1 **Description:** Impact assessment is a formal, evidence-based procedure that assesses the total outcome that comes as a result of the tested activity, above and beyond what would have happened anyway. Depending on the duration and scope of the validation process impact can be evaluated on individuals, organizations and the society in the short, medium and long term. Validation is the documented act of demonstration that a product or a service will consistently lead to the expected results. Validation test ensures that the product or the service actually meets the defined requirements and demonstrates that the solution fulfils its intended use when deployed on appropriate real environment.

5 **Key characteristics in living lab context:**
6
7 * The validation test is usually designed by LL
8 * Validation testing has to meet some minimum TRL level in order reliable test the solution impact
9
10 **Objectives:**
11
12 * Verify that the develop solution will consistently lead to the expected results and meet defined requirement,
13 * evaluate social impact,
14 * quantify change after solution usage
15
16 **Methods: **Survey, observation, pre and post measurement (short and long term), quantitative measures (e.g., physiological measures), feasibility study, usability study, interviews
17
18 **Tools/online tools: **questionnaires, validated scientific scale/questionnaires, sensors, thermal cameras
