Report on identified standardization gaps

This deliverable is based on task T5.3 which monitors existing standards and ENGINE innovations to determine the industrial standards we should be following. It will interact with T2.1, T3.1, and T4.1 respectively data, software, and hardware specifications and ensure standardization inputs in specifications. There are gaps in current standardization, which we will then investigate and propose a pathway to full standardization. Currently, we have identified that marine LCA, accelerated certification procedures in cases when sufficient knowledge about material behaviour is gathered extensively and NDE related acceptance rules, inspection rules and guidelines when utilizing the increased knowledge and methodologies like AI driven defect assessment are gaps where to contribute to existing standards. Particularly for NDE, review the qualification of NDE inspection procedures according to ENIQ (European Network for Inspection and Qualification) and international regulations is a specific topic of interest in the scope of ENGINE production. The development of the acceptance criteria, inspection procedures and validate for use in different countries and assess possibilities for harmonization is a topic to be considered and contributed.
