Impact/Purpose:
Information.
Description:
The U.S. ETV Program has been active internationally for more than 10 years. Initially these efforts focused on sharing information about the U.S. program. Over the last four years, ETV has formalized working relationships with other countries with the objective of developing a common approach to verification, ultimately leading to mutual recognition. ETV has helped foster the development of international verification programs by holding workshops and sharing information about the U.S. program--its structure, operating values, outcomes, and lessons learned. Canada, the European Union, Japan, Korea, Denmark, and the Philippines have or are piloting verification programs. China, India, and Bangladesh have also expressed interest in developing ETV programs. In response to this growth, the U.S. EPA is building effective working relationships with these and other ETV programs. These relationships encourage international programs to expand technology verification similar to the U.S. EPA ETV. Furthermore, these relationships may also promote collaborations that stimulate broader technology acceptance, both internationally and in the U.S.
