In the Environmental Technology Verification program (ETV program), a reliable third-party organization (Verification organization) who is neither an environmental technology developer nor a user verifies the environmental conservation effects of environmental technology. Furthermore, the results of Verification tests will be widely announced on the Ministry of the Environment website, etc. to support the spread of environmental technology.

What is “Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) program”?

Environmental conservation effects of advanced environmental technologies already in practical use, secondary environmental impacts, and other important performance (environmental conservation effects, etc.) are verified by third-party organization objectively. As a result, when environmental technology users purchase and introduce technology, it becomes possible to make appropriate selections by facilitating comparative studies on environmental conservation effects. The purpose of the ETV program is to contribute to the development of the environmental industry, including (promoting the spread of environmental technologies, contributing to environmental conservation, and fostering SMEs).

 

What is “Verification”?

A third-party organization that is neither a developer nor a user of environmental technology should show the environmental conservation effects of environmental technology as objective data based on tests. Environmental technologies are defined as advanced technologies that bring about environmental improvement effects or environmental conservation effects, and advanced measurement technologies related to the environment. “Verification” is different from “certification” in which a certain criterion is set and conformity to this criterion is determined.

 

What is Environmental Technology Verification?

A reliable third-party organization (Verification organization) verifies environmental technologies at actual sites and publicizes the results.
Businesses that support the spread of environmental technologies
・2003-: Model program implementation / 2008-: Full implementation
・Consideration of verification methods and evaluation items based on expert opinions (Technical Verification Committee)

 

Advantages of using ETV program

Benefits for users of technology, products etc.
  • With reliable information, environmental technology can be purchased at low risk.
  • Since the ETV procedure has been internationally standardized as ISO14034, environmental technologies verified by the internationally recognized framework can be purchased.
Merits for technology developers, sales agents, etc.
  • Can show users that the data is reliable and objectively verified by a third party
  • By demonstrating, you can receive technical advice from experts, and you can use it to improve and promote sales of your environmental technology.

 

Number of technologies verified (total)

実証した技術数 のべ数

649 technologies have been verified so far (as of the end of 2019)

 

Verification report

■Verification report (detailed version)

The verification report (detailed version) is prepared by the verification organization and is a compilation of all the verification results including the following.
The report is approved by the Ministry of the Environment after being examined by a technical verification committee organized by experts.

● Overall overview

● Outline and purpose of the verification

● Verification contents

  • Details of verification, policy, verification items, etc.
  • Responsible division of Verification participating organizations and Verification participants
  • Overview of verification target technologies (equipment, etc.)
  • Outline of exam (location, institution or other conditions)

● Examination of utilization of test data surveyed in the past (when necessary)

● Test results

● Verification results based on test results

● Consideration of the verification results

● Appendix: Glossary of terms, information on quality control, etc. (if necessary)

■Verification report (summary)

Verification report (summary) is a compact compilation of important verification results based on the verification report (detailed version).
