CEN/TC 451/WG 2 develops CEN standards in the area of Information technology. The scope of work includes: Standardization in the field of design, environmental aspects, drilling, construction, completion, operation, monitoring, maintenance, rehabilitation and dismantling of borehole heat exchangers for uses of geothermal energy. Currently, there are 1 published standards from this working group.
The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) is a public standards organization that brings together the national standardization bodies of 34 European countries. CEN provides a platform for developing European Standards (ENs) and other technical documents in relation to various products, materials, services, and processes, supporting the European Single Market.
A Working Group in CEN is a specialized group responsible for developing standards or technical work within a defined scope. These bodies bring together international experts to create consensus-based standards that support global trade, safety, and interoperability.
This document covers standardization in the field of geological and environmental aspects, design, construction, operation, monitoring, maintenance and decommissioning of grouted borehole heat exchangers for uses in geothermal energy systems.
This document is only applicable for backfilled and grouted boreholes, it is not applicable for groundwater-filled boreholes.
Direct expansion and thermal syphon techniques are excluded from this document.
