Impact/Purpose:
To inform the public
Description:
The Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) Program has been established to verify the performance characteristics of innovative environmental technologies and report this objective information, 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. EPA's ETV Program, through the National Risk Management Research Laboratory, Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division has partnered with Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC), through the National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence, to verify innovative coatings and coating equipment technologies for reducing air emissions from coating operations. The following protocol outlines the basis for completing an ETV verification test of high-transfer efficiency spray guns.
