The use of standardisation in research and innovation projects aims to increase the impact and significance of the results obtained by including them in new standards. This helps to make them more accessible to industry, regulators and society at large, transferring knowledge generated in research to the market. This is in line with the European Policy on Knowledge Valorisation and the ERA Code of Practice on Standardisation, which recommend using tools such as standardisation, among others, to make research results benefit economic activity, welfare and safety in Europe.   The participation of a dedicated partner such as UNE (Spanish Association for Standardization) makes it easier for projects to develop this type of activity. UNE has already participated in more than a hundred European projects, obtaining results such as the publication of more than 60 CWAs (CEN-CENELEC Workshop Agreement), creation of working groups (WG) in CEN, contribution to standards or revision of ISO...
