The Association establishes its research-cooperation arrangements.

Topics and source material

Start with a practical question and identify the subject, sources and application limits. General concepts must not replace project facts.

Check the version, origin and conditions of use of standards, data, project cases and third-party opinions.

Research organisation

The Research Centre coordinates material, discussions and reviews by discipline. Joint-research partners agree responsibilities, use of documents and publication scope.

Developing findings

Interim findings may become thematic reports, case analyses, technical material or discussion papers. Publication follows fact checks, editing and consideration of expert comments.

Conditions of use

Research supports professional exchange and reviews. It does not replace local statutory approval, standards interpretation, testing, acceptance or determinations of professional responsibility.
