From FY2019, the program procedures related to verification from application (technical recruitment) are as follows.
The Ministry of the Environment solicits environmental technologies to be verified in each area.
The time for the public offering will be posted on this site's public offering page as needed.
The Ministry of the Environment selects environmental technologies to be verified in the next fiscal year after receiving a survey from a Technical research organization that assists the selection of technologies by the Ministry of the Environment.
After the Ministry of the Environment selects the technology to be verified, the Ministry of the Environment will publicly recruit and select a verification organization that will verify the technology by the technology category.
The selected verification organization will formulate a verification plan for each selected technology in consultation with the applicant.
The verification organization performs the verification according to the verification plan.
At the end of the verification, the verification organization will create a verification report in consultation with the applicant and the Ministry of the Environment will approve the verification report. Verification reports approved by the Ministry of the Environment will be published on the Ministry of the Environment website.
After approval of the verification report, the Ministry of the Environment will issue a verification number and logo to the applicant.
If the applicant wishes to perform verification based on existing data (data obtained by an external organization) at the time of application, whether the verification organization can verify with the data in the verification plan formulation after it is adopted as the application technology. confirm. As a result of the confirmation, there is no need to acquire new data if it can be verified.
If it becomes necessary to obtain additional data as a result of the confirmation, it is necessary to establish a verification plan that incorporates the test after conducting discussions between the verification organization and the applicant. In addition, actual expenses such as costs related to the test will be borne by the applicant.
Of the expenses related to the verification, expenses related to the verification * 1 will be borne by the applicant, and other expenses * 2 will be borne by the Ministry of the Environment.
※1 Costs related to verification: Bringing / installing the verification target technology to the test site, operating the verification target technology, removing / returning the verification target technology at the end of the test, consumption due to the test Products, travel expenses for testing (verification) institutions, measurement / analysis costs, etc.
※2 Other expenses: verification plan creation costs, study group operation costs, verification report creation costs, ETV logo issuance costs, etc.

In order to select technologies to be verified by the Ministry of the Environment, the Technical research organizationconducts technical surveys such as collecting necessary information through application document confirmation, literature surveys, interviews with verification applicants, etc. . After that, the Ministry of the Environment will select the technology to be verified (the technology to be verified) from the following viewpoints, based on the contents of the Technical Investigation Review Committee composed of experts.
(1) Formal requirements
Is the application technology applicable to environmental technology?
Can the application technology performance be shown quantitatively?
Is it possible to scientifically explain the principle and mechanism of the application technology?
Is there any incompleteness in the application contents?
Is the technology in the commercialization stage?
(2) Possibility of verification
Whether the verification plan can be properly formulated
Is it possible to verify from the viewpoint of budget, implementation system, etc.
(3) Environmental conservation effects
Is the application technology effective for improving or preserving the environment?
Does any secondary environmental problems occur?
Can high environmental conservation or improvement be expected?
Is it an advanced technology?
The Ministry of the Environment will publish an overview of all selected verification target technologies (name of verification applicant, technology development company name, verification target product name, model number of verification target product, technology overview, etc.). In addition, the Technical research organization notifies the applicant of the technology of the selection result of the verification target technology. If, as a result of selection, the applicated technology is not considered as the verification target technology, the applicant will be notified and the reason will be clearly stated. As a general rule, verification of the technology to be verified is conducted in a single year, but for technologies that require a period of time for verification, implementation in multiple years is also possible.
It may be revised in the future, but the basic description will not change, so if you are considering applying, please try it once. If you have any questions about the description, please use the following advance consultation.
Applicants can receive consultations from Technical research organizations throughout the year on the ETV system in general, application description method, and Verification of application technology.
If you wish to consult, please download the "Preliminary Consultation Form" at the following URL, fill in the content of the consultation, and apply by email. Prior consultation is basically done by e-mail, but consultation by phone or in person is also possible. Also, please note that it may take some time to reply depending on the content of the consultation.

Advance consultation: Center of International Cooperation and Environmental Technologies, Japan Environmental Management Association for Industry TEL: 03-5209-7707
・After application period, conduct a technology survey on the submitted technologies and determine the technologies to be verified. Please note that not all technologies that have been submitted will be subject to verification.
・Note that there is no limit to the number of technologies that an applicant can apply for at one time. However, please understand in advance that there is a limit to the number of cases that can be verified because the budget amount is limited.
・If there are adjustments such as patents related to the technology to be applied for, please apply after completing the adjustments related to the application, such as obtaining prior approval from related parties.
