The Dutch energy sector has formally approved a specification of AS4 as communication protocol in the Dutch national energy market.

The “AS4 Energiemarkt Profiel” (AS4 Energy Market Profile) can now be used and distributed.

The next European Connectathon will take place in 8 to 12 of April 2019 in Rennes, France. The Asynchronous AS4 Option for Profiles such as XCA (Cross-community Access) and XCPD (Cross-community Patient Discovery) is on the testing agenda. Several participants are registered to test their implementations.

IHE International has published an Asynchronous AS4 Option for the e-Health domain. This option supports use of AS4 for existing Profiles such as XCA (Cross-community Access) and XCPD (Cross-community Patient Discovery).
