What is verification?
Verification means the process by which objective
data concerning the environmental conservation effects of an environmental technology
as well as its secondary environmental impacts and other relevant matters are
shown based on tests, etc. by a third party organization which is neither a developer
nor a user of the said technology.
Necessity for a Mechanism to Verify Environmental Technologies
Even advanced environmental technologies
which are ready for commercial application and believed to be useful …
May not have undergone sufficient objective evaluation or verification (in
terms of the environmental conservation effects, O & M cost and required
labor) or may not have well-developed legal and other foundations.
