U.S. EPA’s Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program

U.S. EPA’s ETV Program verifies performance characteristics of environmentally-ready technologies, offering buyers and regulators data from independent third parties. The program evaluates and verifies technology performance under specific protocols, without certifying them. Benefits include providing credible performance data, facilitating technology acceptance, reducing financial risks, and enabling fair assessment through standardized testing.

  1. U.S. EPA’sEnvironmental Technology Verification (ETV)Program

  2. ETV Goal Verify performance characteristics Commercially-ready environmental technologies Providing purchasers and permitters with performance data From independent third parties under the auspices of the U.S. EPA.

  3. ETV Definitions • ETV Does Evaluate and Verify • verify: to establish or prove the truth of the performance of a technology under specific predetermined protocols and QA/QC procedures. • evaluate: to carefully examine and judge the efficacy of a technology. • ETV Does Not Certify • certify: to guarantee a technology as meeting a standard or performance criteria into the future.

  4. Benefits of the ETV Program • Provides objective, credible performance data to buyers. • Facilitates technology acceptance and permitting at the state/local level. • Reduces risk for financial investors. • Fair assessment through standardized testing. • Facilitates export of American products.

  5. ETV Facts • ETV Program - led by EPA’s Office of Research and Development (ORD). • Currently 12 ETV Pilot Partnerships • NSF has 3 ETV Pilots

  6. NSF’s ETV Pilots • Drinking Water Treatment Technologies • Source Water Protection Technologies • Wet Weather Flow Technologies
