ESO Technology Readiness Levels

ESO TRL are defined in the SoW, Appendix A: /wiki/spaces/GEN/pages/5702333 .

The table is based on the ECSS-E-AS-11C , which already contains a bit more details.

The ECSS in turn is based on ISO 16290:2013 (non-official version). This ISO standard contains some more detailed description, and also some examples, which might be useful to get an idea what is meant.

ECSS-E-AS-11C and ISO 16290:2013 can be found here: ownCloud link.
