Circular Economy including Digital Product Passport

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

The project contribution in terms of the CWA under development will support SMEs that want to or are required legally to have a DPP for their products, which is a majority of SMEs in Europe. Close to 30 product categories are expected to be mandated to have a DPP in the mid-term future. To ensure the CWA effort is impactful for SMEs consideration is made of CEN-CENELEC GUIDE 17: Guidance for writing standards taking into account SME needs (2010). The impact on these SMEs is expected in terms of accelerating their journey to develop and set up their Digital Product Passport. By providing a concise guidance document that has been developed as a CWA pre-standard for understanding the scope, context, potentials and design and implementation decisions for Digital product passports.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

The CWA will also benefit European society by supporting economic actors to understand how DPPs can support their activities by enabling new information generation mechanisms and sharing for a circular economy.

Annegrit Seyerlein-Klug

Description of Activities

Annegrit's priority is the Convenorship of CEN CENELEC JTC21 WG 5, the organisation and project support to work on the AI Act standardisation request for Cybersecurity. This includes a close collaboration with other groups within JTC 21, JTC 13, ISO IEC SC 42 and SC 27 to collect all information of existing and work under development. The main challenge is that JTC 21 and also our WG5 has a diverse structure of experts and knowledge, which makes the work, the effort and efficiency very difficult. In this case, the challenge in addition is the collaboration with other existing standardisation groups within JTC 21 as well as with JTC 13 for Cyber Resilience Act, with ETSI and their view, with ISO IEC SC 27 and SC 42.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

Contributing activity for a new work item NWIP within CEN CENELEC JTC 21 WG5 “Artificial Intelligence - Cybersecurity specifications for AI systems” and developing the standard on the basis of the gap report.

Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)

A lot of European SME and/or European societies will be affected in the one or other way from AI-systems in the future in all areas of our living environment, from AI in medical devices, in personal equipment over autonomous driving until general purpose AI systems like chat gpt or Metaverse platforms. The challenge is to align the standards with the regulation but also with the needs of SME and European values. For this reason, the AI Act asked for standards, which CEN/CENELEC is developing.

Impact on SMEs (9th Open Call)

European SMEs , which are providing risk or high risk AI systems in the European market are effected by the AI Act and in that case also from the standard I work for and contribute: Cybersecurity Specifications for AI- Systems.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

Cybersecurity is elementary for every digital asset and very important also for AI-Systems as a digital asset to be secure, safe, healthy and respecting fundamental rights.

Impact on society (7th Open Call)

The proposed activity aims to answer the official EU standardization request for the EU AI Act and specifically No. 8 Cybersecurity. Thrustworthy Metaverse solutions are based on trustworthy AI solutions. Trust and cybersecurity of AI and Metaverse can be ensured with well developed standards from cybersecurity and AI experts with business background. In case of the European Union harmonized standards as presumption of conformity to the EU Regulation are requested, in this case the request is for the AI Act and CRA as an essential fundament for a trustworthy and secure web 4.0 with virtual world and Metaverse with the specific EU focus on safety, fundamental rights, health and data protection.

Impact on society (9th Open Call)

The AI Act has the goal to avoid or mitigate negative impact on people and society regarding Fundamental Rights, Health and Safety. All harmonized standards for the AI Act support this goal and request of the AI Act including the standard for Cybersecurity specifications for AI Systems.

Impact on SMEs (3rd Open Call)

The AI Trustworthiness Framework will serve as an entry point for industries and SMEs in order to facilitate this process, fostering conformity and facilitating industry competitiveness.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

The AI Trustworthiness Framework will serve as an entry point for industries and SMEs in order to facilitate this process, fostering conformity and facilitating industry competitiveness.

Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)

Industries and SMEs in the EU are facilitated in adopting standards. One of the main barriers for standard adoption is the complexity of the standardisation processes. In order to claim conformity, multiple requirements coming from multiple standards should be met. The AI Trustworthiness Framework will serve as an entry point for industries and SMEs in order to facilitate this process, fostering conformity and facilitating industry competitiveness.

Impact on SMEs (6th Open Call)

The framework simplifies compliance by serving as a single reference point for multiple obligations under the AI Act. This helps SMEs adopt standards more easily, reducing barriers and supporting competitiveness through clearer, harmonized guidance.

Impact on society (3rd Open Call)

The AI Trustworthiness Framework will reinforce social trust in AI systems, by providing companies, consumers and ultimately citizens with a clear understanding of the fundamental requirements for trustworthy AI.

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

Impact on society (5th Open Call)

Trustworthiness fosters social acceptance. One of the outstanding barriers in the deployment of innovative technologies is social acceptance. This barrier damages both the economic benefits and the social benefits of designing innovative AI systems. The AI Trustworthiness Framework will reinforce social trust in AI systems, by providing companies, consumers and ultimately citizens with a clear understanding of the fundamental requirements for trustworthy AI.

Impact on society (6th Open Call)

By clarifying what makes AI trustworthy and aligning it with EU values, the project increases public trust and supports responsible innovation. It also helps make ethics a professional role, reinforcing societal oversight over AI technologies.
