Design of environmental-friendly products using Information Standards

Objective

The objective of DEPUIS is to improve the environmental friendly design of new products and services through the innovative use of new information standards. The standards are applications of ISO 10303 Product data representation and exchange, ISO 135 84 Parts Libraries and ISO 15926 Reference data library. Each of these standards uses an information model to provide a computer-processable specification for product data that is independent from any proprietary software system. These standards support the neutral exchange of data between different computer systems and are the basis for long-term data retention and archiving.

The main strategic objective of this project is to enable more companies, particularly SMEs, to use life cycle thinking on the environmental impact of their design of new products, in conformance with the Communication on Integrated Product Policy of the European Commission. The project has two main actions: provision of e-learning on the new technologies and opportunities created by the information standards and also ISO 14048; workshops to achieve interaction between users and developers of the standards to speed up the acceptance and dissemination of the new methods. The participants in the e-learning process and the workshops will be software developers, environmental advisers and consultants who will support SMEs in the use of this life-cycle thinking.

The partners in the project consortium will be the developers of the standards and organisations in the environmental sector with a proven record of supporting SMEs in their take up of new technologies. The outcome from the workshops will be used to prepare policy recommendations to ISO and CEN in the areas of standardisation and innovation for reducing environmental impact.
