Adaptation to climate change - Guidelines on using climate data in infrastructure standards CEN/TR 18365:2026

Scope

This document specifies what future climate data is and where to find relevant climate data suited for infrastructure climate
adaptation and resilience-building needs. This document gives support to standards writers and users, whether detailed climate data
and information is specified in a standard, such as in a National Annex, or the standard requires the user to determine relevant
climate data and information as a separate exercise. This document focuses on the following climate system data: wind,
temperature, precipitation, humidity, sea level rise. In addition, Information is provided for how data is to achieve cross-border
consistency where necessary.
This document is intended for infrastructure owners, designers, operators and maintainers and staff of central/ regional authorities
who are responsible for infrastructure within countries that are associated with CEN/CENELEC. ‘Users’ includes the national
standards’ bodies and authorities who will be responsible for the use of climate data in national annexes to standards where they
exist.
