Preparatory Studies

In order to create a basis for the development of appropriate requirements the European Commission mandates preparatory studies for every appointed product group.

These studies have to follow a common structure and methodology elaborated and described in the methodology report.

Such a study is subdivided into eight tasks. See the picture (click to enlarge) beneath for an explanation what each task is about.
