Volunteers from FEUP, CERTH, and UNI collaborated to compile all the technical and standard data for the formulation of the technical specification based on the specifications specified by the pilots' leaders. A full explanation of the use cases and the machines involved in the refurbishment, remanufacturing, and retrofitting during the RECLAIM project has been developed using the needs that were determined during the information gathering phase. The matrix of requirements for the identification of the prospective issues to be the challenge at the RECLAIM project has been finished by the industrial partners Gorenje, Fluchos, Podium, Harms & Wende, and Zorlutek. The demand and gap in the standardised field were included in these matrices, which is a crucial factor to consider the technical solution in the future. UNI carried out the standardised analysis plan from the input data given by other partners involved in this endeavour.
The main standardisation gaps to be considered during the RECLAIM project were: Monitoring Sensors: Alignment verification, quality and density of water pipeline, energy consumption of the furnace, real time monitoring; Predictive Maintenance: Definition of standards to predict shutdown; Human Error: Need of standardized procedure to record spare parts.

QU4LITY project addresses a standardization strategy for zero-defect production. This project resolves missing or overlapping elements in various ZDM standardisation areas. The standards study makes use of the most recent findings from Task T9.2 regarding present-day activities and stakeholders in relation to the identified standardised ecosystem. In order to provide reliable solutions QU4LITY supports compliance with the five relevant cross-cutting standardised domains, QU4LITY conducts pilots on the most appropriate standard usage. All specifications aim at providing helpful recommendations for use for affected pilots:
1. Compliance Specification for Interoperability Standards
2. Compliance Specification for Safety and Security Standards
3. Compliance Specification for Artificial Intelligence Standards
4. Compliance Specification for Quality Standards
5. Compliance Specification for Reference Architecture Standards, Reference
Architecture Standards, Digital Models and Vocabularies

EFPF ensured that the Factory platform complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Aligning project objectives and activities with existing laws and standards is a crucial component of EFPF. In order to ease data sharing and standardisation procedures, it also engages in significant engagements with national and European regulation and standardisation organisations on smart industrial automation, data processing, and analytics. The question of which of the increasingly overlapping standards to use as a reference for every particular platform solution confronts researchers and technicians at EFPF. This is a typical issue in any field where standards are in conflict or overlap.
The strategy used by EFPF is to closely monitor the development of various standardisation initiatives. With the assistance of experts (like ASI, a core partner of EFPF), RTD activities are aligned with ongoing standardisation activities with the goal of adopting existing standards and, when possible, contributing to their development. Based on the nature of technical activities in WP3 to WP7, the following aspects of EFPF are considered relevant to the ongoing standardisation and regulation activities:

The DigiPrime project aims to address the issue of poor data and knowledge exchange among value chain stakeholders and sectors, which hinders cross-sectoral circular economy opportunities and limits the uptake of reusable materials by end customers. To solve this problem, the project is developing a digital platform concept that aims to overcome the current information asymmetry among value chain stakeholders. The project's main goal is to unlock new circular business models by focusing on the data-enhanced recovery and reuse of functions and materials from high-value-added post-use products as the foundation of its platform.
To achieve this, the project has planned standardization activities that cover two complementary aspects:
By doing so, the project aims to promote consistency in the circular economy and improve the efficiency of data and knowledge exchange among value chain stakeholders.
KYKLOS 4.0 emphasises customisation and circular manufacturing. As a result, the candidate standards were determined in accordance with the following factors: (1) inputs from partners; (2) project requirements; (3) linked EU frameworks; (4) examination of scientific literature; and (5) standards inventory within the project's purview. The partners in KYKLOS 4.0 are interested in adopting standards in a variety of fields, such as digital transformation (such as OneM2M), sector-specific standards for pilots (such as ISO 14971:2019), data exchange and file formats (such as ISO 10303 and HDF5), or higher-level standards like ISO 27001 for information security management systems. The project requirements, acceptance in the worldwide community, comparable projects, or scientific papers were used to evaluate potential standards. Most of the identified standards are complementary and able to produce synergies in their incorporation. However, especially in the area of data exchange different standards suggest different solutions. No discrimination was made in terms of standards or points of origin.
The partners assessed the KYKLOS 4.0 standards and their adoption is continually improved, while the process is being carried out. In task T5.3, the team tried to assess various levels of interoperability in the procedure. Along with task T12.5, which is in charge of tracking the project's standardised context, a survey was started. Meetings with the various project partners were held on a regular basis, and the delivery was developed in line with the standardising framework noted in T12.5. The standards were chosen to be documented in a standardised fashion using the ArchiMate language. A list of other candidate standards that would be interesting to adopt in KYKLOS 4.0 is included in the documentation. Two standards—ISO 10303 and ISO 14048—that are highly pertinent to the scope of KYKLOS 4.0 are already in use by KYKLOS 4.0 pilots. With KYKLOS 4.0, ISO 10303 will be used beyond the CAD domain to prove its function in gathering and facilitating access to data linked to personalised and circular manufacturing. The data's long-term readability in this standard format is one of the issues that merit consideration. Project partners received instructions on how to use ISO 10303. KYKLOS 4.0 collaborates with Small Business Standards (SBS) to facilitate wide acceptance and utilization by the market.
Medical, electronic devices, electronic equipment, and automotive project pilots are already pursuing ISO 10303 (Industrial automation systems and integration — Product data representation and exchange) and ISO 14048 (Life cycle assessment and environmental management). The project currently has a good understanding of relevant standards. Modern algorithms have been used to identify various data reduction approaches, and a comprehensive model for fault relationships has been created. KYKLOS 4.0 will develop toolkits to implement auditing mechanisms.
