PLANETS SSbD Training on Tier 1 Assessment (20.03.2025, Erpfendorf & hybrid)
On 20 March 2025 took place an internal training for PLANETS WP4 partners on Safe-and-Sustainable-by-Design (SSbD) and Tier 1 assessments, aligned with a Flame Retardant (FR) case study Workshop, in the headquarters of Steinbacher in Erpfendorf (Austria) in hybrid mode.
The aim of the training was to align the knowledge of project partners in the theory and purpose of SSbD Tier 1 assessment, its application as well as discuss about potential further adaptations needed in the SSbD workflow for the project’s case studies. On the basis of the jointly performed Tier 1 assessments onsite gap analyses were conducted and potential further adaptations prioritized for sector- or value chain position-specific requirements.
The session was prepared by Neeraj Shandilya and Thomas Hennequin (TNO), with the support of Joséphine Steck (CEA), Martin Himly, Sabine Hofer, Norbert Hofstätter (PLUS).
