IEE QAIST: http://www.qaist.org/
The practical approach to quality assurance in solar thermal heating and cooling technology with regards to components and systems is standardisation and testing. It is very important for growth and development that the standards and test methods keep track with recent developments and allow maximum flexibility for future innovations.

IEA Annex 34: http://www.annex34.org/
The goal of Annex 34 is to reduce the environmental impact of heating and cooling by the use of thermally driven heat pumps. It will be based on the results from Annex 24, "Absorption Machines for Heating and Cooling in Future Energy Systems", and cooperate with the IEA-SHC task 38, "Solar Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration".
