Book Description
The Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program has been established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to verify the performance characteristics of innovative environmental technologies across all media and report this objective information to the states, buyers, and users of environmental technology; thus, accelerating the entrance of these new technologies into the marketplace. Verification organizations oversee and report verification activities based on testing and quality assurance protocols developed with input from major stakeholders and customer groups associated with the technology area. ETV consists of six technology centers. Information about each of these centers can be found on the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/etv/. EPA's ETV Program, through the National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL), Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division (APPCD) has partnered with Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC), through the National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence (NDCEE), to verify innovative coatings and coating equipment technologies for reducing air emissions from coating operations. Pollutant releases to other media are considered in less detail. The following protocol outlines the basis for completing an ETV verification test of High-Transfer Efficiency Spray Guns.
