Facilitating the Market Transfer of Sensors for Forensic Applications
Through Standardization
Abstract
The presentation outlines the RISEN project, funded by the European Union's Horizon 2020 program, which aims to enhance forensic investigations through the development of advanced sensors. The project, coordinated by ENEA in Italy, involves 22 partners and has a four-year duration with a budget of 7 million euros. Key goals include optimizing the detection, visualization, and interpretation of forensic traces, and improving the marketability of these technologies through standardization. The presentation details the development of two CEN/CENELEC Workshop Agreements (CWAs) focused on sensor APIs and best practices for positioning forensic traces in digital crime scene reconstructions. It emphasizes the importance of standardization to facilitate market transfer, enhance interoperability, and provide guidelines that ensure consistent and accurate use of forensic technologies. Benefits for consumers, the economy, and research sectors are highlighted, showcasing how standards help save costs, improve safety, and support innovation.
