Rigorous lab or field data obtained through quality-assured testing are reviewed and verified by accredited third-party bodies to ensure technology performance claims, such as pollutant removal efficiencies, are accurate. In the absence of established regulatory standards, science-based protocols and technology specific test plans (TSTPs) are used to verify technology performance claims.
Civil engineers and consultants integrate ETV-verified solutions to support design choices and specifications based on objective performance parameters, such as sediment, nutrient, and heavy metal removal efficiencies. The ISO 14034 Statement of Verification serves as a reliable technical reference in project submittals, reducing technical uncertainty for project proponents and environmental regulators.
Regulatory agencies and municipalities can use ISO 14034 ETV verifications as accepted proof of performance when permitting manufactured treatment devices (MTDs). This includes evidence-based approvals of novel technologies that current government regulations or codes cannot easily evaluate.
Municipalities and utility managers can rely on verification statements to make sound, data-backed infrastructure purchasing decisions. In addition, technology developers benefit from the credibility and international recognition of ISO 14034 ETV to effectively compete in domestic and global markets.
