**5. Open Innovation Services (OIS) in MEZeroE [3,7]**

One of the key activities in the field of open innovation services of the OIS1 team is the creation of standard procedures for the certification and CE marking of construction products for modern construction products supplied by industrial partners. In addition, OIS1 is intended to create a roadmap for product certification and CE marking for groups of innovative products used in nZEBs and a general framework to support the creation of new roadmaps for specific products outside the consortium.

The innovation service is primarily addressed to manufacturers, but also in relation to ISO 17025, it aims to support laboratories through the standardization of performance evaluation. The service will enable the development of certification systems to be achieved in the field of technical guidelines, assessment and support in the certification of innovative construction products. The service is based on the following:


These three pillars make a close link between OIS1 and construction product market possible.

The final goal of the project is to develop information paths in the field of the CE marking of various groups of construction products used in the building envelope. Tracks will include procedures in line with Regulation 305/2011 (CPR) [4] or its amendment, if approved before project completion [8], and ways to quickly standardize and place innovative products on the market using ETA. The tracks will include the following:


OIS1 is managed by specialists with experience in the European assessment of innovative products confirmed by participation in CEN and standardization in the national group, participation in numerous EOTA workshops and bodies, and development of EADs (European assessment documents) for individual innovative products for which there is a lack of coordinated technical references.
