As of June 26th, the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) of Japan has approved Environmental Technology Verification reports conducted in FY2011 ETV program and issued their verification numbers and logos to the approved technologies.
In 2011, 49 verification tests have been performed by the Verification Organizations in six technology areas out of eight specified fields and the verification results have been compiled into reports, and then been approved by the MOE. The details of the verification results can be downloaded on the ETV website's verification information (https://www.env.go.jp/policy/etv/list_20.html).
For your information, it is not that the MOE would assure, acknowledge, and accredit verification reports, but that their environmental performance claims and protection effects have been approved under certain conditions by the Verification Organizations.
