AFCOS Project
Responding to the 2022 EU Standardization Strategy, the EU Green Deal, and the Double Transition, the AFCOS project is at the forefront of this innovation. The mission of the project is to develop recommendations for more agile standardization processes for construction materials.
This initiative is rooted in pre-normative research conducted collaboratively across various sectors, involving research, standardization, and industrial stakeholders from a wide range of European countries. By encouraging technological sovereignty and reducing dependencies, AFCOS aims to enhance the global competitiveness of the European construction industry. This is crucial for stakeholders seeking to maintain an advantage in a rapidly evolving global market.
​
AFCOS aims to create a lasting impact on the construction industry by setting a precedent for future standardization efforts. The project has facilitated meetings between manufacturers, researchers, and individuals involved in the standardization process to identify key issues related to the implementation and market adoption of the products promoted by the AFCOS project.
