will be subject of a new CEN CWA, currently under evaluation.
More in general, thanks to the activity carried out by the project partners throughout the project, several insights have been gathered on how TRICK results can impact on standards and regulation already in place, highlighting where new standards are needed.
The results of the two PEF studies provided in deliverable D5.6 point out relevant observation to the current stage of development of the PEF Category Rules (PEFCRs) for the Textile sector, highlighting their main criticalities and shortcomings. Similarly, interesting considerations on a potential standardized way to measure circularity in the TC sector comes from the Circularity Assessment Service released on TRICK platform and tested with TRICK pilots.
Another valuable insight into new best practices and potential candidate standards for EU customs procedure comes from the results of the development and testing of the Preferential Certificate of Origin (PCO) service, with the involvement of the Italian customs agency. The interoperability between TRICK platform and AIDA system, with the support of the Blockchain technology facilitates and speeds up data exchange between all stakeholders, improves traceability and transparency of the supply chain, reduces disputes on transactions and trade and allows to manage at batch level the shipments documentation of goods.
TRICK has provided interesting contributions to standardization also on the topic of Blockchain technologies. Relevant collaborations with standardization committees related to Blockchain and Identity Management are in place, with active participation on specific topics. A solid basis for the development of standardization protocols for data portability comes from the activity carried out to address challenges like data integrity and interoperability. Furthermore, an overview of the use of Blockchain technology in logistics is provided, together with a focus on the role of the e-CMR, highlighting the need for standardization in logistics and shipping, as well as on the topic of anticounterfeiting and anomaly detection.
