The LFE Technical Advisory Group (TAG) aims to analyse, compare and produce documents & reports on
- specific regional standard changes for the adoption of Living Future certification
- crosswalk documents on Living Future programs and other standards or policies relevant to the European market
- harmonisation between Living Future programs and the existing / in progress regulations at a European or National level
The Technical Advisory Group will be working on some key tasks, i.e., how Living Future programs are fitting or not already established on in progress European standards, thanks to the experience and knowledge from the European context.
