To collect different ideas and views on the future of the technology delegates of the conference as well as the main stakeholders had been invited to attend this meeting.
The workshop on 29th October 2016 in Amsterdam
To find a way to actually continue with the IWMA Research Project the IWMA Board of Directors first grouped the ideas and views. Then they asked the members of IWMA which option they favoured. The three options were:
1.) concentrate on existing protocols, developing an application guideline, agreed with the most relevant authorities, in order to get more acceptance with the current approvals
2.) concentrate on new applications: getting water mist accepted for applications for which there are no current approvals
3.) approach the approval and certification bodies (like e.g. VdS, BRE and FM) and try to agree on a common standard
The result of the voting looks like this: 63,6 % of the IWMA members voted for option no. 1 which makes this option the winner. 27,3 % voted for option no. 3 and a mere 9,1 % thought that option no. 2 was the best way to continue.
The board of directors is currently discussing the consequences of that choice and details of step two of the IWMA Research Project. They will keep you updated as soon as they come to further decisions.
