Material and digital traceability for the certification of critical raw materials Ghent University
MaDiTraCe’s main goal is to enlarge and integrate the portfolio of technological solutions reinforcing the reliability of critical raw material (CRM) tracking and the transparency of complex supply chains. The project aims to develop and test independent digital and geo-based approaches for CRM traceability and to integrate them with a generic certification scheme for CRMs throughout mineral supply chains from the mine to the manufactured and ...

ESR14: Towards standardized EMC assurance case patterns for the certification of medical equipment KU Leuven
In the end, both the EMC and Medical Directives require the manufacturer to clearly document all steps taken and decisions made to guarantee and check the conformity of the product in the so-called Technical Documentation. The purpose of the Technical Documentation is to make it possible for an external independent, external assessor or for the final user to (i) reproduce the whole reasoning followed by the manufacturer, (ii) assess the ...
Evaluation and optimization of a high-throughput sequencing based strategy to detect viruses and bacteria in view of certification and in vitro therapy to create virus free mother plants Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The aim of this research project is to produce virus-free starting materials (seeds, cuttings, planting material, tissues...) of commercial crops and to provide the sector with a useful technology to achieve this goal. We focus on crop-specific procedures, based on high-throughput sequencing (HTS), which we evaluate and further optimize for use in both certification (tree nursery and fruit ...
Evaluation and optimisation of a high-throughput sequencing (HTS) based strategy for the detection of viruses and bacteria, in function of certification and in vitro therapy for the creation of virus-free mother plants Ghent University
Viral diseases limit the yield of many important crops. They are particularly problematic in vegetatively propagated crops where they are transmitted from generation to generation. Therefore, viruses are a constant concern for propagation companies from different sectors as they carry a high responsibility for the agricultural and horticultural sector, often with legal and economic consequences. The overall objective of this project is the ...
