Impact/Purpose:
The purpose of these guidelines is to help maintain this credibility and to help ensure the implementation of a strong and distinctive identity for ETV.
Description:
The goal of the U.S. EPA Environmental Technology Verification Program (ETV) is to provide objective, third-party data to the environmental marketplace about the performance of new environmental technologies. Easy identification of technologies for which performance data have been tested and verified through ETV will facilitate the use of such data in the marketplace. A key benefit of the program to technology vendors, purchasers, permitters, and the public is the objectivity and credibility of ETV-generated verification data. The ETV Name and Logo are valuable program assets that must be properly used and protected. Consistently presenting the meaning and benefits of ETV maintains and strengthens the Program's value in the marketplace. These guidelines are designed to ensure a strong identity for ETV, and should be distributed to any individual(s) or organization responsible for preparing materials that will contain the ETV Name or Logo.
