Apart from these other topics such as Global Certification on related to standards and certification of solar thermal products are covered.
A proposal may relate to more than one priority issue. Furthermore, other projects proposals, related to the support of certification and standardisation as well as the promotion and quality assurance for solar thermal technology, can be submitted.
