Executive Summary

This document provides a summary of the final SUSTA-SMART event, which was

originally planned as Public Event 2 (PE2).

Organising a first public event (PE1) was abandoned in favour of focussing all efforts

on a full project presentation on one event at the end of the project in M18. Therefore

the final event was the only large scale public event of the projects. In order to

maximise the dissemination output, the SUSTA-SMART final event was organised on

March 31st

, the last day of the project, in conjunction with the 9th annual event of the

European Technology Platform, organised by SUSTA-SMART partner Euratex, whichtook place March 31April 1, 2014 in Brussels.

This document results from task 4.3 coordinated by EURATEX.

Introduction

In this document an overview is given over the final SUSTA-SMART event, which tookplace on March 31

st, 2014 at the end of the project (M18).

This event was originally planned as Public Event 2 (PE2), but after the consortium

decided to first postpone and then finally abandon the organisation of an intermediate

public event, the SUSTA-SMART Final Event became the only public event of the

project.

The decision for having only one public event was driven by the fact, that the impact

would be higher if all efforts would be focussed on a full project presentation at the

end of the project in M18, especially given the short duration of the project.

In order to maximise the dissemination output, the SUSTA-SMART final event wasorganised on March 31

st, the last day of the project, in conjunction with the 9th annual

event of the European Technology Platform, organised by SUSTA-SMART partner

Euratex, which took place March 31April 1, 2014 in Brussels. This made it possible to

present the project to a large audience of relevant stakeholders.

The event was also used to keep the momentum for standardisation of smart textiles

going beyond SUSTA-SMART

This document results from task 4.3, coordinated by EURATEX.

About the SUSTA-SMART Final Public Event

One major Public Event (PE) fully dedicated to SUSTA-SMART was organized in theproject life-time. The plan originally scheduled two public events as PE1 in M6 (March

2013) and PE2 in M18 (March 2014) (reference SUSTA-SMART Annex I WP4

description) however the conclusions of the Kick off meeting let the partner agree at

first to postpone the PE1 and at a later meeting to cancel it all together to maximize

the event impact based on greater availability of earlier results.

During the project execution the partners realized that few occasions to effectively

target a relevant audience with the SUSTA SMART topics were available in the

considered timeframe. To maximize the contents of the event it was decided to focus

all efforts, and above all the invitee attention into one single event, at the final of the

project hence when all results were available.

Accordingly the public event took take place in the final month M18 and presented the

final results while discussing them with an external guest panel.

Synergies with the 9th

annual event of the European Technology Platform for textile

provided great support for SUSTA SMART to effectively reach a considerable, pan

European audience. About 50 participants out of the 70 registered joined the event at

Hotel Husa Park in Brussels.

ETP annual conference.

The event format and impact

The event featured a concise agenda effectively splitting the meeting into two majorparts, the first being fully dedicated on the actions and results of the project and the

second one involving external stakeholders, notably from commercial companies who

addressed the project topics from an external perspective.

4.1 Part 1 of the Final Event Presentation of the SUSTA-SMART project

The first part featured typical project presentations, aiming at informing the audience

about the objectives and achievements of the SUSTA-SMART project.

In the following a short overview over the presentations will be given. The full

presentations can be found in the appendix of this deliverable.In the first presentation the project coordinator, K. Eufinger from Centexbel, gave an

introduction to the SUSTA-SMART project.

Figure 2: Extract of the presentation introducing the SUSTA-SMART project

The next presentation was delivered by J. De Baets from IMEC, which provided insights

on a range of application of smart textiles in wellness, healthcare, automotive,

packaging while presenting conclusions on electronic textiles as promising

combination of fabrics and electronics for new intelligent products. First products

entering the market were also mentioned.

The presentation also explained the merging of textiles and electronics, for which the

terms textile electronics or electronic textiles are being used.

Figure 3: Extract of the presentation of imec

Following, a more technical and project specific presentation was delivered by G.

Loriga of DAppolonia which elaborated on the work done to map the relevant

standardization organizations and standards related issues discovered in FP6/FP7

projects across the three target domains (PPE, Construction and Consumer Goods); To

synthesize and prioritize the needs for standards and lead to a standardization

roadmap and finally to produce a standardization input documents suitable for beingpresented to the relevant standardization committees.

The final presentation of this first part of the SUSTA-SMART final event was concluded

by the project coordinator, K. Eufinger of Centexbel, who focused on the concrete

proposals delivered by the project, the Standardisation deliverables and which

committees will be addressed (e.g. CEN TC 248 WG31 Smart Textiles, CEN-CLC BT WG

8, PPE Sector forum) and future needs towards establishing r new Technical

Committees or Working groupswhichwere identified.

4.2

Part 1 of the Final Event: Panel discussion

The aim of the panel discussion was to discuss standardisation needs towards smarttextiles from outside the project.

To get the discussion started the Panel Discussion was titled in a provocative manner

Do smart textiles need standardisation? Mr. Henk Vanhoutte from the European

Safety Federation moderated the panel discussion. The panel was composed of

representatives from SMEs (both fashion and technical), large companies and CEN,

being Mr. I. Al Tal from Ohmatex, Mr. L. Van den Berghe from the CEN-CENELEC

Management Centre (CCMC), Mr. K. van Os from Philips and Ms. Winters from

Rainbow Winters.

Figure 5: The members of the discussion, from left to right: (1) The guests Mr. I. Al Tal, Mr. L. Van den

Berghe, Mr. K. van Os and Ms. A. Winters, and (2) SUSTA-SMART partner Mr. H. Vanhoutte

Before the actual discussion the members of the panel introduced themselves and

provided a short overview over the activities of their companies. The discussion itself

was guided by a set of questions by the moderator, first addressed to the members of

the panel and then directed to the audience.

These questions aimed at discussing whether standards are considered relevant for

developing new products or services, whether R&D centres consider standards during

research projects (question directly to the Audience) what the benefits in using

standards where and what makes it difficult for researchers and innovators to beinvolved in standardisation.

The following discussion resulted in some fruitful results, the full content can be found

back in the minutes of the meeting, which have been added in the appendix of this

deliverable.

Conclusions and outlook

The event was closed by Ms Eufinger addressing thanks and acknowledgements tomembers of the panel, participants and project partners.

The meeting proceedings including documentation used was made available to

participants, as well as the public deliverables of the project (available at the same

time as the submission of this deliverable).

Overall, in this event some 50 participants from about a dozen of European countries

were informed about the key features of SUSTA SMART and how the project work and

impact could be of interest to the participating companies.

The latter is probably the largest achievement of the event which showed first hand

perspectives of standardisation issues, research activities and economic interests ofcompanies coming together for the purpose of bringing new products onto the market

creating wealth for innovative companies and benefits for the society.

HURDLES TO TAKE

Large rigid parts in soft and stretchable materialare causing reliability problems

Fabrication technology is now often (partially)manual cost too high

Washability is an issue

Less integrated solutions (design, parts,manufacturing process, dimensions) lead to lossof important textile aspects (drapeable,comfortable, breathable )

ADAPT ELECTRONICS AND

ELECTRONICS FABRICATIONWhat can be done to make electronic packages and circuitboards better adapted to textile ?

Make components smaller

Bare die silicon instead of packaged; thinned silicon becomes even flexible !

Make boards and interconnects flexible or stretchable, such that it matchesthe fabric properties

Electronic system partitioning such that a limited number of interconnects totextile is needed

Dedicated interconnect methods (e.g. mechanical clamping)

Full encapsulation, for reliability and washability

Panel Discussion: Do smart textiles need standardisation

Moderated by Henk Vanhoutte, European Safety Federation, Panellists: Amy Winters, Rainbow Winters

UK, Ibrahim Al Tal, Ohmatex DK, Koen van Os, Philips NL, Luc Van den Berghe. CEN European

Standardisation Organisation

For the questions please also refer to the presentation 05_panel discussion.pdf.

Introduction of the participants

Amy Winters, Rainbow Winters UK: Designer. Currently not active in standardisation yet, but would like

to become more involved to improve her product development.Koen van Os, Philips NL: They are quite active in the development of smart textiles and wearables. For

their applications standardisation and voluntary labels are important.

Luc Van den Berghe. CEN-CENELEC Management Centre (European Standardisation Organisation),

research help desk.

Ibrahim Al Tal, Ohmatex DK: Smart textile products.

Question 1: Are you considering standards when developing newproducts or services? Why or why not?

Ohmatex: yes, they do, but often no standards are available. As a result they need to rely on their own

knowledge.

Rainbow Winter: They develop innovative products for which no benchmarking standards exist yet.

These would be welcome.

Philips: They develop medical devices where standards are important for proving claims & get the

products certified.

CEN-CENELEC Management Centre: For novel products people often dont realise that often existing

standards are available for testing the products (sometimes in a different context).

Question to the Audience: Do R&D centres consider standards during research projects?

Yes, towards tech transfer they are.


53/54

Question to Ms. Winter: If you would develop your own standard, would you make it available to the

public? Their standards are quite focussed towards their products. It would be better to collaborativelydevelop more general standards.

Comment from Mr van OS: They are an electronics company, which has a lot of knowledge around

standards used in the electronics industry, but they do not know enough yet on textile related

standards. Also concerning voluntary labels in the textile sector they need to learn more as they

consider these important for smart textile marketing.

Concerning the market acceptance of products: most customers like to know which standard/ test

method was used to evaluate the performance of the product and they prefer to see results from

broadly known and accepted standards/methods. The conclusion is that standards can assist the

market acceptance of a new product.

Question to Mr. Van den Berghe, CEN: How can one get more information of standards or the contentof standards?

All standards and related documents are copyright protected pro can be purchased from the CEN &

CENELEC national members. There exist some data bases where a first screening can be performed. For

more details on the standard and also to become involved with developing standards, it is best to

work more closely together with the CEN members (the National Standardisation Bodies). The CEN-

CENELEC Research Help Desk can assist here.

Question 2: Do you see a benefit in using standards?

This question was already mostly answered in the discussion of question 1. So it was not further

discussed here.

Question 3: What makes it difficult for researchers and innovators to beinvolved in standardisation? Or is it easy?

Mr. Van Os: Philips knows where they want to go, but the problem for them is the timeframe needed

to develop standards is longer than the life-time of the R&D project. It is difficult to guarantee

consecutive R&D projects for finalize a standardisation project.

Mr. Van den Berghe: There are also other standardisation deliverables which have a timeframe more

compatible to that of an R&D project. An example are Technical Specifications. The lay out of the

document can be similar to that of a standard, but the processing time is shorter and the document

can later be upgraded to an EU standard.

Mr. Al Tal: For Ohmatex researchers standards have the clear advantage that they make it easier to

prove the functionality of a development. On the other hand they feel that s ridged system of

standards can slow down/ inhibit innovation. A balance needs to be found.

Mr. Winters: Fashion has a 6 month cycle, which does not match the timing for developing standards.

Mr. Vanhoutte: Perhaps a good solution would be to use the system of smart standardisation, where

product requirements are set instead of product design specifications.

Mr. Van den Berghe: Standards are always voluntary. There may also be other methods used to prove

functionality, etc.

Audience: It seems that there is not enough recognition and implementation of EU standards by EU

projects (and the EU project calls from the EC). It would be interesting to have an automatic system

where all/ a majority of EU projects integrate standardisation.


54/54

Mr. Van den Berge: For the moment they are recommending indeed an integrated approach. Here

each R&D project should include a dedicated WP. The National Standardisation Bodies are beingapproached on how to assist here. There is also the possibility of a project having a project liaison to a

Technical Committee. Also in some current calls of the EC H2020 programme there is a reference to

standardisation made, sometimes more general, sometimes quite specific.

Audience: A two- way approach is needed:

1) Product development: here standards are a useful tool to prove product performance. Here

companies should be the drivers.

2) R&D can provide input for the development of new standards or revision of existing ones.

Here researchers need some basic training, so they send them to CEN committee meetings to

learn how they are working.

Audience (Mr. Lymberis, EC, DG connect, electronics & ICT): This is a very interesting discussion. He isfollowing CEN TC 248 WG 31 Smart Textiles. For the development of standards the companies should

be the driving force. For the moment the marked to too scattered to have a strong driver for a given

application. On the other hand, for research and innovation standardisation is not such a large issue.

Only interesting for feasibility studies (here again companies should be involved).

Question to Mr. van OS: How did Philips deal with the conformity assessment of the medical wearables

they develop? They do look into the conformity assessment concerning the medical directive and

requirements towards electronics. E.g. Biocopatibility, wireless transmission and battery are covered.

What they did not cover was the subject of e-textiles, due to lack of knowledge on textiles.

Audience: Concerning R&D projects, it is not always feasible to have a complete work package

dedicated to standardisation. Also, since European projects are active on an EU level (and some of the

partners have divisions all over Europe or even the world). It seems not straightforward which National

Standardisation Body to choose.

Did SUSTA-SMART have an added value? Do the road maps presentedmake sense?

Mr. Van den Berghe: In the project the needs of a sector where addressed, so yes.

Mr. van Os: Roadmaps are always interesting, but they need to be updated regularly, SUSTA-SMART

provided here an update.

Mr. Al Tal: Projects like SUSTA-SMART also provide a platform for networking.

There are a lot of standards for ICT, but they are quite often not applicable for ICT integrated intotextile.

A. Winter: Most important issue for them is to develop a common language for fashion, electronics,

research and standardisation.
